The Fawlty Towers and Monty Python star also suggested killing European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker would be the best way to reform the European bloc.
A prominent Liberal Democrat supporter, Cleese added it was a “sad” situation and appeared to address his message to party grandee Lord Ashdown, who is campaigning for Remain.
He tweeted: “If I thought there was any chance of major reform in the EU, I’d vote to stay in. But there isn’t. Sad. Sorry, Paddy.”
Along with revealing his personal opinion, the television star also proposed a series of EU reforms – including giving up the Euro, introduce accountability and to “hang” Jean-Claude Juncker.
Cleese accused Mr Juncker of “threatening” Britain and branded David Cameron’s attempts at reform a failure as he revealed he will be supporting Vote Leave on June 23.
He also said Britain had been “swimming against the tide” in its bid to bring about change in Brussels, where bureaucrats had taken away “any trace of democratic accountability”.
The actor then dismissed claims Britain would struggle to set up free trade deals after leaving the EU, writing: “There’s been trading for millenia…I can’t see that stopping.
“And don’t we buy more from the EU than they do from us.
