John Cleese Denies Piers Morgan and Robbie Coltrane Fight

British actor JOHN CLEESE has denied seeing AMERICA'S GOT TALENT judge PIERS MORGAN fighting with HARRY POTTER star ROBBIE COLTRANE while they all dined at a famed London restaurant.

Morgan and Coltrane - who plays Hagrid in the hit movie franchise - were reported to have nearly come to blows during a recent incident at the Ivy eaterie, after Morgan allegedly heard the actor call him an "arsehole".

An onlooker tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Piers was red-faced with anger and snarled at Robbie, 'If you've got something to say to me, say it to my face.'

"It was all a little undignified but Piers didn't start it."

The reality TV judge's verbal outburst is said to have stunned diners, including Faulty Towers star Cleese.

But a representative for the actor has dismissed reports he saw an altercation between the two men, saying, "He didn't witness a row of any kind, although he did chat with Robbie."
