The Globe Theatre in London has a "Supporting Wall" which bears the names of individual donors to the Shakespeare's Globe Trust. John Cleese bought two "signatures" on the wall, one for himself and one for Michael, whose name he intentionally spelt incorrectly as "Michael Pallin".
Michael supports the football teams, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday.
Michael spent a week in New York filming his role in You've Got Mail as the long time customer of Meg Ryan's character, but his role was cut from the movie.
