BITTER BETTY:
Dude, you've had a great film career. Why are you so hostile?
You have starred in one of the most iconic, well-noted, gay romantic films of all time: Maurice.
Any of today's out gay stars would love to have half the career you have had. "Lighten up." as Madgey would say.
Rupert Everett touches on all kind of subjects for his new interview with The Guardian:
On being OUT in the film industry:
"The fact is that you could not be, and still cannot be, a 25-year-old homosexual trying to make it in the British film business or the American film business or even the Italian film business. It just doesn't work and you're going to hit a brick wall at some point. You're going to manage to make it roll for a certain amount of time, but at the first sign of failure they'll cut you right off. And I'm sick of saying, 'Yes, it's probably my own fault.' Because I've always tried to make it work and when it stops working somewhere, I try to make it work somewhere else. But the fact of the matter is, and I don't care who disagrees, it doesn't work if you're gay...It's not that advisable to be honest. It's not very easy. And, honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out."
Starring with Skeletor in The Next Best Thing:
"I have never read such bad reviews in my life. It blew my new career out of the water and turned my pubic hair white overnight."
Not the best of times:
"It's worse now. A gay man can only do drag. I've been reduced to drag. The next stop is probably The Dick Emery Show for me."
