Rupert Everett on moving in with his mum and crushing on Colin Firth

"He has lived the wild life in Hollywood and New York, partied with Madonna, hung out with Andy Warhol, and sniffed poppers with Hardy Amies but Rupert Everett’s next chapter promises to be more sedate: he’s moving in with his mum.

“It’s done, I’m there,” the actor told Hay literary festival in Wales. “It’s very peculiar, I’m not sure if it’s a wonderful thing, or a tragic thing yet.

“You spend so much energy getting away from home, but there’s something about age … you feel dragged back to the beaches of youth. I don’t know how it’s going to work out.”

--

Moving in his with his mother, a redoubtable figure in her 80s, is his next project. The house in Wiltshire has been split between them. “It is in the countryside, I’m going to be able to work and write and do some other projects.”

Everett, who’s turning 59 on Tuesday, predicted: “There are going to be quite a few ‘star wars’ between us.”

--

His Oscar Wilde film has been screened at film festivals and garnered good reviews with the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw writing: “It is a part he was born to play, and he does it with exactly the right kind of poignantly ruined magnificence.”

He has speaking in Hay with the BBC’s Alan Yentob, who spent five years making an Imagine documentary on the 10 years it took Everett to make his passion project film.

Everett said it could not have been made without financial backers knowing that Colin Firth would be in it.

He first met Firth as a young man seeing him on stage and having a complete crush. They appeared together in the 1984 film Another Country where Everett went off him.

“I found him incredibly dreary, I thought I can’t believe I fell in love with this bore!” They fell out but, fortunately, became friends 10 years later on the set of Shakespeare in Love."

Beryl from next door told me that with all of Rupe's plastic surgery, that his Mum didn't recognize him. When he first entered the house, she thought he was an intruder and called the police.

Rupert Everett was quite the dashing looker back in the day. He hasn't aged very well but at 59 we can't expect him to look smashing and young anymore.

He had a fairly good run in movies.

R13, he's been a bitter old grump for years. He's pissed that he never became a STAH. He constantly blames that on coming out, but he's generally a lazy actor and he has an off-putting air about him that I'm sure didn't appeal to a larger film audience.

He probably found Firth "boring" because Firth wouldn't sleep with him.

by Anonymousreply 18May 28, 2018 3:43 PM

Side note: the role Firth played in the film of ANOTHER COUNTRY was played by Kenneth Branagh on stage. Wonder if Everett tried to tap that?

Everett goes off on Firth every now and then but I don't recall his saying anything bitchy about Branagh.

The beard makes his plastic surgery look less severe, but he needs to work on the expression on his face, which seems to be in permanent scowl mode.

I’ve always enjoyed him as an actor. He a capability for comedy, which I think might help him at this point.

Men can age beautifully and still be gorgeous but not in the same (of course) way that we are in our prime youth. Age is age. But, good lord, this guy chopped himself up but good. Ruined his looks. NEVER looked the same after whatever bizarre procedures he had done. Work done on men has to be done extremely well or it ruins everything. It's organic. No eye work. No fillers. Chin and neck? Yes. Hair plugs or transplant? Yes. But, again, only if done extremely well. Whoever worked on this guy should be sued. Rupert Everett has a double whammy because he also has (had?) a shitty personality. Whiney and entitled and angry because "being openly gay ruined his career." Please, bitch. Victim much? So, he's now hideous looking (Rocky Dennis territory) and a bitter old cow. Going to live with mum sounds like a smart strategy. No, I don't know him personally and perhaps I am wrong about his career/personality but from everything I have ever read about him, this is the common theme (being openly gay cost him a career).

Please, it's not like he was playing Tom Cruise type roles BEFORE he came out, so he needs to get over it.

He really messed himself up. It looks a bit more settled than before. He was on a BBC2 series titled "Quacks" and he now just merely looks old instead of Frankenstein's Monster.

I dont know why but it always shocks me to see people who age badly. I guess I can never understand how someone can be so damn gorgeous,then 30 years later they are unrecognizable. More than once Ive looked up old boyfriends and tricks and been completely flabbergasted at how little remains of their hotness. I guess Im lucky in that I look older but still like myself (and yes,I was hot).

Back in the 90's I would run into Rupert every other year or so in a sauna or sex club in a classy city like Vienna, Geneva, and Munich. We both had the lithe youthful look still possible in gay years, in dark places. Now is he OK having eldergay sex next to mom's place, or has he lost his mojo? I'm a couple years younger than he is but I haven't completely retired my hole. I wouldn't want mom seeing some the creatures still willing give me a ride.

Sorry if this goes off topic, but a lot of hot guys resent their looks and do self destructive things to lose their looks fast, because they believe, or rather hope, that as soon they lose their looks people will finally love and respect them for something else than their looks.

Rupert doesn't like gay marriage very much. From wikipedia:

Everett has been an outspoken critic towards the introduction of same-sex marriage, stating: '"I loathe heterosexual weddings. The wedding cake, the party, the champagne, the inevitable divorce two years later. It's just a waste of time in the heterosexual world, and in the homosexual world I find it personally beyond tragic that we want to ape this institution that is so clearly a disaster."

by Anonymousreply 42May 28, 2018 6:24 PM

It isn't self-loathing it's about aesthetics. In terms of rights, our rights are still in jeopardy as it was decided that "marriage" was more important than housing and employment rights for gay people, which have still not been secured nation-wide.

by Anonymousreply 43May 28, 2018 6:27 PM

r42,

not r40, but on one hand, yes, it's nice to have the option to marry the one you love, but on the other it's very likely that the one you love most today turns out to be the one you hate most further down the road.

And r39's quote rings true to me, but then I come from a fucked up home where I grew up with my grandmother being beaten up by my grandfather and my dad beating me and my mom.

And just to clarify. I think it's great to have the option to marry, but I don't see myself to get married. Ever.

Why would anyone want their 59-year-old son moving back in with them? I assume he ran that by her but why she would agree is beyond me. Unless she's lonely. I hope it's a very large house.

He ruined his face with bad plastic surgery. And all the partying didn't help. Running with the vampiress Madonna would age anyone.

I saw the documentary they made about him on TV last week.

It showed him going to the new house and overseeing the work. Looks like a big house.

He's almost 60 and she's in her 80s and a widow - she needs looking after and will need more looking after in the near future so they've decided to do this. Bit like getting "mom" to move in with you in old age.

He's writing more etc...and thinks it will be a good idea to live in the country and he wants to take care of her.

Have to admit I get queasy too when gay couples ape straight weddings. I’m all for the equal legal protections of marriage but not enthusiastic about weddings and being “given away” etc. even at the straight events. So when a gay couple does the whole shebang it’s almost creepy. I never let on about my dislike of weddings to the couples straight or gay. I fall into line with all the nonsense and hope they don’t divorce!

I was dating a Brit here in NYC in 1997 who was a friend of Rupert's from London. My ex always joked that he gave Rupert his first Quaalude. New Years Eve found Rupert in NYC and my friend and I were all invited to meet him at his hotel room at the Paramount before heading to the Roxy. Rupert was a standoffish prick. Very unfriendly to the other people in the room. My ex and I even invited a beautiful Brazilian guy who was new to NYC to join us in the hope that they would hit it off. This Brazilian guy spoke limited English and never heard of Rupert before (I told him about his film career in the cab over). Rupert was so singlehandedly snobby to everyone in the group that this Brazilian blew him off without a second thought, much to Rupert's disappointment. I have met celebs before who have been very down to earth and friendly, but Rupert was not one of them, not by a long shot. Arrogant and dismissive. I do have to give credit where credit is due, because at the time I remember how tall he was and how he had the best head of hair around...his body was very fit too. I can only imagine what a demanding queen he would be in bed.

Being a hot, handsome and in demand gay man makes aging soul crushing for most. For those average Joes under 30 out there, be grateful - you are forced to learn to value more than your and others appearance. It’s a blessing in disguise.

Discussing his overwhelming sexual attraction to her, he said: 'She had a fragility that was erotic to men. She could break if you squeezed her too hard.

'She had a tiny waist that you could put your hands around and your fingers would nearly touch. This was her most extraordinary feature, because it gave the man she let hold her a sense of protective power; even if you were gay, you could not help but feel turned on.'
