Everett: "I can't think of anything worse than being brought up by two gay dads."

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

He's always saying stupid crap like this.

He's been bitter for years. Claims coming out killed his career, when it was the newest English flavor (Hugh Grant) that did him in.

Well that and the fact that he can't act.

In Hysteria, his face was like one of those paintings in an old dark house movie where the face is still but the eyes move from behind the portrait.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

That, and he's an asshole.

He has always come off like an ass. Thankfully his opinion doesn't matter (IMO).

He has a smaller role in Rainbow's End and his face is hidden by a large beard--I wondered if it was to hide all the surgery.

He's clearly one of those people who thinks that because he's gay he can say stupid SH*T like this. Turns out he's just a F*CKing idiot.
I'm not really sure what he gets out of saying things like these, he's the only one staying bitter, and clearly no actor in Hollywood is paying attention to him since so many of them have started to come out.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

Well, if every gay man was like Rupert Everett, I would wholeheartedly agree.

Methinks he sees little else in the world but himself and his own experiences and he's right...people like that shouldn't be raising children.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Borstalboy is precisely on target, in my opinion.

Everett's statement is so foolish and inflammatory--if I were just a teensy bit more cynical, I'd think he said it just for the media buzz.

You think, what do you want? You think, make a decision...

Well, the only media play he gets anymore is when he says this obnoxiously self-loathing BS.

His tongue and brain seem to resent engaging. It causes a lot of problems wherever he goes.

The great thing with human brains is they're fanless, nice and quiet although I'm sure mine whistles a bit sometimes.

He's like the male gay Camille Paglia, circa 1992.

Although how much media coverage is he even getting for saying these comments? It's not like it's all over the news. He's just incredibly irrelevant and it has nothing to do with him being gay, and everything to do with his attitude (I won't judge his talents as he was really good in the Broadway revival of BLITHE SPIRIT, the only thing I've seen him in).

EDIT: On a more positive note, love the thread title, Kad

If he really can't think of anything worse than being raised by two gay men, he should try sitting through THE NEXT BEST THING sometime.

1. I started cackling at Roscoe's comment

2. It's funny, because I could never understand how anyone involved with The Next Best Thing could make it, especially not someone like Madonna, who is supposed to be such a gay advocate. The movie says terrible things about gay people - like the way to humiliate a straight man is to imply that he's gay; that straight people can trick you into believing you've fathered a child, know that's not true and withhold that information until the gay father becomes a problem in the straight person's life, etc. The entire message of the movie seemed to be "Don't bite the straight hand that feeds you." In retrospect, it makes perfect sense why Rupie would have been a part of it. It hates gay people as much as he does.

Phyllis, I thought the opposite. I mean, I dislike the film as intensely as you do, but it seemed to me to be making the gay characters into such total Saints that I found them damn near inhuman -- they're all so pure and noble and oppressed, poor darlings, it just makes me want to go out and burn a rainbow flag. The straight folks in the movie are the real villains -- ghastly self-absorbed creatures one and all, especially Madonna's character. I remember being surprised that she was allowing herself to play such a relentlessly awful woman -- she makes Evita look like Mother Theresa.

I think we're actually on a similar pages. The gays in the movie were weak and to be pitied. (I totally forget until this moment that Neil Patrick Harris was the one who awkwardly set up a connection to "American Pie" in the movie, giving Madonna reason to cover it).

I thought the straights in the movie were villainous, but I don't think they were intended to be seen that way. But that sh*t that she pulled with the paternity, and then that trial and THEN at the end her saintly self lets him see the kid anyway.

I remember being surprised that she was allowing herself to play such a relentlessly awful woman -- she makes Evita look like Mother Theresa.

I just don't think she - and possibly anyone involved with the movie - saw it that way. I think everyone saw it as a very modern look at how we have relationships!

The thoughts verbalised from beneath it may be unhelpful (particularly when given to The Telegraph) but I do like his Parade's End beard.

Exactly. The movie set a real standard for sheer smugness.

I kinda like the beard too, Scripps.

Don't forget Next Best Thing was directed (and apparently killed) once legendary director John Schlesinger. Re the gay stuff, while they may seem old fashioned now in their attitudes, his Midnight Cowboy and especially Sunday Bloody Sunday were pretty shocking for mainstream releases at the time. Kinda sad that Next Best Thing was his last...
