Thanks Dollypop!

I would NOT approach him on the first place neither for his autograph! No but thanks. I got more important thing to do than line up for his autograph like catch my bus back so I could be home early!

Jaystarr, I believe he wrote that HE would never adopt a child...

Oh. He is entitled to his opinion like everyone else...I just dont agree with his opinion and that does make him a lesser actor in my eyes. I just dont like what he says and I am just not excited to see him! that's all...

Openly-homo actor Rupert Everett doesn't want kids and he also doesn't think gay dudes should have kids either.

He doesn't think kids should go through the embarassment of having two dads.

I just wanna clarify that and like Flyingmonkey..I am just answering and question and explaining as to why I dont like him because I think he should think twice before he opens his mouth!

I think the line between a person as a human being and an individual as an actor/performer is getting blurred here. I'll go out on a limb and cite an specific example from my own experience. Marc Kudish, in addition to being very rude to me personally (and I'm not talking about getting an autograph)has made some offensive remarks regarding sexuality. Translate: I don't like the guy from what I know of him as a person. However, I've seen Marc Kudish do some fine work in the theatre. Translate: I like his work. Rupert Everett may be the nastiest person in the world, for all I know (and I don't). But if he gives a good performance in Blithe Spirit, I will not allow my personal feelings about him influence my opinion of him as an actor in Blithe Spirit. Now, if he gives what I view as an unsatisfactory performance, then that might deter me from seeing him again. If what he has said or done publicly is so offensive to you that you cannot bear to see him in the theatre, that is certainly your prerogative. As I said, I have no preconceived notions about Everett one way or the other.

Sounds like Rupert and Crazy Christine will get along just swell.

And, seriously, last year we had a Broadway leading man who had just been jailed for statutory rape.

Great piece...I think he's very honest about his issues and I bet he's going to be really great in this show. I'm excited.

Interesting article. I started off very excited about seeing Rupert in Blithe Spirit, then it waned, and that article's brought some of it back again. But I think I'll wait for some audience reactions to the show before I buy a ticket.

I would love to see this "Blithe Spirit"! But, unfortunately, I am in the wrong country.

But getting so twitchy over his gay parenting opinions is just too silly! Ed Motishead had it right above.
