June 9, 2008: "Rupert Everett Says Sorry For Calling British Soldiers "Wimps"" British actor Rupert Everett is apologizing for calling his country's soldiers "wimps" in an interview with a newspaper over the weekend. While promoting his TV documentary "The Victorian Sex Explorer," Rupert Everett tells U.K. paper Sunday Telegraph, "In Burton's (army officer and explorer Sir Richard Burton, the character he plays in the show) day they were itching to get into the fray. Now it is the opposite. They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now!" "The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000 ft. above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!" "The whole point of being in the Army is going to war and getting yourself blown up... Yet we all get shocked by Abu Ghraib." Rupert Everett, 49, then issues a statement to apologize "without reserve" for his tirade. Rupert Everett says, "I apologize without reserve to the many in this country, and hundreds and thousands of others across the world who have lost their brothers and sisters, their fathers and mothers to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the countless others." "I never meant to any point to question the bravery of those who lose their lives, or survive, but without arms or legs. Just seeing these people in my mind's eye right now makes me feel a terrible anguish." Rupert Everett adds, "My flippant and irresponsible behavior arises from a deep frustration at the fact that we seem to be continually making war, dreaming up new ones, instead of doing everything we can to avoid them." *** Actor and former singer Rupert Everett picture(s)/pic(s), wallpaper and photo gallery. Birth name: Rupert James Hector Everett. Born: May 29, 1959 Norfolk, England, UK. Height: 6' 4" (1.93 m). Rupert Everett biography (bio): Rupert James Hector Everett is a Golden Globe-nominated English actor and a former singer. He first came to public attention in 1982 when he was cast in Julian Mitchell's play and subsequent movie Another Country for playing an openly homosexual student at an English public school, set in the 1930s. He has since featured in many other films with major roles, including My Best Friend's Wedding, The Next Best Thing and the Shrek sequels. Personal life: Everett was born in Norfolk, England, the son of Major Anthony Michael Everett, who worked in business and served in the military, and Sara MacLean, who was Scottish, and descended from the baronets Vyvyan of Trelowarren and the German Schmiedern barons. He has an older brother, Simon Anthony Cunningham Everett (b. 1956). He's also a grand-nephew of Donald Maclean, the (in)famous spy, with whom he shares a striking resemblance. They are also both bisexual. From the age of 7 he was educated at Farleigh School, Hampshire, and later was educated by Benedictine monks at Ampleforth College, Yorkshire, but he dropped out of school aged 15 and ran away to London to become an actor. In order to support himself, he worked as a male prostitute, or "rent boy", as he later admitted to US magazine in 1997. After being dismissed from the Central School of Speech and Drama for insubordination, he travelled to Scotland and got a job at the Citizens' Theatre in Glasgow. Career: His break came with the 1982 West End production of Another Country, playing a gay schoolboy opposite Kenneth Branagh, followed by a film version in 1984 with Colin Firth. He began to develop a promising film career, until he co-starred with Bob Dylan in the huge flop Hearts of Fire (1987). Around the same time, Everett recorded and released an album of pop songs, entitled Generation Of Loneliness. Despite being managed by the largely successful pop svengali Simon Napier-Bell (who also managed Marc Bolan, launched and managed Japan, and steered Wham! to international fame) and the title track reaching the Top 40 in the UK, the public didn't take to his change in direction. The shift was shortlived, and Everett would only return to pop indirectly by providing backing vocals for his friend Madonna many years later, on her cover of American Pie. In 1989 he moved to Paris, writing a novel Hello, Darling, Are You Working? and coming out as gay, a move which some at the time perceived as damaging to his career. Returning to the public eye in The Comfort of Strangers (1990), several films of variable success followed. In 1995 he released a second novel, The Hairdressers of St. Tropez. Everett's career was revitalized by My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), playing Julia Roberts's gay friend. In 1999, he played Madonna's gay best friend in The Next Best Thing (he also sang backup on her cover of "American Pie", which is on the film's soundtrack). He has since appeared in a number of high-profile film roles, often playing heterosexual leads. He is also a Vanity Fair contributing editor. In 2006 Everett published his memoir, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins. In it he revealed he had had a 6-year affair with British television presenter Paula Yates. “I am mystified by my heterosexual affairs — but then I am mystified by most of my relationships," he said, with the article describing him as bisexual as opposed to homosexual. But in a radio show with Jonathan Ross, Everett described his heterosexual affairs as resulting from adventurousness: "I was basically adventurous, I think I wanted to try everything". The Italian comics character Dylan Dog, created by Tiziano Sclavi, is graphically inspired by Everett. The English actor, in turn, later appeared in an adaptation of a novel based on Sclavi's novel, Dellamorte Dellamore. In 2007 he appeared in the Comic Relief special Comic Relief Does The Apprentice, where he left after a day after being very uncomfortable being in front of cameras. He also led the 2007 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. On July 7, 2007 Everett presented Live Earth. On July 20, 2007 he presented the Channel 4 show, The Friday Night Project. On August 3, 2007 he said something inappropriate for early morning TV on BBC One's Breakfast about why one would frequent the back of a provincial cinema.
