Rupert Everett Wonders Why He Sits ‘Unf*cked’ in His Hotel Room

Andy Towle April 6, 2009

Our theatre critic Kevin Sessums interviews Rupert Everett for The Daily Beast (he's back on Broadway in a revival of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit with Angela Lansbury.

Everett1 Given Everett's recent profile in the NYT and this new one, entitled "Rupert Everett Unleashed", one wonders if Rupert Everett is ever leashed. I don't think so.

Here's what he has to say about gays who want to be parents:

"I think this surrogacy thing is crap. It is utterly hideous. I thinkit’s egocentric and vain. And these endless IVF treatments people gothrough. I mean, if you are meant to have babies then great. But thiswhole idea of two gay guys filling a cocktail shaker with their spermand impregnating some grim lesbian and then it gets cut out is justreally weird. If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I wouldadopt—or foster. But this whole thing of forcing the idea of parenthoodon us gay men is so bogus. Marriage? Babies? Please. I want to beillegal. I want to live outside the mainstream."

Everett believes his wish to be outside of the mainstream puts him "ahead of the curve."

"These awful middle-class queens—which is what the gay movement hasbecome—are so tiresome. It’s all Abercrombie & Fitch and strollers.Everybody has the right to do what they want to do, but still…"

As in his NYT profile, Everett also bemoans the state of being out and gay in Hollywood:

Everett2 "But the reason my career is so up and down is that I get very littleopportunity. There is just very little opportunity for a fag. That’sthe reality. There isn’t. But I have no regrets for being out. None.It’s not like I’m missing out on that much. Being an actor in Hollywoodis not that great a job anymore. It’s become the sluttiest job on theplanet. It’s not remotely serious. It’s not like we’re talking aboutHollywood in the 1970s that I’m missing out on. If we were talkingabout ‘70s Hollywood, then I’d be killing myself because the productback then was so astonishing even though it was still thought of ascommercial cinema."

And he wonders why he sits in his room "unfucked" while some "buffoon" like Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter gets all the sex:

"I was once staying at a hotel and I was in the room directly under his.He is an amazing fuck. And you can quote me on this. The screams comingfrom the woman were some of the purest sounds of pleasure I’d everheard. And there I was sitting alone in my room unfucked. Suddenly itall made sense. That messy hair of his that I always thought wasbuffoon hair was buffoon hair hiding a monster cock. The next day Iwent down to breakfast and Graydon came in and I thought to myself,well, now I understand why you are always acting so entitled andwalking on air even though you’re rather fat. It’s because grazing thegrass between your legs is this appendage of yours. I did ratherpolitely tell him that morning that I thought he was a very good fuck."
