Rupert Everett - Biography
Producers of 1997's My Best Friend's Wedding knew Rupert Everett was a hit when audiences cheered at preview screenings. He was such a success they shot nearly 20 more minutes of him. And a mystery man scripted to sweep Julia Roberts' character off her feet gave way to allow the handsome gay best friend to reappear instead. Considered by many an overnight success when he gained worldwide fame with the role, Rupert had actually spent 20 years on the path to Hollywood.
Rupert Everett's early life and career
Born on May 29, 1959, in Norfolk, England, the son of an army officer-turned-businessman, Rupert attended boarding institutions from the age of seven, including a school in a Benedictine monastery, which he left aged 15. By then, he said, "I wanted to be a star. I would spend my whole time pretending I was being photographed by paparazzi and stuff, or bowing at curtain calls."
Within years he began studying at London's Central School For Speech And Drama, but he was thrown out at 19, he says, for reasons he cou

Rupert Everett (Rupert James Hector Everett, born 29 May 1959) is an Englishactor, singer and writer. He became famous when he appeared in Julian Mitchell's play and movieAnother Country playing an openlyhomosexual student at an English public school in the 1930s. He has since appeared in many other works, including My Best Friend's Wedding, The Next Best Thing and the Shreksequels.
Everett left school at 16 and ran away to London to become an actor. In order to support himself, he worked as a prostitute for drugs and money—he disclosed this information in an interview for US magazine in 1997.[1] After being dismissed from the Central School of Speech and Drama, he travelled to Scotland and

In 1997 Rupert Everett became a certified film star by playing a supporting role as Julia Roberts' gay chum in the overrated US comedy, My Best Friend's Wedding (d. P.J.Hogan), which brought him several awards, including a BAFTA. Interviews confirmed his gay identity and his refusal to hide it in a Hollywood usually nervous on this matter.
Born in Norfolk on 29 May 1959 to wealthy parents, educated at Ampleforth College and, after a self-confessed stint as a prostitute, trained for the stage at Central School, he had West End success in Another Country (1982), as a young Guy Burgess type, repeating the role on film (d. Marek Kanievska, 1984). Between that and his late 1990s réclame, he made some curious choices, the most interesting of which were the moody, Venice-set sexual drama, The Comfort of Strangers (UK/Italy, d. Paul Schrader, 1990) and as the indolent, waspish Prince of Wales in The Madness of King George (UK/US, d.Nicholas Hytner, 1994).
None of his international films was a popular success (including Robert Altman's Prêt-à-Porter, 1994): some, indee
