The English star, who is frequently seen on the arm of designer Donatella Versace, has lashed out at some other aging members of the Hollywood elite, for their career decisions during recent years.

"The Next Best Thing" star told London's Independent On Sunday newspaper, "De Niro, Robert Redford, Woody Allen, Diane Keaton and Pacino - they're all just tragic parodies of themselves. Al Pacino looks like a mad old freak now. I say give it a rest, or go and do some serious stuff."

But the attack didn't end there. Rupert - who is openly gay - discussed Oscar winner George Clooney's career and political aspirations.

The star said, "Clooney thinks that, provided he does films which are politically committed, he's allowed to do Ocean's 11, 12 and 13 But the Ocean's movies are a cancer to world culture. They're destroying us. He's not the brightest spark on the boulevard. He'll be president one day. Mark my words, if he's straight, he'll be president."
