Rupert Everett: "Dysfunctional" Actors Are More Interesting

 
February 23, 2009 
 

Rupert Everett says "dysfunctional" actors are more interesting. The openly-gay British star believes is it beneficial for an actor's art if they have struggled with drugs, alcohol or their sexuality.

He said: "You should be able to go off and have a breakdown or be a heroin addict, whatever it is, your particular problem of choice. That's what makes you an interesting actor, anyway. We're more interesting if we are dysfunctional."

However, Rupert admits being a homosexual did pose problems for his career, claiming he was rejected for the lead role alongside Sharon Stone in the "Basic Instinct" sequel because he was gay.

The 49-year-old star insists his sexuality has restricted his film role choices and prevented him from becoming a Hollywood leading man.

The "My Best Friend's Wedding" actor explained: "I wanted to be a movie star. I had a difficult set of circumstances to deal with, particularly for a movie career. Being gay, really. It just doesn't work."
