My Take
I've always had a soft spot for Rupert Everett — there's something almost unfairly glamorous about him, this tall, sardonic Brit who oozed sophistication in every frame. His breakthrough in Another Country back in 1984 was genuinely striking: playing a gay student in repressed 1930s England with so much cool intelligence that you couldn't look away. My Best Friend's Wedding cemented him as the best friend everyone actually wanted on screen, upstaging the leads with effortless wit. And then there's the delicious irony of him voicing Prince Charming in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third — arch, preening, absurdly funny. What I admire most, though, is his candour off-screen: openly gay at a time when it cost careers, never pretending otherwise, and later channelling that outsider perspective into his writing. Underappreciated, under-awarded, always interesting.
