British actor Rupert Everett is known for always putting in his 2 cents, regardless if he upsets people or even if no one wants to hear what he has to say. In a recent interview, he blames his failing career on coming out and also gratuitously rips into Jennifer Aniston.
It’s unknown whether he has an older beef with the former “Friends” star or whether his dislike of her is simply this great to name-drop her like that.
Still, what he has to say about Aniston is not nice – and he’s certainly not sugarcoating it,
PopEater underlines. As he puts it, it’s the industry that’s supporting Aniston, despite the fact that her films continue to flop at the box office.
“If you look and analyze the careers of many, many stars, you’ll find that they’re mostly sustained by the business,” he says, speaking in general.
Everett believes
his own career tanked because he chose to come out as gay and that didn’t fit in with the industry’s standards and stereotypes.
“You’ll find there’s lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they’ll stand with them for quite a long time,” he says of those lucky enough to meet all the demands of industry people.
Like Aniston, for example, who continues to make films even if they don’t sell. Moreover, she’s still able to command huge paychecks, Everett points out.
“OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she’s still a member of that club,” he says.
“And she will still manage to... like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless rom-com, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula,” he adds.
However, the time will come for her when her star will explode, Everett also seems to be saying. He will probably be watching when that happens. A rep for Aniston has not yet commented on the scathing comments.
