For his debut performance as Julian Mitchell in Another Nation, Rupert Everett won a BAFTA in 1984. He played an openly gay student in a 1930s English school. In the 1980s and 1990s, he was known for playing bad boys, and his smoldering good looks helped him land roles in films. Everett attempted (unsuccessfully) to turn his celebrity into a pop star career with his song Generation of Loneliness. But it was too late; the audience still regarded him as a fantastic performer, and his artistic endeavors were largely ignored. He won his second BAFTA and his first Golden Globe for My Best Friend’s Wedding in 1997.

Rupert’s current appearance is fine because he no longer resembles the rosy-cheeked kid who once graced the silver screen. He is, however, still behaving in the same manner as before. He was most recently seen in Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, as well as the Shrek films and the Chronicles of Narnia. He has also dabbled in fiction, penning two memoirs and a novel. He’s spoken out on a number of political and social issues, including prostitution decriminalization and same-sex marriage. Clearly, there has always been more to this new Renaissance man than meets the eye.
