Sex used to be my whole life, says Rupert

Sex used to be my whole life, says Rupert

    Rupert Everett, who is openly gay, insists his “whole life was about sex” during his youth, because he loved it. He was furious with his religion, and he enjoyed sleeping with people so much that he wasn’t ever bothered whether his sexual partners were “attractive” or not. He said: “I was a sl*t. I loved sex. You were told [at school] that if you got a hard-on, you should turn over and pray. You somehow make it work for yourself, but it gives you lots of bubbles inside. I wanted to tear everything down, and the way I found to do it was sex. They didn’t necessarily have to be attractive. It depends how the lights are hitting you and how the drinks are hitting you. My whole life was about sex, really, in one sense or another.” In Rupert’s 2006 memoir
Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins he confessed to telling a friend he was sleeping with Sir Ian McKellen, who he used to stalk during his younger years when he was living in London, and he insists it is a “shame” people are no longer allowed to stalk others. He added to a foreign magazine: “I did sleep with Ian McKellen. I loved stalking people. Now it’s illegal, such a shame. Such fun.”
