Rupert Everett
has slammed Hollywood for being discriminatory toward gay
actors. The star of An
Ideal Husband believes heterosexual actors are
at a distinct advantage in Tinseltown because of their
sexuality, reports the Irish Examiner.
"Without doubt
gays are discriminated against in show business," the
47-year-old actor said. "The straight one gets to walk down
a red carpet with a beautiful girl and everything
works out, and the gay one has to backpedal and do
independent movies. Yet everything Hugh Grant does, I
could be in."
Everett added:
"To be a movie star you have got to have a
good-looking girlfriend, and for Hugh [Grant], Elizabeth
Hurley helped. It is a trophy job. You need a lot of
energy to have a trophy girlfriend. I take my hat off
to anyone who has one." (The Advocate)
