St Trinian’s and My Best Friend’s Wedding star Rupert Everett is abit of a twat for slashing out on the late Michael Jackson.
With the majority of celebs and fans still mourning the death of the singer, in a recent interview with the Daily Mirror, the British actor had this to say about Michael:
“I think it was fortuitous that he died. He was supposed to be doing 50 concerts in London. It wouldn’t have mattered how good or bad he was. He wouldn’t have managed to do all of them and the press would have destroyed him.”
Everett then went on to compare Jackson to Shrek.
“He was a freak. He looked like a character from Shrek. He was a black to white minstrel. He was crucified by that court case when he was accused of child molestation – that killed him. He personified the pain and anxiety of a black man in a slave country. We all watched as he changed from black to white. He was living performance art. You cannot divide the music from the person. I think his life – and death – is a great lesson. I think we are going to see the end of celebrity as we know it. Showbusiness is not an honest profession. It’s like the last days of Versailles. I do wonder how much more bullsh*t people can take about celebrities.”
The 50-year-old actor, who is openly gay, has worked as a rentboy to fund his drugs habit, joked “I would have leapt at the chance of sleeping with Michael Jackson when I was 14.”
And on US president Barack Obama, Rupert said:
“We’re living in very strange times. We have Michael Jackson, a black man who has gone white, and we have President Barack Obama, who is a half white man gone black. It’s absolutely fascinating to watch.”
WoW! this man was really out for the publicity.
What a cheap douchebag!

I think he is absolutely right with all of his comments.
Who is he anyway?
This guy is a fucking moron.
I have to agree with the man. For God sake Michael jackson was a paedophile.
Rupert just speaks out what a lot of people think, I guess. Before Michael’s death everybody said, he was a freak. After his death, everyone seem to be his biggest fan.
Hypocrite!
Obama half and half yes..half idiot..half liar.
he is a has-been…well actually a never-been trying to get his 5 minutes in the spot light
