RUPERT EVERETT WILDE THING
With a sparkling new memoir out, the ace anecdotalist entertains us with tales of royalty - of the Hollywood and home-grown varieties
INTERVIEW: SALLY MORGAN
Few men would be so foolhardy as to stand up Dame Joan Collins, but Rupert Everett sheepishly admits he once made that mistake. In his new memoir, To the End of the World: Travels with Oscar Wilde, he recalls how he left the actress waiting at The Ivy restaurant after he’d inadvertently double-booked, but that he eventually won her forgiveness.
“I love Joan,” the actor purrs down the phone in this exclusive interview with HELLO!. “She’s a great inspiration and a wonderful friend.”
His former BFF Madonna wasn’t quite as understanding when he famously described the singer as an “old whiny barmaid” in his autobiography, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins, but that’s another story.
