Rupert Everett, 67, Calls His Past 'Lethal' and Says Weightlifting Left Him Nearly Crippled

Summary
Rupert Everett said at 67 that he was once "lethal" and "slightly sociopathic," describing a younger self driven by pleasure, gossip and vanity in an interview with The Guardian.
The actor said that same carelessness extended to his body: years of weightlifting without stretching tightened his tendons, and he now feels "almost crippled" and expects a musculoskeletal decline.
Everett said age has pulled him far from the clubbing life he once assumed would continue into his 70s, replacing it with quieter interests and a less self-absorbed outlook.
Living with his husband Henrique for 16 years, after confirming their marriage in August 2024, has also forced him to be more considerate of other people's space.
