Rupert Everett grew up in privileged circumstances, but the wry, sometimes arrogant intellectual was a rebel from the very beginning. At the age of 7, he was placed into the care of Benedictine monks at Ampleforth College where he trained classically on the piano. He was expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London for clashing with his teachers and instead apprenticed himself at the avant-garde Glasgow Citizen's Theater in Scotland. In 1984, he successfully transferred another stage role, Another Country, to film, and became England's hottest new international star. But, again, the wickedly sharp and suave rebel doused his own career by clashing with the press and even with his own fans. In 1989, Everett declared openly his own homosexuality, an announcement that could have mortally wounded his film career. Instead, over time, it has had the opposite effect.
