Actor Rupert Everett spoke to BBC Radio 4 about homosexuals in Hollywood. During the conversation, the topic turned to star power and who and how stars are made. Everett stated that ultimately, the business itself chooses the A-list."If you look and analyze the careers of many, many stars, you'll find that they're mostly sustained by the business," he said. "I'm not going to start naming names of people whose films have not succeeded at the box office, but you'll find there's lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they'll stand with them for quite a long time."
Though he said he wouldn’t name names, he went ahead and named Jennifer Aniston anyway and used her as an example.
"OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she's still a member of that club, and she will still manage to…like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless rom-com, you know, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula," Everett said.
Along with Aniston, he went on to comment on Colin Firth of The King’s Speech’s career, specifically his role in Mamma Mia, calling it “careericide.”
