Rupert Everett Bashes Jennifer Aniston's "Tasteless" Career

Rupert Everett isn't a fan of The Bounty Hunter. Or The Switch. Or pretty much anything else Jennifer Aniston has starred in.
During an interview with BBC Radio 4, the 51-year-old British actor claimed that no matter how poorly an actor performs at the box office, certain stars will always remain on Hollywood's A-list.

"If you look and analyze the careers of many, many stars, you'll find that they're mostly sustained by the business," Everett argued. "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."
He then used the 41-year-old Just Go With It actress to further illustrate his point.

"OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she's still a member of that club," Everett continued. "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, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula."

But Aniston isn't the only box office draw who Everett is frustrated with: He's got an issue with Oscar-nominated actor Colin Firth too!
"Colin Firth I don't think was at all good in Mamma Mia! I would have thought it was almost a careericide," Everett sniped. "On the other hand, I think his performance in A Single Man was the best performance of his life."
Tell Us What You Think
84Who is Rupert Everett? Jennifer Aniston is beautiful inside and out. I think she is so classy unlike some of the people who say negative things about her. I feel sorry for all the "haters" in life. I think she is a good comedic actress and can't wait to see her with Adam Sandler. I like him too!

she is a big TV actress only
100% agree
he's right about her- soppy, milquetoast movies that are all the same and all a take on her RAchel character. She's a tv actress and can't carry a movie, never could.
Gotta love the Brits for their straightforwardness! lol
Is Mr. Everett a little jealous that Jennifer Aniston is in the tabloid all the time! I agree with him that she isnt a best movie actress but hell neither is he! What has he done other than voicing prince charming in Shrek 2 to make him famous here in America! He is a good stage actor in England just not that good a movie actor! I AGREE WITH HIM THOUGH!
Based on what I seen from afar, gay men sometimes can get a little too emotional on their feelings, and it could bite them in the ass. Although Mr. Everett has the right to express his opinion, but he is way out his league when comes to the star power like Ms. Ainston's, and I do detect a sense of jealousy as well. Advice for Rupert: make some blockbuster movies before criticizing. Just a word of thought.
As usual, Rupert Everett's comments are dead on! Too much empty fluff in Aniston's "career"! That's why I watch films made in the 1930s and 40s!
I guess THIS ass HASnt been in much lately hes gotta PICK on Jennifer. Actors for people who DONT know TAKE JOBS TO keep MONEY COMING I TO PAY BILLS LIKE US! MOST MOVIES DO SUCK! Thats the problem now. You gotta take something, I repeat. Peolpe HAVE TO PAY THEIR bills weither FAMOUS OR NOT!
Jennifer needs to thank Angie, it's only the tabloid attention that keeps her career alive. It's certainly not her talent. Hollywood doesn't care about talent, it only cares about who they can sell and tabloid stars will always get work. EVERYONE in Mama Mia sucked, it was a pit of a movie and even people who can act looked like crap, it was just really, really badly done.
Who anointed that over-the-hill cretin as the arbiter of all things cinematic. He should keep his pie hole shut and spend his efforts on becoming a better person instead of slicing and dicing his peers!
yeah, she sucks so bad.. yet managed to make more money than ANGIE! HAHAHAHA losers, check your facts~
salt sucked and angelina has lost her looks awhile ago.
@ Aurora Hawkins I have every right to my opinion as you do yours. The truth is what it is.
He sounds so bitter and jealous. Why does no one attack jim carrey for doing comedies? why is everyone on jen's case? She is a lovely woman and actress that has proved her acting chops on the good girl. Rupert too has just proven his acting chops on one maybe two occasions, so has Jolie, she's done good movies like a mighty heart but she's done far too many bad movies! I don't watch any of jolies movies because i don't like that stupid pouty look on her face while i can watch bruce almighty, marley and me and friends episodes over and over again! And jennifer certainly does not suck (what a stupid and childish thing to say for someone who earns more money than all of the people commenting here combined!)
@Tricia Didier Norene This is not about Jolie, this is about Aniston and her continuous flops. Angelina carried Salt all by herself this year. How can you compare her to Jen? Why change the subject anyway? Name one movie Jen has ever carried herself (not as a supporting actress) that made money, just one.Of course The Tourist didn't do well so what? Angelina got nominated for a GG for it and what has Jen won or been nominated for. Every actor has their ups and downs, Meryl Streep (Doubt),Kate Winslet (The Reader,)Reese (How do u know)etc so please dont compare Jolie's acting chops to Aniston's. I dont care who Everett is but he is right on the money. Jen sucks!!
woman...
I find it funny that before the Tourist came out you couldn't turn the tv on without a trailer or open a magazine without some ad about the movie and Jolie and Depps chemistry. Now that the movie has sunk you do not see or hear anything about it or them anywhere and US has not commented on the failure of yet another Jolie movie that costs millions of dollars to make and has lost money at the box office. Jens movies have always entertained.That's what I want to pay for not more violence and shoot em ups played by a women who cannot carry a movie...
He's just jealous because she's hot and he's NOT. Jennifer is awesome if you think about it half the movies anyone ever does including Mr. Everett's never make it to the box office. So I say this to Mr. Everett look in the mirror before you bash someone.
