Actor Rupert Everett was fired from the series “Emily in Paris” and, according to him, was absolutely devastated: “I was bedridden for two weeks.”
Actor Rupert Everett was dismissed from “Emily in Paris” and said he was completely devastated to learn he would not be returning for the next season of the series.
The 66-year-old Everett played the Italian fashion designer Giorgio Barbieri in the episode “All Roads Lead to Rome” from the 4th season of the Netflix show, but in an interview with Vanity Fair, the actor revealed his frustration at not reprising the role.
“I did a scene last season and was told, ‘Next year, we’ll talk,’” Everett claimed.
“I waited for them to call, but in the end, they never did and simply fired me. Show business is always very tough, from beginning to end. When they write the script, they think they want you, but then things change and they lose your character. I don’t know why.”
Everett admitted the news was hard to process: “For me, it was a tragedy. I was bedridden for two weeks because I couldn’t get over it,” he confessed.
