Rupert Everett Then
In 1984, Rupert Everett received a BAFTA for his debut performance as Julian Mitchell in Another Nation. In a 1930s English school, he portrayed an openly gay student. He was known for portraying bad boys, and his smoldering good looks helped him land roles in films in the 1980s and 1990s. With his song, Generation of Loneliness, Everett attempted (unsuccessfully) to transform his celebrity into a music career as a pop star. But it was too late; the audience still saw him as a fantastic performer, and fans ignored his artistic projects. In 1997, for My Best Friend’s Wedding, he received his second BAFTA and his first Golden Globe.
