Rupert Everett, 67, says he 'ruined' himself chasing the perfect body

Rupert Everett, 67, says he "ruined" himself in pursuit of the chiseled physique that made him a ’90s movie star. He said in an interview published Monday that he is "almost crippled" as a result and recalled a string of box-office hits, most notably "My Best Friend’s Wedding." Everett said he worked out improperly while lifting weights and skipped stretching, adding, "I could never be bothered to do all those things, like stretching, which were necessary for lifting weights, because your tendons get tighter and tighter.

So boring. I didn’t do any of that." He added, "So now my demise will be musculoskeletal, I think." Reflecting on his peak, he said, "I was wonderful-looking at one point. I had muscles. Everything." He called that period "quite short-lived" and "my Hollywood year," and admitted to feeling insecure despite his looks: "Even work was about cruising, really.
