Rupert Everett reflects on Madonna rom-com ‘The Next Best Thing’: “Every time that comes on, I look the other way”
Madonna sold a lot of videos. But the film itself didn’t work, even though for a long time, it was the only film that dealt with this issue that was actually then happening and being born…I think it’s very difficult for her to be in films because everyone has such a preconception.
I don’t know how she could ever be good enough to make people say, ‘Oh God, that’s really good.’I think it was great having her in the film.
I think she was touching in the film, too, myself. I haven’t seen it for ages, though. I mean, every time that comes on, I kind of look the other way.Friendships and failure in Hollywood are very difficult things to keep going.It’s Madonna’s birthday weekend, so let’s revisit her well-intentioned, yet ill-advised gay-straight romance, shall we?Don't forget to share:.
