Rupert Everett Says He Became A ‘Slut’ In Reaction To Catholic Upbringing

It’s long been a comic stereotype that a lot of strippers went to Catholic school, but it seem that it can turn the boys into sex maniacs too! Rupert Everett has been chatting to the Sunday Telegraph and told them that his Roman Catholic upbringing turned him into a ‘slut’ whose entire life was about sex.

Everett says that in his younger days, “I was a slut. I loved sex.”

He was then asked if was just sex he was into or if it was a reaction to his Catholic childhood, he replied, “Both. You were told [at school] that if you got a hard-on, you should turn over and say a Hail Mary. You somehow make it work for yourself, but it gives you lots of bubbles inside. I wanted to tear everything down, and the way I found to do it was sex.”

“They didn’t necessarily have to be attractive. It depends how the lights are hitting you and how the drinks are hitting you. My whole life was about sex, really, in one sense or another.”

Everett is never one to mince his words, having told the Sunday Times last September that, ‘I can’t think of anything worse than being brought up by two gay dads’, and has previously spoken about being reticent about gay marriage, especially in a church.
