Everett 'lost job over facelift shots'

Rupert Everett has admitted that reports suggesting that he underwent plastic surgery have lost him acting work.

The My Best Friend's Wedding actor previously branded claims that said he went under the knife as "laughable".

However, the 50-year-old has revealed that his career has been damaged as a result of the speculation, says Contactmusic.

He said: "Those images went all the way round the world, and at one point I lost a job from a great Australian director because of him seeing the before and after images in a newspaper."

Everett added that he had used Botox injections for wrinkle prevention, but denounced cosmetic surgery for men as a mistake.

"A man shouldn't really have a facelift, because their faces don't deal with it well. But it's not reality, it's a patronising fantasy. I haven't had one," he said.

It was previously reported that the star claimed that being open about his homosexuality had hindered his chances of major Hollywood stardom.
