Everett hits out at "tragic" screen stars
Published Tuesday, Dec 18 2007, 10:11 GMT | By Beth Hilton
The actor feels the screen legends are responsible for Hollywood's decline into superficial, celebrity-obsessed "trash".
He said: "De Niro, [Robert] Redford, [Diane] Keaton, [Woody] Allen, Pacino - they're all just tragic parodies of themselves. Al Pacino looks like a mad old freak now. I say give it a rest, or go and do some serious stuff."
He also accused fellow actor George Clooney of being of limited intelligence, saying: "Clooney thinks that, provided he does films which are politically committed, he's allowed to do Ocean's 11, 12 and 13.
"But the Ocean's movies are a cancer to world culture. They're destroying us. He's not the brightest spark on the boulevard. He'll be president one day. Mark my words, if he's straight, he'll be president."
Everett recently claimed that his homosexuality has prevented him from becoming a major Hollywood star.
