Rupert Everett has admitted that he has no plans to adopt a child.

The My Best Friend's Wedding actor, who is openly gay, revealed that his experiences as a godparent have made him realise that he is not suited to raising children.

"I love kids. I have 10 godchildren. But I'm not a very good godfather," Everett explained. "I'm not good at remembering birthdays. I don't believe in Father's Day or Mother's Day. I don't even like Christmas - I find it all a bit sick.

"People are emotionally tricked into spending so much money. So I don't think I will adopt. I don't think it's for me."
