Friends in the End

Rupert Everett and Colin Firth had a great time working together on The Importance of Being Earnest, but it wasn't always that way.

"When we first worked together 20 years ago (on Another Country), we didn't get along at all," Rupert says. "He was so dull! It's strange, because now I think he's one of the funniest people I've met."

Firth sighs at even the mention of Everett's name. "We've known each other for so bloody long, we're like an old married couple. Or like a couple of old queens, really," he laughs. "I didn't particularly like Rupert the first time around, but in his defence, I was pretty dull back then. I was terribly earnest."
