Rupert Everett<\/a> has dozens of film and TV credits under his belt, not to mention a handful of Golden Globe and Olivier Award nominations. But none of that mattered when he was written off Emily In Paris. \u201cFor me, it was a tragedy,\u201d the My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding actor said in a recent interview with Vanity Fair<\/a>. \u201cI was in bed for two weeks because I couldn\u2019t get over it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t seem like he\u2019s joking. In his view, he was \u201cfired\u201d from the Netflix series, in which he appeared in one season four episode as interior designer Giorgio Barbieri. \u201cI did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, \u2018Next year we\u2019ll speak,’\u201d he recalled. \u201cI waited for them to call me\u2014but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me. Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you\u2014but then things change, and they lose your character. I don\u2019t know why.\u201d<\/p>\n

VF notes that a source close to the production contests Everett\u2019s framing. They say that the actor was hired as a guest star, and his character\u2019s arc simply reached its natural conclusion. That being said, this isn\u2019t the first time Emily In Paris has engendered an extremely strong emotional response from someone involved. Last year, Lucas Bravo (Gabriel) went on a rampage against the show<\/a>, telling IndieWire<\/a> that it was \u201cnot fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much\u2026 being slowly turned into guacamole.\u201d (Other great turns of phrase from that rant include the show\u2019s stagnancy being compared to \u201ca lot of souffles\u201d and a lot of grousing about how the actor \u201creally grew apart\u201d from the \u201csexy chef\u201d that was \u201cvery much part of me in Season 1.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Even French president Emmanuel Macron<\/a> couldn\u2019t resist the pull of Emily In Paris madness. \u201cEmily In Paris in Rome doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d he told Variety<\/a> when the show deigned to leave his beloved city. \u201cWe will fight hard. And we will ask them to remain in Paris!\u201d At least Everett can wade through this tragedy in good company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
