Rupert Everett Sex Shocks Brits

LONDON, UK -- Openly gay Hollywood actor Rupert Everett is in hot water after making "inappropriate" comments about indulging in sexual activity on a live BBC morning show.

Speaking about his youth on BBC One's Breakfast program, Everett recalled visiting provincial cinemas. The 48-year-old Shrek star elaborated about the kind of things that would take place between couples in the back row of the "dark and sexy" theatres.

Horrified hosts Suzanna Reid and Charlie Stayt swiftly steered Everett off the risqué topic, reminding the actor that the interview was going out at 9.09am.

Everett made no further reference to the activities in the course of the interview, during which he promoted his autobiography, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins, and his role as the headmistress in the upcoming modern version of St Trinian's.

A BBC spokesman said that regrettably the BBC had no control over what guests said on air, and that the inclusion of "inappropriate" comments "sometimes happens on live broadcasts".

Everett, the Another Country and My Best Friend's Wedding star, caused another incident on the BBC last September when he cursed on the air during a Radio show.
