Rupert Everett, who is openly gay, says he is single because young gay men aren't interested in dating someone older than them. He said, "Unfortunately, I am single, yes, but I'm too exhausted for anything else and being gay is a young man's game." "No one wants me. Being gay or being a woman have one big thing in common, which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one let me tell you." "I could set myself on fire in a gay bar, and people would just light their cigarettes from me," he said. Everett admits he wants to grow old gracefully, but he would like to find a boyfriend first. He added: "I don't want to be carried out of a club wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and a cap on the wrong way around when I am 70, but I would like to settle down a bit, maybe with a partner. In some ways I do feel more settled, but now I want to take part in things."
