Rupert Everett has said he is too old to be gay.
The 47-year-old actor, who is openly homosexual, says he is single because young gay men aren't interested in dating someone older than them.
Everett told Britain's Daily Telegraph magazine: "Unfortunately, I am single, yes, but I'm too exhausted for anything else and being gay is a young man's game.
"Now no one wants me. Being gay and being a woman has 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."
The actor - who has just written his autobiography 'Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins' - 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."

I must be missing something. I am 53 and still turn heads. I guess all of the Education and working hard paid off. People can sense when you are happy with your self.......
I'm 44 and I'd date the bitch!
:)
The guy has a problem - and it's NOT his age. I am a gay 52 year old. I can still pull the young guys - age has nothing to do with it.
Geez ~ I just a 45 year old Police Officer, and I have a 26 year old boyfriend for the past 8 years. Could it be that I'm just lucky ~ I don't think so. This guy should quit crying so much and perhaps he could find a partner
I completely dissagree with Rupert, you just have to know where to go - The GrayGay Guide on GrayGay.com lists over 2500 places worldwide where older gay men and their admirers are welcomed.

He lies. A star of his magnitude would attract interest in any bar, any party. Additionally, the fact that he has always had a coarse variety of good looks suggests he's just looking for media interest, not a boyfriend, and certainly not a lover.
Another issue would be why he is concerned with, it seems, only younger men. Hey, what's a former rent boy to do?
