Rupert Everett Discusses His Dismissal from Emily in Paris Production
In the world of Hollywood, surprises are commonplace, but the departure of acclaimed actor Rupert Everett from the popular Netflix series Emily in Paris has left many curious.
Everett, known for his roles in films like My Best Friend's Wedding, An Ideal Husband, and The Happy Prince, held out hope for larger prospects in Emily in Paris. However, his character, Giorgio Barbieri, will not return for the upcoming fifth season, as Everett himself stated.
Initially, Everett expressed deep disappointment about being let go from the show without direct communication from the creators. He spent two weeks in bed, unable to shake off the emotional impact, and described feeling abandoned and "fired" from Emily in Paris.
However, Everett later walked back these claims, clarifying that he was never actually fired from the series. He explained that comments attributed to him were a case of lost-in-translation during a conversation with acting students in Italy, delivered in his "shaky Italian."
The conflicting accounts reflect different interpretations between Everett’s emotional response to being dropped and his later official correction explaining a misunderstanding in language and reporting.
According to a source close to the production, Everett was not let go due to any issues with his performance. In fact, he filmed a scene in the latest season, but then was told "Next year we'll speak." No further contact came, leading him to believe he was effectively fired because the showrunners dropped his character.
Despite Everett's clarification, Netflix has not issued an official comment regarding his departure from Emily in Paris. It is unclear why Everett was not contacted by phone when he was let go, or why his character, who only appeared in one episode, was not included in future seasons.
Everett expressed his disappointment about being fired from Emily in Paris at the international film festival Marateale in Maratea, Italy. Despite this, he remains an esteemed actor with a long and successful career, and we look forward to seeing what he will do next.
