Depending on the way you feel about the polarizing and outspoken actor that may or may not come as a surprise, but it certainly made us do a double-take when he made the pronouncement in his latest interview with The Guardian.
While reflecting on his prior sexual shenanigans, Everett explains: "That was all years ago," he says. "It's not how I'd approach a city now. Sex has passed me by. It's over! I've spent most of my adult life, since the age of 10, thinking almost exclusively about sex, and getting it, or recovering from it. But it's all smoke and mirrors to me now."
He is not celibate; in fact, he's happily settled with a long-term boyfriend. "Sex isn't really over. I'm just not motivated by it any more, and I used to be motivated by it purely. I think that happens to a man; it's part of a midlife crisis. But it's been quite nice, in a way, because I do lots of other things instead. Since it stopped, that major driving force, I've felt much calmer."
