Hugely successful actor and writer Rupert Everett follows up his acclaimed first volume of memoirs with a second, Vanished Years. There are lots of amazing new encounters and stories from the celebrity circuit and beyond. Everett tells of a hilarious but deeply moving pilgrimage to Lourdes with his father, and of a step into reality TV that goes badly wrong. The first memoir, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins, was hailed as a classic, with Everett compared to Evelyn Waugh, David Niven, Noel Coward and Lord Byron. This second was the Sunday Times’s Memoir of the Year.

Everett rose to fame in the film Another Country in 1984 and has since gone on to star in many others including The Madness of King George III; My Best Friend’s Wedding; Shrek II and Shrek III; Shakespeare in Love and St Trinian’s. Here he talks to author and broadcaster Paul Blezard.
