Renowned actor Rupert Everett recently disclosed in an interview with Vanity Fair that he was unexpectedly let go from the popular Netflix series, ‘Emily in Paris.’ The 66-year-old, who portrayed Italian fashion designer Giorgio Barbieri in the season 4 episode titled “All Roads Lead to Rome,” expressed his shock and disappointment at the turn of events. Despite being promised a future role on the show, Everett claimed he was ultimately fired without explanation, leaving him devastated. The actor revealed, “I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn’t get over it.”
According to Everett, the unstable nature of show business played a significant role in his sudden departure from the show. He highlighted the unpredictability of the industry, where initial promises can quickly change, leading to unforeseen circumstances. Netflix, the streaming platform behind ‘Emily in Paris,’ has yet to comment on Everett’s claims or provide clarity on the situation. Sources close to the production suggested that Everett was initially brought on as a guest star, and his character’s storyline had reached its natural conclusion.

Despite his unexpected exit, Everett’s former co-star Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Sylvie Grateau in the series, fondly recalled working with the actor in Rome. She praised Everett’s vibrant personality and shared that their scenes together were particularly enjoyable.

The news of Everett’s departure comes amidst the show’s renewal for a fifth season, exciting fans and viewers alike. Creator Darren Star expressed his enthusiasm for continuing Emily’s adventures in both Rome and Paris, promising unexpected twists and turns in the upcoming season. The decision to expand the storyline to include Rome reflects Star’s creative vision and desire to push the characters into uncharted territory.
