I remember you wafting round Ampleforth in an outrageous velvet cape, and also your very affecting Ophelia in the summer play.

lasand asks:
The Happy Prince was one of my favourite books as a child and I still keep my copy. Would you make films of Wilde’s wonderful stories for children?

IvanTiger asks:
Your stage work has been charismatic, I wonder why you never played Hamlet: were you not offered it or did Hollywood beckon?
Guardian contributor
gatz asks:
Reviewers have been unkind to your fiction writing, but Hello, Darling, Are You Working? has one of the great opening sentences. Are you ever tempted to try fiction again?
This is the first line: By the time he was eight he knew he would never be a Great Actress.

I used to have a Richard Allen book called Punk Rock. One of the chaps on the cover looks a lot like a very young you. Wondering if it is or not?

Have you ever considered lobbying Ken Loach for a job to get away from posho roles?

Thank you!

Losmandris asks:
Loved your documentary on the Victorian explorer, Sir Richard Burton. Would you ever be tempted to make a feature film about him?
Guardian contributor He was an amazing character. There is one film about him already.
ID7574431 asks:
Do you still crave exotic foreign adventures? You said in your book it was the sensory experiences of travel that drove you more than your career.

BettyStovesEyes asks:
Some etiquette advice please. I seem to encounter you in a restaurant in London about once every two years. (Given that I live 400 miles from London I’m impressed with this). The next time it happens, and assuming that you’re just out with your chap for something to eat and not “on duty”, would you prefer me a) to recognise and accost you or b) pretend that I don’t know who you are?

Borecore asks:
Was working with Piers Morgan and Alastair Campbell on the Celebrity Apprentice special the lowest point of your personal and professional life? You had to spend at least 7 or 8 hours with them. It must have been hell.

riikkaa asks:
I’ve watched many of your interviews and people always ask you about Colin Firth and Emily Watson. Could you tell us something about the casting of the two young stars, Edwin Thomas and Colin Morgan?
Guardian contributor
Matt08 asks:
The Channel 4 film you made last year was really very good. You took to it really easily and was very natural and warm in what is a serious subject matter. Any plans to do more?
Guardian contributor
idiamin asks:
Della Morte Dell Amore/Cemetery Man (1994) is one of my all-time favourite films. I’d love to know how you ended up playing a zombie-killer in a cult Italian horror comedy (straight after The Madness of King George according to Wikipedia) and any details about making the film. I especially enjoyed your scenes opposite François from french punk band Les Garçons Bouchers.
Guardian contributor It was based on a strip cartoon in which the character was based on me. I loved the film. the director is very clever.

Was that you outside a train station in Palermo in July 2016, wearing rather short shorts and a fetching blouse? We locked eyes, then you disappeared …

Post your questions for Rupert Everett
Rupert Everett has spent more than 10 years getting his Oscar Wilde biopic The Happy Prince off the ground – and it’s finally here, arriving in UK cinemas on 15 June and scheduled for an awards-friendly October release in the US. Everett plays the lead role and makes his directing debut (as well as writing the script). Here is your chance to ask him questions about this – and anything else – in our webchat with him, which takes place at 1300 BST on Monday 4 June.
The Happy Prince focuses on the last few years of Wilde’s life. He was released from Reading prison in 1897 and afterwards led a transient existence in European exile, reuniting briefly with Lord Alfred Douglas. He died of meningitis in 1900 while living alone in a Parisian hotel. Colin Firth plays his longtime friend Reggie Turner, and Merlin’s Colin Morgan plays Douglas. The film has already attracted good reviews at the Toronto and BFI Flare film festivals. Our own Peter Bradshaw called it “a deeply felt, tremendously acted tribute to courage”.
Everett’s earlier films include Brit period dramas such as Another Country and Dance With a Stranger and, from his mid-90s Hollywood period, My Best Friend’s Wedding and Dunston Checks In. His memoirs, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins and Vanished Years, were much praised. And now he’s moving in with his mum.
