Colin Firth has ended his feud with Rupert Everett
COLIN Firth co-stars with Rupert Everett in his latest film, a St Trinians remake, but the pair have only recently mended one of showbusiness's longest-lasting feuds.
AS A boy Colin Firth found the wicked St Trinian's schoolgirls in the classic Ealing film series ‘‘sexy and intimidating''.
He hesitates before admitting he feels the same way about the current crop of young actors.
‘‘I think they're all brilliant and
I think they are quite sexy . . . (but) I don't want to say too much in case I sound like a perv,'' he says.
‘‘They're all legal!'' he says quickly.
Firth plays Minister for Education Geoffrey Thwaites in the new British St Trinian's comedy, who is trying to close down the anarchic girls' school.
It's a gloriously un-PC film, which concerns some and delights others. One British reviewer tut-tutted the film was ‘‘aimed at a younger audience and glorifies underage drinking, drug-taking, bomb-making, bullying, cheating, promiscuity, stupidity, verbal abuse, anarchy, vandalism, the use of guns in schools and the sexual objectification of minors.''
It also has some bad points.
‘‘I don't think you could really go and see St Trinian's and come out saying you were disappointed by how naughty they were,'' Firth says.
‘‘Funnily enough, the girls' behaviour is clearly marked in a way and the really bad behaviour is all by the staff and the adults. It's pretty family-friendly naughtiness on the whole.''
St Trinian's was dreamed up just after World War II by cartoonist Ronald Searle, who based it on a real girls' school. The concept became a popular series of films from the Ealing Studios in the 1950s-60s.
‘‘A lot of British people my age have some memory of them,'' Firth says. ‘‘For most people that memory would be a fairly affectionate one, but they weren't masterpieces, none of them. I don't think we're messing with the family silver here.''
The hallmark of the earlier films was Scottish actor Alistair Sim's cross-dressing performance of the school's headmistress, a role reprised in the new film -- the sixth in the series -- by Rupert Everett, who plays her as a caricature of Camilla Parker Bowles.
The film marks something of reconciliation for Firth and Everett, who engaged in a celebrated public feud spanning almost 20 years. Though both appeared in 2002's The Importance of Being Earnest, and apparently got along well enough on set, only a year later hostilities resumed with Firth telling journalists: ‘‘Rupert and I hate each other.''
The trouble started on the set of 1984's Another Country, which marked the feature film debut of both.
Everett publicly branded Firth ‘‘boring'' and classified him as ‘‘a ghastly guitar-playing redbrick socialist who was going to give his first half-million away to charity''.
‘‘We didn't get along very well the first time we worked together,'' Firth says simply. ‘‘I think he was probably terribly threatened because I was an awful lot better than him.''
There is some truth to this because in Everett's 2006 autobiography, the gay actor admits he fancied, and felt threatened by, Firth at the time.
‘‘No, I didn't bring my guitar to set and I didn't own a pair of sandals,'' Firth says. ‘‘(But) in a way I think it was probably a fair cop.
I was rather cautious, I was very suspicious of the business, I was very sort of purist and political.
‘‘He was a great swanning, insufferable kind of diva and if I had been more worldly at the time I would have probably enjoyed that.''
Firth says both have mellowed.
‘‘There's nobody I love more in the business now,'' he says.
There's a nod to the pair's shared history in the film when their characters are introduced by a third party and Everett replies they've already met: ‘‘It was another time,'' he says. Firth adds: ‘‘It was another country''.
In fact the film is packed with in-jokes about Firth's career.
He's tossed into a fountain (a la Bridget Jones's Diary), emerges from a lake with a soaking wet shirt (Pride and Prejudice), he's humped on the leg by a dog called Darcy (Pride and Prejudice and Bridget Jones) and name-checked in relation to Vermeer's painting Girl with a Pearl Earring (he played the painter in the eponymous film).
A particularly dim-witted girl mistakes the painting for a portrait of Scarlett Johansson.
‘‘No wonder Colin Firth wanted to shag her,'' she says.
‘‘I think that line would probably have been a lot funnier if I wasn't in it,'' says Firth, who swears almost all of the gags were written into the script before he signed on.
‘‘A lot of it didn't have anything to do with me at all,'' he says. ‘‘It's pretty hard to convince people now, but this script was pretty fully developed without me and I think without it occurring to anybody that I would have a part in it.
‘‘The only (in-joke) I can think of that was added because of me was the wet shirt. I think we were all a little surprised by how many of these things actually ended up being in there.''
