Actor Ruper Everett has claimed that reports that he has had cosmetic surgery has damaged his career.

Everett, 50, has admitted to using Botox however claims that he has never had cosmetic surgery.

“Those images went all the way round the world, and at one point I lost a job from a great Australian director because of him seeing the before and after images in a newspaper,” he explained to Contactmusic.

Everett has always denied claims that he has had cosmetic surgery and has previously stated that he feels men shouldn’t go under the knife.

“A man shouldn’t really have a facelift, because their faces don’t deal with it well. But it’s not reality, it’s a patronising fantasy. I haven’t had one.”

A spokesperson for Everett has previously said, “Why would Rupert need any surgery? He’s a beautiful man! Any speculation is completely laughable. He hasn’t had anything done and he doesn’t need it.”
