Everett wants to scrap Olympic Games
RUPERT EVERETT wishes he could cancel London's Olympic Games in 2012 - because he thinks it will turn into "a very expensive disaster" for the capital.
The My Best Friend's Wedding star is dreading the sporting event and fears it will add problems to the already "dysfunctional" city.
He says, "If I was King, I would cancel the Olympics tomorrow. I don't like the Olympics anyway. I don't think they're very sporting and I think London is already dysfunctional enough as it is. I just think it's going to be a disaster, a very expensive disaster."
The comments come after Dame Judi Dench slammed government officials earlier this month (Dec09) for cutting funding for the arts to pay for the upcoming athletics extravaganza.
