Actor Rupert Everett has revealed that Madonna was not impressed with the book he wrote.

The 50-year-old starred in the movie The Next Best Thing with the singer but she was not happy with his memoir Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins.

He told UK newspaper The Observer: “She really didn’t like it. I think it is very affectionate, and certainly with her I was very careful to only write things that were. But she felt it was an infringement of privacy.”

He added: “But goddesses like that are obsessed with their public image and want to control everything about it, so if anyone is to tell anyone anything about her, it’s got to be her.”
