Talking to The Times of London in a profile published on Saturday, September 28, the 65-year-old British actor criticized some of the side effects of the controversial weight loss drug.
“You saw Robbie Williams in that documentary she wore underwear? “He looked weird,” Everett said. “Everyone in Ozempic, their necks look weird.”
Williams, 50, looked back on her years as a pop star in a Netflix spot that aired in 2023. During that time, he confirmed that he lost more than 25 pounds by taking “something like Ozempic.”
Ozempic, Wegovy and similar semaglutides are commonly prescribed to adults with conditions including high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes to help manage weight. Many celebrities have tried such drugs as a way to lose weight quickly, but doctors have warned against their use for normal weight loss.

“I only look in the mirror when I shave and that’s it,” i My Best Friend’s Wedding the actor was featured in the store. “I don’t like to look at myself anymore. I loved you.”
Everett’s weight problems also affect his style. He said to Times that she wanted to wear a tracksuit to her wedding to her longtime partner, Henriqueearlier this year.
“My suits don’t fit anymore,” he explained in the store. “But, I was not allowed [to go casual]. So I put on a suit with my belly out but it’s overflowing.”
Everett went on to talk about her quintessentially English life with her husband, an accountant she first met at the gym, in the profile. They split time between a flat in Holborn and a second place in Wiltshire.
“[In Holborn, we live] in an 18th-century house and it’s beautiful,” Everett marveled. “A Waitrose [grocery store] came to the Brunswick Centre, which changed everything in just a few months.”
The couple settled in Wiltshire to care for the actor’s ailing mother, who suffers from dementia.
“After my father died, I returned to England [from America] and he wanted to stay where he lived but he couldn’t afford it. So we moved but not together. We took it apart,” Everett said The Times. “You live in one place and I live in another. This way, you can keep things moving and ensure that everything is going well. … He doesn’t move much. We eat lunch every day. But it worked really well. He has someone who cares for him and it doesn’t bother him at all to lose his memory.”
