Taron Egerton opens up about what he learned about Elton John from playing him in Rocketman
, he got to know the rock star, now 72, quite well — and learned a few surprising things about him along the way.
“There’s a lovely quality of vulnerability that he has,” says Egerton, who was recently nominated for a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his portrayal of John. “Sometimes, even now, he can be uncertain of himself, even with all of that massive success and all of those accolades, all that universal acclaim.”
He adds, “It’s a weird kind of duality. He can be incredibly kind of gregarious and confident, but in the same instant he can also seem very vulnerable and shy.” Egerton says that back when he was auditioning for the role, John’s opinion was the only one that mattered. The good news was, John — who had already been a fan of Egerton’s — gave his blessing soon after he heard him singing.“He knew I could sing, but he hadn’t heard me,” says the Welsh star, who first rose to fame in 2014’s, just two years after graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.
The two went to Abbey Road studios to try out a few songs, and as Egerton says, “It was off to the races from there.”
