Taron Egerton: ‘I Had a Period of Feeling I Might Be Gay’
The upcoming biopic Rocketman promises to be an epic musical extravaganza about Sir Elton John‘s life through his formative years. Starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, and Bryce Dallas Howard, Rocketman promises to stay faithful to the legend’s life both in an out of the public eye.
In a recent interview, Egerton, who plays John in the film, revealed some fascinating details about the film’s steamier moments. He even opened up about filming Rocketman‘s love scenes with his co-star, Richard Madden (Bodyguard, Games of Thrones). In the film, Madden portrays John’s first manager, John Reid, who also happened to be his lover.
“I felt Richard’s p***s … on my leg,” he told Attitude. “We shot a scene where we are both naked on a bed, and we are rolling around. I don’t really know how much further we could have gone.”
In the same interview, Egerton also opened up about discovering his sexuality saying, “When I was 14 or 15, I had a period of thinking I might be gay and I spoke to my mother about it.” He continued, “It was part of a period in my life where my mind was figuring things out. You question everything, there are hormones … It was a very real feeling to me, and I was very panicked and upset about how I would be perceived.”
“That is not the same as going through it for real but there is some understanding of what it might be like, and I remember feeling that acutely.”
The star confirmed that he identifies as straight early this year.
