Taron Egerton on Friendship with Elton John & Playing Him in Rocketman
• Taron Egerton on Frien... - Комедії
2016 - Taron sang "I'm still standing" in Sing
2017 - Taron saved Elton in Kingsman
2019 - Taron became Elton
This is some mindblown stuff.
Don’t forget he sang an Elton song to get into Drama school
Fate's a tricky thing
Woooooooooooooow
YEAHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's quite amazingly freaky haha Manifest!!!❤
Am I crazy or are British actors always far more genuine on talk shows
Michelle Caudle your crazy.
They just appear that way, as most US talk shows are anything but genuine.
They seem more genuine because the British are generally better actors.
@@rejachemno No wonder superhero films and even Nolan are casting a lot of British actors
You’re just crazy but that’s alright.
If Rami Malek won an Oscar just by lip syncing I think Taron deserves one because he actually sang.
Rami won because he gave an amazing performance, Egerton most likely will get nominated but I doubt he'll win.
Singing has nothing to with it. When Taron gets the Oscar it will be for his phenomenal performance Acting. Not singing. It’s not the Grammys/Tony’s.
Well, you’re wrong. Rami actually did some for the singing. In post they synced his singing voice with Freddie’s.
MrSurfer432 very true. I think they meant he didn’t go to a studio to record, but he did sing live. It was just edited out later. C8
@@MrSurfer432 nope not true, when not taken from the actual album tracks, most of the singing in Bohemian Rhapsody relies on isolated master tracks of Mercury's voice from his studio recordings, mashed together with Canadian Christian rock singer Marc Martel, whose ability to copy Mercury's voice is so uncanny you really just have to hear it for yourself.
I immediately started crying when his child self asked his adult self “when are you going to hug me?” 😭❤️
Eliza Jeffers Same! Such a powerful scene.
That was so emotional, beautiful scene and the thread that runs through the story
DUDE SAME I WAS LIKE 😫🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😩🤧😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞💞
I'd misheard it each time as "help me" which was much, much heavier emotionally.
Sweet, but very sad😢🎹🚀
I'm glad tarons career seems to be steadily moving up. I've loved him since the first Kingsman film and I'd love to see where he goes in the future!
Me, too. I was waiting for him to finally properly take off, and it seems to be happening now. Well deserved!
I was literally about to comment the smae thing!!
Well, he was good as eggsy in the 1st movie, everything after that was mweh
Same! Love him
Onlt thing moving on is his hair line hahaha
Who would think that Eggsy from Kingsman would play as Elton John after starting in Kingsman 2 together😁
and he sang "im still standing" in the movie sing
True wow. Didn’t see that haha
At first thought, I was extremely skeptical...but once I saw the trailer, I was convinced he was born to play this role.
I honestly wouldnt be surprised if elton john actually requested taron egerton to star in rocketman
@@classtilton871 he literally did lmao it's not a coincidence
For the Blu-ray, they should have Taron's uncle doing commentary.
too much bleeps
good one bro xDDD
"Welsh Man Reacts to Rocketman". I'd watch that on UA-cam.
I’m 👏🏾 here 👏🏾 for 👏🏾 it 👏🏾
Elton definitely has the sense of humor to allow that. I mean, he did a cameo for both South Park and Kingsman 2
Taron Egerton talking about hitting the baseball is gonna be the new Rami Malek talking about how they shot live aid on the first day
Fankalala omg 😂😂 it’s my mission to try and turn it into that
Hey dude. Did you know they filmed Live Aid on day one?
Stormsmustfade that’s hecking rad mate, but did you know I hit the baseball every single time
Vickie Kyriakis THANK YOU YOURE RIGHT
Fankalala IT IS LMAO 😂
Wow I’m hopelessly in love with Taron
why not me?
@@sasukeuchiha8801 Because you're a hopeless loser asking strangers why don't they love you instead.
Same
Pauline Tran u will find ur taron one day
Mike Pantaleo ty I hope so 😅😍
That’s very sweet that Elton is going out of his way to be so supportive of Taron. Says a lot about his character as a man.
Elton has made it his lifes mission to help those stay clear of the issues he dealt with.... look up RDJ and how elton saved him.
@@andyh6849 I think Elton sees that Taron is "special" and doesnt want him to lose that.
By "special" I mean that Taron appears to have all his emotions wide open, and has no bigotry and is unjaded.
Honestly I worry about Taron a lot, hes precious and magical and I worry that he will get Jaded or something bad with happen and he will close shut
@@preesi1403 I was in the same school as him, only a few years above..and used to go to the same amateur drama classes/football etc... I wouldn't worry about him.. he's just a normal lad lol..
@@andyh6849 My opinion is based on many articles and YT interviews. There is something magical about him and its not just me that says it.
I could see Taron playing the role of James Bond.
Already did...sort of
He’s already played a Secret agent in a franchise so he wouldn’t in case of being type casted
R.I.P the original James Bond actor
See kingsman
Kingsman to James Bond
It amazes me how he seems to make such real friendships with all his coworkers. He seems like such a great guy.
He said when he first met Richard Madden he thought Richard disliked him. Richard is just a bit more reserved initially.
Taron is so calm, cool and collected in the best way. I imagine he would be fun to hang out with.
Ikr the way he tells stories is so lovely
no one:
not a single person:
taron egerton: i hit that ball every SINGLE time. NO CGI WAS USED. after that i couldn’t hit the ball anymore, i guess i was channeling elton.
Gaby Cruz no one:
not a single person:
Rami Malek: Live Aid was shot on Day One
BAHAHA DUDE
I’m getting déjà vu from rami: “wE sHoT liVe aId oN dAy oNe
@@brianorozco1074 MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
Kinda like
Nobody ever:
Mena Massoud: I GREW UP IN AN EGYPTIAN HOUSEHOLD!
I remember seeing Elton John, on stage while he was, dressed as a Duck, in Seattle in 1985, while I was seven months pregnant..
karen knapp, why were you dressed like a duck and I don't remember Elton ever being pregnant?!
Ohhhhh... Silly me.
That's wild
Ironic that he sang I'm Still Standing for Rocketman three years after he sang it on Sing.
FKalo. I forgot that he was Johnny in song!!!!
@@azy8733 Yeah, it was really great!!
You mean three years ago, not three years after.
Morgan Morey no, sing came out first
ella loser Oh omg I just realized what I wrote so sorry I think I wrote this like at 11 pm lol
If Taron doesn’t win his Oscar for this movie then there is truly something wrong with Hollywood.
Joaquin Phoenix will win.
Rami malek won over Bradley cooper. There is DEFINITELY something wrong with hollywood.
This year was just too competitive
Update: there IS something incredibly wrong with Hollywood 😡 I know this was Joaquin's year but Taron deserved a damn nomination
BadKitty and they didn't win costume! I'm still so mad. Bad karma came to the world when that happened is all I'm saying. Such a good movie can't believe the oscars
This film deserves as much, if not more, praise than Bohemian rhapsody, it was amazing
Basket Case it’s debatable
@@Movypro23 No, it isn't. "Rocketman" was an incredible tribute to Elton John and captured the spirit of him and his music beautifully. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was homophobic revisionism that treated Freddie Mercury and his life with an indescribable contempt that its audience should be ashamed of supporting.
Basket Case basket case you really are a basket case I'm still standing
Will C you obviously haven’t watched the movie then
N N I think Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t great but Will C is way overreacting, saying that Bohemian is homophobic is just idiotic. I’m pretty sure he just thinks he’s smart because he uses big fancy words when talking about films he doesn’t like.
Rocketman was amazing & Taron deserves at least an Oscar nom for his performance
Sahil Makhijani that would be nice
He deserves the win. What is with people saying he just deserves a nomination. Like no, if Rami somehow managed to win then Taron should win by a landslide.
Jenna Wallace biggest thing is going to be.... who is he competing against... there have been many years when two people could have easily won an oscar if they were nominated the year before sadly...
Taron is a fantastic actor. It must be hard to portray such a diverse character like Elton John, yet he did it incredibly well. Great film, from an amazing actor about one of the greatest music duos of all time!!
Taron Edgerton and Tom Holland should play brothers!
Hell yes
Or Harry Osborn (American accent obviously)
Nora G Jamie Bell and tom Holland should play brothers, they look a bit longer
Both look a bit similar lol
*Egerton (sorry i had to)
Taron is such a beautiful guy inside and out, loved him in Eddie the eagle and he is phenomenal in Rocketman, he didn’t just act the part he became Elton John, he definitely deserves an Oscar for that performance.
I think it says a lot about Taron that people like Elton John and Hugh Jackman can sing his praises and also remain friends with him. He's just a sweet guy.
I'm so in love with this charming young man, his talent is out of this world, he's so gentle, cute and kind. Saw rocketman yesterday and I was BLOWN AWAY by his talent. Great things are coming for him, I wish him a beautiful career. Bless his heart he's such a darling
the “i actually hit that baseball it wasnt cgi” is going to become the new “live aid was shot day one” and “i didnt know perm stood for permanent”
his accent gets so much more welsh when he's talking about his family
Ah Aberystwyth Commodore Cinema, the definition of small town cinemas. Single screen, an intermission for snacks, everyone knows the staff. Bloody great. Not a bad place to call home
Wales is a lovely country. The actress who played Judith in Monty Python's Life of Brian was mayoress of Aberystwyth who got the film screened there.
SO HUMBLE!!! Fell in love with his acting and personality watching the first Kingsman...so amazing!!! I hope he has a long career ahead!!!
I love the way he talks, by the way he is a REALLY good singer
Thats not his real accent. He has a very raw welsh accent (one of the better British accents thats not conventionally known globally.)
ali Salim why would he be doing a fake accent?
@J W I love Aberystwyth (or Wales in general) so much... I actually met Taron there in April.
@J W Yes, he was in Aber in april. So lucky that this happened during my stay here.
@J W I totally get it why he would come back. Aber is such a wonderful place, even though I've only been here for 5 months it really feels like a second home and I am so sad that I have to leave... Have you ever been to Aber?
A four minute standing ovation is well deserved. It's a wonderful, `devastating' movie.
I really love his attitude and humor👍
Taron Egerton and Tom Holland are my favorite actors.
They both went to the London Academy of Arts
And Richard Madden... I would love a dinner party with all of them, maybe clubbing after
Mine are Joe Mazzello, Jack Dylan Grazer, Tom Holland, Rami Malek and Taron
Sameeee
Sorry to hear that.
I believe he got the role because of his perfect cover of "Still Standing" on the animated movie Sing!
Eggsy, Robin Hood and Elton John should teem up
Moses Salmon you forgot Johnny from sing
@@2008akir I mean eggsy and Elton already have
I just want Freddie Mercury and Elton John to come together to defeat Thanos.
How would that work?
Eddie the eagle. Underrated one
I hope my friends talk about me the way taron talks about Elton
I saw this movie seven days ago and I haven’t shut up about it. It’s honestly, literally, the best film I’ve EVER seen.
Taron is such a lad.
Not really he’s not wearing Stone Island drinking beer and listening to Stone Roses so
@@jneal21 so true lmao, just get a can of dark fruits
idk idk I’d rather av a dark fruits than a wife
@@jneal21 fair point mate
this guy looks like josh hutcherson and tom holland at the same time lol
Hiram LMAO!
This GUY?! He's been in plenty of massive films....and you don't even know his name? 😩 Kingsman 1 and 2, Sing, Eddie the Eagle, Now Rocketman.
@@liamevans9135 He was, but he was too old by that time for the role. So they moved on.
You just opened my eyes
And better than both 🥰
the captioner didn't understand Taron when he said "Aberystwyth" at 5:00 . It said [INAUDIBLE] lol!! 😂
I have been to that town. It’s a beautiful seaside town.
he seems to be such a simple, humble and talented human being... eggsy, eddie the eagle, elton john... amazing actor!
Someone: *RoCkEtMaN IsNt A gOoD mOvIe*
Me: *So We gonna stand around here all day, or are we going to fight?*
Snap out of it, Ted.
I haven't watched Rocketman yet because I can't stream it, don't have money to buy it and I don't want to stream it illegally
@@Gabbibella use zoechip thts wht i used to wtch it :)
The_sims_3_ Mainiac it is available to stream for free now in Amazon Prime Video (if you’re a member). Just saw it and it’s good. I didn’t know Taron can sing.
He absolutely nails him, all the way down to the gap in his top teeth.
The gap in his teeth was put in post-production....he doesn't have one and couldn't speak properly with false teeth so the gap was drawn in
Kate Harpham the gap was painted on Taron’s teeth by the make up department using special
paint, it was mentioned in an interview that Taron and Dexter did
@@joannesockett5072 Lol....I thought I just said that but maybe not.....
Kate Harpham. Sorry I must have misunderstood, thought you said it was added post production. From what I understand Taron’s teeth were painted
@@3sistersrwe On his teeth with some sort of waterproof makeup artist paint. You're right about the prosthetic though, was a no go
I saw the movie last night. It’s brilliant. Absolutely blown away by his performance. I adore the camaraderie between Taron and Elton. It’s beautiful.
Taron talking is so good.. Amazing! ❤
This guy is sharp. And deflected jimmys questions with enthusiasm! Love this dude
I went last night in glasgow scotland , i cried like a baby
I'm lucky enough to be from UK and it's already out, I can tell the scene they showed, chilling moments directly before it
Great interview. He gave an entertaining answer to every question he was asked. I'm so glad Taron talked about hitting the baseball during the Rocket Man song in the movie. After seeing it, I wondered how many takes they had to do for that. Loved the movie.
He sang I'm Still Standing in Sing and now he's playing Elton John. Taron is amazing 💗
Oh he’s from Aberystwyth! That’s so cool, I’m applying for uni there
i’m obsessed with his voice
SO HOT!!! And Rocketman is amazing, he deserves an Oscar nomination for the role.
Agreed
Benny and the Jets is my favorite Elton John song.
Walt F. I think my favorite ones have to be ‘Rocketman’ and ‘Your Song’
When I first heard ‘Philadelphia Freedom’ I was very obsessed with it, but now I started to lose interest in that song
Been in love with Taron for so long. He is such a sexy man. 🤷♂️😘😍
M.C. Clap-yo-handZ Amen
No homo. He good looking.
Taron's so down to earth and charming. Brilliant as Eggsy, and Eddie The Eagle, and no doubt brilliant as Elton John. We don't talk about Robin Hood.
His acting in Robin Hood wasn't bad and I liked his commitment to archery (he does most of it himself including the acrobatic archery), unfortunately the film's plot and direction were garbage.
I love this actor. I think he did an amazing job playing Elton John and he’s going to be my new favorite actor for some time now!
This guy deserves an Oscar for this role.
Taron is so genuine and gorgeous and AH how does he exist
I saw the movie today, it is absolutely amazing! I will go again this weekend. Taron deserves an oscar for sure
He’s so well spoken.
That's because the Welsh speak better and more articulate English than most people in England.
Congratulations on all the success, Taron. Thank you for honoring our beloved icon in such a wonderful fashion.
I need to see this movie. Seems like they didn't shy away from his dark periode. I like that. Keep it raw.
The reason Elton cried at the end of the movie is that Taron is just such an incredible actor. Same with Eddie he cried as well. ❤❤
I want to see my little boy!
(Clicks on this video)
*Here he comes!*
Nyah M. Glass this is fantastic
Oh my god!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!
Just saw the movie and he definitely gave a killer performance, if nothing better comes out in the next 6 months he might win an Oscar
I'm used to British accents but Taron next to Kimmel is just such a beautiful contrast
I thought I heard someone shouting in the commodore in Aberystwyth!
Taron Egerton have hypnotizing voice random
So the picture yesterday, give that man an Oscar!! Beautiful film beautiful performance
I'm so in in love with him..he's such amazing actor and so gorgeous.
Omg when he yells it's so scary.
I’ve meet Taron a few times walking out and about walking around Aberystwyth, I’m proud of my little home town!
I love the amount of famous people that have come out of Ceredigion!
Taron was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! The movie is a sure Oscar winner hands down and I applaud the amazing cast and crew on a job well done!! Congratulations!!!
Weirdest sequel plot for The Rocketeer I could possible imagine.
I get that reference
I watched the movie last night and it brought me to tears, Taron should get ALL the awards for that performance!
Eggsy is going undercover to protect the real Elton John
Yes, so that he never gets kidnapped again
I had the privilege to watch "Rocketman" in Amazon Prime Video. I am so happy Taron won Golden Globes, well deserved.... and I believe he should won the Oscars too... at least nominated!!! OMG. Taron is very good.
Best Actor Oscar. Hands down. Just give it to him now.
Saw the film last night and loved it. Never heard of Taron before so Iooked him up and I'm impressed. So charming.
Finally just watched this movie and it was incredible and so unexpected in so many wonderful ways. Taron... at times you can see he was truly gone and only the character remained. I can’t wait to re-watch this.
“Did you worry that it wouldn’t grow back?”
“EVERY....... SINGLE......DAY.”
You deserve all the applause, you are talented and your performance is incredible thank you so much from France 🤗💕
I really love Taron! & Rocketman was such a good movie! He really embodied that role.
I like the way he talks
I absolutely LOVED the movie and love Taron, I was smiling throughout this whole interview because he seems so genuine
Taron is one of my favs
He is elton johns favorite rent boy
@@user-fm3xr9yz3i You sound bitter that you aren't. You should see if Bryan Singer is hiring.
Great interview, heard Taron in interviews a few times, a very eloquent and articulate man who comes across humble and unassuming.
I cannot wait to see this. I have my tickets for Friday.
It deserved a four-minute standing ovation!
I loved Rocketman and he did a great job on acting as Elton. I didn't know that the movie was rated R and I'm a kid lol, it was a good movie though
Elton lives in the village where I kept my horse for 30 years.
Didn’t see him at the pub once!!
(Humungous gates and fences, very grand house!)
What a wonderful interview! Taron has a great voice and I look forward to his future endeavors.
taron teaches me new words every time i watch one of his interviews
just watch the file today. So amazing that Taron carried out Elton role in his way. So anticipated George Michael's Biopic.
"Its the same title every time -- 'And another one' " 😂😂😂
i am so entertained with taron's witty and funny responses and jimmy so well with his questions as usual love this.
His interviews are so fun!
Go see this movie! It's so good. I've seen it twice already and I'm ready for #3
MORBIDbEAUTY87 today's going to be number 3 for me bro
Saw the movie today...Taron was PHENOMENAL!!! “And the Oscar for BEST ACTOR goes to...”. 🤗👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤗
Bella Ventimiglia ever Warren from Elton John and Bernie taupin this man Taryn wouldn't be maybe he wouldn't be such a good actor or you people wanting him to win an Oscar don't forget about Elton and Bernie
when i first watched rocketman i cried probably 30 minutes into it. i absolutely love this movie!
Wow he sung in it as well, he acted really well and danced perfectly....Super talented actor, I don't like musicals but that scene where he plays at the club and everyone starts going antigravity/surreal truly was a special metaphor for those transcendent moments in music...
