Taron Egerton, Choice Twink

.

I hadn't realized that four full years had passed since it was announced that Tom Hardy was going to play Elton John in a bio-pic - time flies when you're thinking about Tom Hardy having gay sex on-screen. But I guess too much time flies because Tom isn't doing it anymore! The movie - he might still be having gay sex. Who knows? Anyway Hugh Jackman's favorite muscle-twink Taron Egerton has just jumped on the role, so he's gonna be our Rocketman. Dexter Fletcher, the man who put Taron & Hugh together in the first place by casting them opposite each other in Eddie the Eagle, is going to direct Rocketman. Is there a role for Hugh? Let's just go ahead and make these two the Bogie & Bacall of our time.

And I actually forgot until just as I was about to post this that Taron and Tom Hardy actually have a connection -- Taron played Tom's gay lover in the movie Legend! I mean we didn't really get to see the two go at it - that movie was shyer about its gay stuff than the 1991 movie The Krays, based on the same story, was. But still I like the idea that Elton John probably watched Legend and was like, "Tom hardy can act and all, but what about the younger one...?"
