Taron egerton is he gay
So what is up with hot twink Taron Egerton?
Taron Egerton has always felt more “at home” in a same-sex attracted club than at a soccer match.
The actor is perhaps best known for his role as delinquent-turned-spy Gary "Eggsy" Unwin in 2015’s Kingsman: The Covert Service, a part which he reprised in 2017 sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
However, Taron has now divulged that he struggled to get to grips with his personality in the deed series and is much more content in his latest part – playing music icon Elton John in Rocketman.
"I always felt more at home in a gay club than at a football match," he told British GQ magazine. “I’m so anxious to comprehend that what we shot survives the studio system. Because this film feels like me finally going to the world: here I am.”
Taron shot to fame in Matthew Vaughn’s Bond-style operation movie, starring alongside Colin Firth, who portrayed a watcher who takes a joyriding Eggsy off the streets and teaches him the life skills of a super-suave operative.
Yet, there was something about the role which made him feel like “an imposter”.
“Without ever wishing to seem ungrateful for the Kingsman thing… as much as I treasure the films, especially the first, I will a
Rocketman Star Taron Egerton Addresses Vertical Actors Playing Gay Roles
The debate continues over whether it's appropriate for straight actors to act gay roles in movies and TV shows, as this is something that has resulted in online criticism in recent years. Perhaps that's a sign of how quickly things can begin to change in Hollywood, as it wasn't so long ago when Taron Egerton won a Golden Globe Award for doing just that. The actor played openly gay singer Elton John in the acclaimed biopic Rocketman, released by Dexter Fletcher in 2019. In addition to earning big profits at the box office, the movie had also drawn a lot of praise for Egerton in particular with the reviews from critics.
It could be speculated that Egerton may not have been considered for that role if Rocketman were to go into production today, given the scrutiny over unbent actors portraying gay people. In any case, Egerton, who also played a gay character in the West End production of Cock, has shared his thoughts on the matter in a new interview with THR. He says how he's long been a supporter of the Diverse community, but he is prudent about establishing a new "blanket rul
Last month, Instinctreported on a vague social media post by actor Taron Egerton that seemed like a casual coming out moment.
The 29-year-old posted a pic of a friend with the caption, “Cutie. My boy."
When an Instagram user asked if the fellow in the photo was Egerton’s crush, the Kingsman celebrity liked the comment
Another user asked for the guy’s call to which Egerton replied, “Nah, he’s mine and mine only.”
All very coy and upbeat, but it certainly got the interwebs in an uproar as the post garnered over 34,000 likes and comments.

“I’m not gay but two of my mates came out when I was 15 and it was a bliss to support them because, as a group, we are all secure in who we are,” he added. “I’m certainly not going to stop calling my mates cuties and gorgeous, because they are cuties and

The festive clip Carry-On, starring Taron Egerton as Ethan Kopek, a TSA agent blackmailed by a mysterious traveller (played by Jason Bateman), has just landed on Netflix. Egerton, famed for his roles in the Kingsman films and his portrayal of Elton John in Rocketman, was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra in this new venture.
Egerton revealed to Netflix: "When Jaume first approached me about the role, I told him I didn't want to do something that felt like an archetypal activity hero. Luckily, neither of us thought that's what was exciting or fascinating about Ethan.
"What we kept our eyes on was making sure that we made him feel as relatable and as normal as possible... whatever normal is in the exceptional situation he's in."
The 35-year-old actor from Wales began his career in stage plays before gaining fame as Eggsy in the Kingsman series.
He has two younger half-sisters and although born in England, he identifies as Welsh. His parents divorced when he was two years ancient and he moved with his mother to Anglesey, a Welsh island
