CANNES, France - Actor Taron Egerton said on Friday he’d developed a close friendship with Elton John while preparing for the biopic “Rocketman”, adding to the emotion after a glittering premiere where few of its stellar attendees were left dried-eyed.
“I’m very proud to call him a friend. He is the kindest, most interesting, warm man. That has made it feel very important to me,” Egerton told a news conference on the French Riviera, choking up at moments. The movie, which is not competing for awards at the cinema showcase, veers into traditional Hollywood musical territory. It mixes in elements of fantasy, as the hitmaker floats above the stage during a frenetic concert or descends into a drugged-fueled haze surrounded by a writhing dance troupe.
