During a recent interview with MTV promoting his latest film Robin Hood, not gay actor Taron Egerton talked a little about his role as Elton John in the upcoming musical/fantasy biopic Rocketman, and how much he enjoyed filming the movie's gay love scenes.
"I really threw myself into it," Egerton told MTV, revealing that it was his first sex scene for a movie ever. "I filmed my first sex scene for this film. I feel that the movie we’ve shot is absolutely a celebration of everything that Elton John is, and part of that is his sexuality."
He continued:
"I actually think the gay community will be quite surprised by quite how gay it feels. I’ve loved every second of it. I’m not someone who is remotely perturbed by male intimacy. I’m quite proud of what we’ve done in it."
Although a lot of exact details about Rocketman are still unknown to eager fans, we do know that Egerton will be sharing his sex scene with Game of Thrones/Bodyguard star Richard Madden, who plays Elton John's manager John Reid.
