Taron Egerton guides us through the Crocodile Rock scene in Rocketman | British GQ

I was just about to write that. You could see by the end of it he was trying to hold back some tears. There's only one smile in the world that serves that purpose and that's what it looks like. Beautiful moment to watch. A beautiful person to watch.

He rejected to star in an x-man movie, just so he could play Eddie in "Eddie The Eagle". Some said that it was a mistake, but look where it brought him. He plays Elton John in a film that i'm sure will receive several oscar nominations and wins. Talk about taking one step back to come ten steps forward! What a Legend!

Omg soo true, it’s so strange how fate can play - to have a courage to say no to seemingly good opportunity . To go for the lesser project with heart and to win in the end. Mind blowing . I’m so glad he didn’t end up in dying franchise, he is too talented

As a 40 plus year fan of Elton John, I can honestly say that Taron knocked it out of the park!! Outstanding performance, very talented singer and actor, and a very believable personality and persona of Elton John. All Taron did was made me a much bigger fan of his and he re-introduced me to how I grew up respecting Elton John and how much I love his music. The moment I saw this movie in the theater, I knew Elton John was proud of Taron for this amazing work of art!

I love that when he's watching it back, you can see that he's kinda subtly replaying parts of the scene on his face, like what his reactions and facial expressions were at the time, but ever so slightly. Idk, it's just one of those human things that I think is really cool.

[@cmielnicc1929]

It's been said Taron is VERY dedicated to his craft and an absolute professional, needing silence on the soundstage while filming. You can see him going over every scene in his mind in this clip. Taron has said that in school he hated Math but loved English, which is evident in every interview he's done. So freakin well spoken and intelligent, he's an interviewer's DREAM! ✨

[@klimop6474]

It makes me really sad to see Taron so sad in a interview which is unlike his usual interviews which he seems to have fun with. He just looks so emotionally drained. I can’t tell if he’s just really tired and just not having the best day or he’s being very critical of himself. Which he shouldn’t be as many other people state in the comments. Even around 7 to 8 minutes in the video where you see these little smiles pop in, he’s just not holding them. It breaks my heart to see him so upset.

[@jazzaiyana]

Bernie's joy is this scene is one of my favorite parts of the movie.

[@bb22602]

My favorite part of the scene is Elton's entrance. Have you ever had to enter a place that you are not sure you should be in? Time slows down, sound is distorted - then you reach your goal and everything snaps into place. And that is what happened to Elton - he found his place in the world and the rest is history.
