It is good and I was glad to hear that is how everyone wanted to do it, be himself. But Elton in those days is possibly the most underrated singer. He could hit highs that only few ever had, he was amazing and Taron isn't on that level. But again, this was by design. I just wanted to say you really can't recreate Elton's voice in that era, if you could, go find your Bernie and make us some new tunes!

[@SimsFreakGaming]

Kicks1981 35 seeing your parents in a miserable state hurts so much. Seeing them happy is like a breath of fresh air and gives you hope that there is such a thing as real happiness.

[@barbarafischbach8480]

Elton is an amazing person.

[@Jorg-ug3ie]

That wasnt just being nice on Eltons part; when your parents are miserable and together, it rubs off on you as a child. Your selfesteem lowers, and you yourself feel like a failure, because you always identify with your parents up to some degree. So when you finally see them happy, you know there's happiness & self love to be found for you too... I know this from my own, and working experience. Other than that, the loyalty of a childfor its parents is deep. And Elton obviously is a loyal child. Bless his heart.

[@roxyl3610]

Barbara, you’re right! Such a class act (and of course an all-around phenomenal, fabulous, deep human being). To have the sincerity to tell your story where people’s imperfections and pain affected you, but also to have the class, grace, and empathy also to focus on their happiness now.... Takes someone special. He’s one of my models of he kind of human I’d like to be. If only I could also get that wardrobe!

[@BlackCat-vg5yx]

I can’t believe that my parents are divorcing, they lived separately for years so it makes it easier for me and my siblings. I had a tough and happy childhood. My dad is like Elton’s dad, he wasn’t loved as a kid hence was very hard for him to show love to my mom and my siblings. I think he loved as much as he could but he wasn’t the warmest and caring father on this planet. Thank God my mom is the complete opposite, full of love and care. I think I came out ok because of my mom. Thnx Mom for not giving up on me ❤️ Also she’s been free of him for about 5 years and she is the happiest since then...can’t believe they are filing for divorce just now.....should have done it 5 years ago. Cause they could have been truly free of each other. I don’t know if he has anyone in his life, but whatever if he does I don’t really mind or care. As long as everyone is happy.

To point out is Elton's job to take notice of the new artists 'cos it's his industry is obvious as he's not quite ready to give it up completely. Yes, Elton's retiring from touring & him transitioning himself to radio & mentoring will KEEP HIM YOUNG AT HEART. However, THIS has NOTHING to do with Rayr's point that Elton knows more 'bout upcoming artist than him, a 21 y/o youth.

Love u Elton glad u got help. Stay strong

[@ShawnaGraham50]

Amazing movie!! I will see it again!! This guy became Elton he even looked like him! Great Great movie!

[@gillianwilson1330]

He nothing like him

[@amandasmith3303]

I have seen it twice in the past week.Its funny,its emotional,its gritty and its flamboyant.Amazing!

[@montanaricci4182]

I am AMAZED that Taron sang all of the songs in that movie! It truly sounded like Elton. I’m blown away by the talent of this brilliant young man.

[@wtfjackaboy]

Can safely say this was one of the best films I have ever watched. Taron's performance was simply perfection and I love both him and Elton so so much.

[@tinathepisces1485]

I LOVE THIS MAN! 🤩 Every time Elton Speaks my heart gets full! Nothing short of a Legend!

[@Alineebastos]

The interviewer’s reaction to the movie was mine. All I wanted was to give Elton a hug.

[@lisafenn8416]

I went to the cinema to see Rocketman yesterday (4th June 2019) and I thought the film was amazing!! I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years time, the film would be made into a show in a London theatre. The singing and dancing was awesome, the music of Elton John was just brilliant!! The actors were amazing too. They played their parts so well. The actor who played Elton, actually sounded a bit like him when he sung the songs. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, definitely recommend to go and see it! The fans will not be disappointed!!

[@Ellietalk81]

I’ve loved him my entire life and now even more so!

[@burstthroughtheconcrete]

Great interview with Elton and Taron. It's especially enjoyable to see someone like Elton embrace not only his back catalog and legacy, but also be mature enough in his older age to embrace and support new artists, instead of actually trying to be 20-something himself all over again. That time has passed. Each generation has their heroes, and he's more respected for understanding that vs. fighting tooth and nail against it. Kudos.

[@EL-pw2ky]

When "your song" started during the movie, I cried like a baby. Like, sobbing. God i love that man.

[@jamiabell7900]

Amazing movie. He really hung in there and is "still standing" and totally sober now. Glad he shared his story

[@osmelyvelasquez9782]

I love how Taron respects so much to Elton and how the connection between them is so explosive... No idea but I feel so connect and emotional with the movie, Taron and Elton. Somebody else feel like that too?

[@InkyPetrel]

"I didn't want someone to be lip-syncing. I'm not taking away from any other movies, but" ... oof. :p HARD side-eye at Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@librtyordeath1214]

InkyPetrel yess!!! I got that, too.

[@samanthavictoria3308]

InkyPetrel at least bohemian rhapsody did it well. There was also bits of Ramis voice mixed into the audio as well as Marc Martels voice

[@freddiemercury4evr]

@@samanthavictoria3308 not to mention you can't compare Freddie's voice with Elton's...Freddie's was insanely unique with huge range and power. I'm sure Elton would agree. Surprised he gave that unnecessary dig.

[@samanthavictoria3308]

val macclinchy yeah me too. Not at all what I would expect from him

[@poor_dumb_snek]

I mean to be fair, Freddie's voice was insanely unique in terms of range, and it's basically impossible to copy, so Rami not singing is perfectly acceptable and understandable.

[@jessiecarlson8492]

I got chills with every song. And I even cried. Not only because of the way the songs were presented but because of my own memories with these songs. They've been played at weddings, proms, funerals in my life. They represent so many milestones for so many people and for one artist to do all that is just...everything.

[@meaganmapson8116]

I saw this movie last night and it was WONDERFUL!!!! It’s so much fun and I love the message!

[@slavayevchenko9272]

Im crying right now man. Elton had a really difficult life. Im so proud of him. So proud of actor's work.

[@BStop22]

0:58+ WOW, just realized how much Taron actually looks like Elton when he was younger!

[@stephenfermoyle1498]

yes he does but better looking

[@OakplaysCGaming965]

@@stephenfermoyle1498 No way

[@SpartanStan156]

is it okay have a feeling that Elton John was like a "godfather" to every young person, who started music career?

[@cindyrose1961]

I’ve been a fan since forever. I’m grateful Elton is still with us.

[@leahkristine]

Elton has been my mom's favorite artist since she was in high school in 1971. She has every album, some on both vinyl and CD. Growing up it was all I really listened to. I learned to dance, sing, got inspired to learn piano, formed my taste in music, all from listening to Elton. I guess I've been a fan since birth lol. Seeing his story on screen was way more emotional for me than I anticipated. It really is a great film about a truly great, legendary man. And I thought it was impossible to become MORE of a fan than I already was..

[@paulrobinson6007]

I cried at least three times while watching this movie .. wow !

[@bettinamauri3602]

Paul Robinson I cried three times too!

[@toddself5838]

Im crying in the interview....

[@TheFriendlyFlower]

Second bio pic that I will watch on repeat!!! I love learning more about these incredible, incredible artists! And Taron Egerton is AMAZING!!! I love that he sang all the music.

[@alanasousa3944]

this movie is just perfect, i've seen it and i'm shook

[@olubukonla7352]

I am shook too. The casting alone was simply incredible!

[@preesi1403]

This is literally the most precious interview Ive ever seen. Taron deeply loves Elton. OMG. Taron is the sweetest . Ive been an Elton fan since I was 5 (1972) and Taron makes the same expressions I do at Elton interviews. Its like hes all of us fans in one!

[@Doctor47341]

Don’t spoil Rocketman for Elton John...

[@fleetu1506]

Hahahah

[@dx.feelgood5825]

@Montravius Daniel Yes. That is the joke

[@reldnahcycart]

Just seen the film just brilliant and Taron did a great job playing him

[@DinGrogu16]

Taron is super talented and absolutely gorgeous. Be still my beating heart! 😍

[@alexisnewell3672]

Taron you excelled in Rocket man ❤you 💫

[@ARCtrooperblueleader]

Elton is one of the last living *true* legends.

[@TheEpicFail79]

I almost started crying during the Your Song scene tbh, it was just so beautiful and Taron performed the song and scene amazingly, and like Taron said - such a great storytelling moment

[@princevalantinojkd]

Elton is just incredible,he has been in my life from childhood like Prince and MJ,what a talent,I'm so glad I have been alive in his lifetime,I hope he lives long because he is the golden glitter of stardust that makes life worth living

[@cupidsiza]

You and me both!❤. What a time to be alive! I was made fun of by my peers cause of my taste in music...look at me now 😍✌

[@georgegriffiths1437]

the way elton has so much respect for all young artists is amazing, he could easily say he’s a legend and not waste time with them but he supports them

[@deniseallen9255]

The movie is absolutely amazing! I cried like a baby!

[@Pip-ti9xp]

SO excited to see “Rocketman” as a huge Elton and Taron fan

[@elcojodelabotella845]

The best part is when he plays "Your song" to his best friend. Their friendship was my favorite part!

[@jeanettesmith765]

After this interview, I love Elton even more.
