A first look at Taron Egerton as musician Elton John for Paramount Pictures’ upcoming biopic, Rocketman, has been released. Check out the full photo in the gallery below of Egerton’s Elton in a sharp outfit lounging on a private plane.
The film will focus on Elton John’s beginnings, starting when he was a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music and carrying over to when he reached global stardom through his influential and enduring musical partnership with his songwriting collaborator Bernie Taupin. It will be a biopic that looks at the performer’s life past the glitter saturated image we have grown so accustomed to associating with the performer.
