[on being a straight man and doing justice to a famous gay character] “It’s no secret that I’m heterosexual. And obviously, it’s a contentious point, me playing this role [Elton John]. I feel very strongly that I was one of the best candidates to do it, because I knew from the offset that it was of paramount importance, that particular element of the character. And whilst I understand the desire to preserve opportunity for members of an underrepresented community — I completely do — I also feel, and I hope you do, having seen [Rocketman] that we made no fucking concessions or compromises on that part of the story.” —Taron Egerton (June 2019)
