The photo?<\/a> A young man<\/a> with Egerton\u2019s caption: \u201cCutie. My boy<\/a>\u00a0\u201d And when one commenter wrote, \u201cdoes that mean he\u2019s got a boyfriend now,\u201d Egerton \u2018liked\u2019 the comment.<\/p>\n Said Egerton to Radio Times<\/a>: \u201cOne of the lads was at my London flat and I Insta-grammed a picture of him and said, \u201cLook at this cutie\u201d, and a million outlets reported I was coming out as gay<\/a>. I\u2019m not gay<\/a> but two of my mates came out when I was 15 and it was a joy to support them because, as a group, we are all secure in who we are\u2026I\u2019m certainly not going to stop calling my mates cuties and gorgeous, because they are cuties and they are gorgeous.\u201d<\/p>\n Egerton also commented on Kevin Spacey, with whom he worked on Billionaire Boys Club: \u201cHe was never inappropriate with me. There\u2019s a fine line, though, between someone being an audacious flirt and being predatory? I thought he was the former. It\u2019s sad his professional demise threw a shadow over our film.\u201d<\/p>\n Egerton recently sat down with Jimmy Kimmel and spoke a bit about playing Elton John.\u00a0According to\u00a0Variety<\/em><\/a>, the film \u201d will include John\u2019s emergence as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music to becoming a music superstar and his partnership with songwriting collaborator Bernie Taupin.\u201d Egerton stars (and sings) with Jamie Bell as Bernie Taupin, and Richard Madden as Elton\u2019s longtime manager and lover John Reid.<\/p>\n He said when he met Elton the rock icon told him: \u201cYou know, if I was five years younger, it\u2019d be me you\u2019d be marrying now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Taron Egerton: \u2018I\u2019m Not Gay\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad Gay News<\/a>.<\/p>\n
