Egerton was profiled this week in\u00a0<\/a>The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em>\u00a0where he talked about preparing for the film by reading Elton\u2019s old diaries at the icon\u2019s estate, and spoke about how the singer\u2019s receding hairline and front gap tooth were recreated.<\/p>\n He talked as well about the gay<\/a> sex<\/a> scenes in the film, and playing a gay<\/a> man<\/a>.<\/p>\n Said Egerton<\/a>: \u201cFor me, kissing a man<\/a> onscreen is no less appealing than kissing a woman<\/a> onscreen. I\u2019m not in any way repulsed by the male<\/a> form. It\u2019s an uncomfortable thing regardless of who you\u2019re with \u2014 it makes no difference as to your sexual preference.\u201d<\/p>\n Added Egerton, of straight actors playing gay<\/a> roles: \u201cI have spoken to gay<\/a> people for whom it\u2019s not a problem, and I\u2019ve spoken to gay<\/a> people for whom it is a problem. I completely understand. But for my part, I\u2019m an actor, and I did not get into acting to just play people like me. You have to draw the line somewhere, and I don\u2019t want to live<\/a> in a world where straight people play straight people and gay<\/a> people play gay<\/a> people.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Taron Egerton and Richard Madden Share a Cup of Sexual Attraction in New \u2018Rocketman\u2019 Clip: WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad Gay News<\/a>.<\/p>\n
