John and Furnish soon realized they’d struck gold with Egerton.
But how was Egerton able to pull this off?
After receiving pointers from the actors and their support, Egerton transformed himself into the rock star.
Egerton’s confidence in “Rocketman’s recreations of John’s outfits certainly did just that.
The actor wasn’t “interested” in lip-syncing (viaCollider), and neither did the rock star.
For Egerton, reading John’s journals helped him get into the musician’s headspace.
“It’s sort of like being transported back in time,” the actor toldPeople.
“To see the ink that he wrote these songs in … was just incredible.”
“He has a real duality to him,” the actor said.
I think that’s something we share.”
“I’ve never felt so devoted to something over such a protracted period of time.”
