WEHT Taron Egerton

He was very good in the Kingsman: Secret Service movies

I haven’t seen him in anything else. But he was very charismatic in those movies (and very cute!)

He peaked with Rocketman. Hasn’t had much luck since.

He was nominated for an Emmy, BAFTA, SAG and Golden Globe last year for Blackbird.

He has a Netflix thriller coming up and another Apple TV drama.

His career is doing just fine.

I like him. Cute.

Mole. Career limiting.

Is he in a throuple with Rami Malek? ;)

R8 that's a cute throuple.

Not sure where he's been, but I want to see more of him.

Love his shirt r8.

Naked.

He does not seem to be having fun r11.

He was smoking hot in Black Bird. God damn.

Sexy and talented.

Since Taron skipped off Instagram Edward Holcroft has posted him a few times.

Gayface at R8?

He was so obviously drooling over Jackman in those memes. Poor boy was dickmatized.

He says he's "too messy" to play James Bond.

He's too short to play Bond, and he knows it. He took himself out of consideration because it will never happen and he doesn;t want to come across as someone who wanted that role and didn't get it (like Rupert Everett 20 years ago).

He's absolutely gorgeous, and the camera loves him. But he's a little short (at 5'9") to play an A-list superhero (other than Spider-Man, but he's too old for that part now), and with that muscular body and that jawline he's pretty much stuck with playing jocks and superheroes. He would be a great choice to replace Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, but he will mostly have to play B-list superheroes, I'm afraid.

There is no such thing as “too gay.”

Taron isn't gay.

^ sure...

By name I get him confused with Ansel Elgort.

I haven't seen either's films.

This is the little homosexual boy they want to play Bond?!

It’s WHET.

He's so sexy

He looks just like a young Elton John!

r27 Elton wishes he was ever that cute

Your boy is lovely, Hubbell.

Maybe his name was off-putting to the masses? It's never a good idea to keep an "egg" in your name. I mean, just look at Nicole Eggert's career.

He’s in Smoke on AppleTV which is streaming currently.

Apparently, they are considering Tom Holland for Bond. He’s quite short.

R32, an under-30 Bond sounds idiotic and unrealistic in today's times.

My eyes are green, my hair is auburn, and my dress is vivid red!

I just came here for the “mole alert” that came early in the thread!

[quote]By name I get him confused with Ansel Elgort.

I didn't realize these were different people either.

Total cutie pie—but he seems to be falling into the character actor category instead of the leading man one

I watched two episodes of Smoke. I'm surprised he's only 35. He looks early 40s in that show. Kind of plain, imo.

R3 Black Bird is a 2022 movie and the nominations were 2023. It is 2025. Time marches on.

series, not movie

He should just come out already.

I'd still like to know why he suddenly left the play "Cock" (opposite Jonathan Bailey) in London a couple of years ago. But everyone seems to have taken a vow of silence.

R9 "that's a cute throuple"

R9 You may want to check your glasses prescription

He works constantly, OP.

He seems to be doing great in Smoke. He got really lean and ripped a while back, for those Kingsman movies, and I think the low body fat might be aging. (How Matt Bomer has done it, I don't know. Aging portrait somewhere?)

His hair is rapidly leaving his head. He was on the Today show, his body was hot even in the jumper he was wearing.

Are they lovers?

[quote] His hair is rapidly leaving his head. He was on the Today show, his body was hot even in the jumper he was wearing.

Yup.

Receding faster than the shoreline before a tsunami!

He's continuing to get A-/B+ type projects with other name actors so I guess he's doing fine.

I doubt he's suddenly going to spring into A+ superstardom but he'll have a dependable steady career as a lead in smaller things and supporting in bigger things. Apparently, he's a nice guy and a talented actor so unless he fucks up or decides to do something else, he'll have a lifetime career as an actor.

He was totally smitten with Hugh when they did promo on the movie. Not that I can blame Taron.

I bet they had wonderful sex in many a hotel room after doing their joint interviews.

I'll bet it was that old HAG Deborra Lee Furness, who put a stop to it.

Taron had some serious "come fuck me" eyes directed at Hugh at R22.

Poor Taron will never be able to escape these gifs.

"You're my hero."

Taron can't take his eyes off Hugh.

He lost hair thanks to the roids he used to get back in shape after Rocketman.

Or, he just lost hair because he's getting older...like many men in their 30s.

He's so damn sexy

He fell hard for Jackman. Got dumped. That story has been around DL for years.

r58 "That story has been around DL for years."

Which means it was completely made up

Yes. None of the gossip on DL has ever been true.

Taron thought it was the real deal. Sad. Not the biggest Eggerton fan but he didn't deserve how badly he was treated during the breakup. Now neither one has a decent movie career.

Wolverine vs Deadpool was one of the biggest hits of last year...

r51 "Not the biggest Eggerton fan but he didn't deserve how badly he was treated during the breakup."

Oh lord, very creative imagination!

Currently watching him in Smoke....which is not good.

Smoke is a wild show - and like a lot of Dennis Lehane stuff, I still can’t decide if it’s any good or not. It’s definitely entertaining. And Egerton is REALLY serving ham in it, but he is playing a crazy secret arsonist, so I guess that tracks. At first his performance was annoying, but after the reveal that he’s a secret psycho, it’s growing on me. Leguizamo is also chewing the scenery like crazy. Greg Kinnear is really good and understated in it though, per usual.

Smoke started well then got dull but the last few episodes have been better. It probably should have been a six episode series and not nine. I’m not really sure I buy Egerton in the role, though. One scene early on where his mask slips while talking to his wife and stepson felt awfully cartoonish. I imagine another actor might have brought a little more nuance to the role.

He bulked up for his new movie She Rides Shotgun

Butching it up nicely.

The hairloss could be from the steroid use. You can see he has chest acne in some shots, a indicator of roids. He needs a better trainer. HGH/tren would pack on the muscle faster and be less obvious. Tren and Clen would get him shredded. Sure it would rev up his heart to 300 bpm but hey that's show biz!.

He’s a cutie. Great body. Great jawline.

But I watched about 20 minutes of Smoke and couldn’t be bothered to continue.

I saw the TSA movie he did for netflix. It was okay but I would not have paid for for it.

R64 R65 R66 The actor on Smoke whose name I can neither spell nor pronounce is mesmerizing and steals the show. He plays the second arsonist who works at the chicken restaurant. His scenes are bone-chilling and elevate the material. He’s the MVP of the series, IMO.

Damn, Hugh Jackman pounded the hell out of his tight ass.

Hugh had Taron during his best Twink years.

I wonder who's banging him now?

[quote] Wolverine vs Deadpool was one of the biggest hits of last year...

I said CAREER.. Without the Wolverine costume all Hugh Jackman churns out is garbage and box office duds. And some very expensive ones at that.

Egerton was peak beauty in the first Kingsman movie. I recently saw him in an old episode of Inspector Lewis, it was only the second or third thing he’d done. It was from 2012 I think, so he was around 22. Was adorable in that too, but very skinny.

He's actually my movie star crush. He was in a big Netflix movie, with Jason Bateman, who was my teenage crush.

R74 I love debunking stupid broad statements!

The Greatest Showman.....huge hit.

Les Misérables....huge hit.

The Prestige and Prisoners....both modest hits but also critically acclaimed.

Happy Feet...animated voice role, but...they count!! Huge hit.

He's had a respectable career in film.

Funny, R72. I think that guy is giving a terrible performance. Every scene is him with his mouth agape, speaking in this raspy drawl that is the worst stereotype of "poor black man in a movie."

I think he’s been great in Smoke. The series started off slow, but the last 2-3 episodes released have been excellent. He’s definitely wearing a wig, which is distracting.

Side note, he was recently in Sydney filming something. My friend was out for his birthday and late at night ran into Tarron at a bar. He was with a couple of ladies and was really friendly. / accommodating of my friend (who was drunk / high), so full points for that encounter.

Jackman is also selling out in Broadway. He is very much A-list. He could probably make Marvel movies the rest of his life and be set.

[bold] Reminiscence: Hugh Jackman thriller becomes one of the biggest box office flops in history [/bold]......wow.

Front Runner.....FLOP..

Flushed Away------flushed a ton of money down the toilet...

Every actor has flops.

What's your stupid point?

If their hits outweigh their flops, they have a career.

Unless you're a woman.

He’s purdy.

R83

Taron flopped

Did anyone see the Smoke finale? I really wonder which was Egerton's real hair and which was the wig.

Not bad, not bad at all.

I very much liked the Tetris movie on Apple TV+ that is not at all what people assume it might be.

I enjoy a short bottom guy. I like to call them Sit & Spins.

Wow.. you're so clever R89. Did you come up with that all by yourself?

He's 5'9. That's only short if you're living in the Netherlands.

r91 Speak for yourself tiny.
