While celebrating the Oscars, Taron Egerton performed Tiny Dancer with the legendary Elton John.
The Kingsman actor is starring as Sir Elton John in the upcoming biopic, Rocketman. At Elton’s annual AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, the pair put on an incredible performance of the popular Elton hit. The singer even surprised the audience when he harmonized with Taron for the song’s iconic chorus.
Before launching into a remarkable performance, Egerton charmingly smiled: “It’s funny how life turns out it isn’t it?”

The upcoming biopic will cover the life of Sir Elton John, including his romantic life. Richard Madden will be playing Elton’s lover, John Reid. Tom Egerton has revealed that he has recently filmed some pretty steamy scenes for the movie.
“I really threw myself into it, I filmed my first sex scene for this film and it’s with quite a well-known man,” Egerton recently told MTV.
“I do feel the movie we shot is absolutely a celebration of everything that Elton John is and part of that is his sexuality,” he elaborated. “I actually think the gay community will be quite surprised by quite how gay it feels. I’ve loved every second of it.”
Rocketman will be released in cinemas May 17.
