❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇👅👣👑

A few questions that I have noticed that nobody is asking Taron is which scene was the hardest to in mindset to shoot? And was there a part of the story line or a scene that made him gasp in shock, disbelief, or sorrow knowing that Elton John actually experienced it? It could be either an exciting moment or a terrible one.
Oh to heck with a z in the king red this is about Elton John in Rocket Man I said eggs e not easy eggs eggs why
Why do you never interview Richard Madden? Not even during Eternals press.
Taron went from voicing a character in "Sing" singing a Elton John song, to meeting Elton in Kingsman to actually playing Elton.
Thank you I was thinking how do I know his voice
k
And he auditioned for drama school with one of his songs
@@arshaddahlan your song :)
@@jaydandanes5887 yup. Such an incredible story
I love how he’s so proud of himself for hitting that baseball 😂
Every interview xd I love him
I was hit one and let me tell you that was me for a week after😂
he's chuffed!!
It's the new "We filmed Live Aid on day one"
he polished up that handle so carefully, that now he is the ruler of the queen's navy!
Finally an interviewer that understands the celebrities he interviews don’t want to be asked the same, boring questions. They want to feel relaxed and be asked interesting questions. Ali Plumb has got to be the best interviewer ever!! 👏👏👏
Him and Marc Fennell
Sean Evans from "First We Feast" is amazing as well
BBC fits us
Rob C I was going to mention Sean too. He is the best.
So stop watching Entertainment Tonight then.....
I always love this interviewer. Everyone always seems comfortable with him, & he establishes a good back & forth without it seeming forced or uncomfortable like some others I’ve seen
Ur cute
couldn't agree more. He's relaxed, the stars are relaxed, and he always has some good questions instead of just the standard stuff every interviewer asks.
Maggie Slater well stated.
Best interviewer there is.. .
yes! i noticed that as well
I hope Taron doesn’t change as a person. This interview confirms how awesome he is.
GrotrianSeiler Same cause he is so incredible and seems nice
@@lunatic5162 why, what happened?
@@Lab-Gr0wn-Lambs WHAT HAPPENED
@@lunatic5162 what happened
@@lunatic5162 whyyyy
Literally Elton and taron look like father and son
Joeslactadepills OwO grandma and grandson*
True
Elton himself said that Taron was born to play him.
Right, 'cause one's old and one's young. I totally see it.
He looks like Elton when he was younger if you look at photos of them together. Taron is the reincarnated Elton.
Elton John is the grandma everyone wants.
Yes. All the yes.
Laggy look you homophobe Elton is a man he cannot be a grandma
Eileen Ryan 1st of all, homophobic is when you don’t like gay people, and I almost all my friends are gay or lesbian or non-binary. 2nd of all it’s a damn metaphor, I know Elton is a man but people say that he is like a grandma everyone wants. 3rd of all. Shut the hell up!
@@eileenryan6750 I bet the joke had fun while it went flying over your head.
@@eileenryan6750 are you fucking stupid? 😂
I hope this gets him the Oscar, he deserves it, he is very talented, AND...he sings himself!!!!!
Hopefully
And lupitia n'yango for best actress ,although i know it's not gonna happen just like toni colette
AND he's beautiful!
Yay a comment that doesn’t just applaud the interviewer.
At least a nomination would be enough.
“He’s a blokey bloke” most British thing ever
I feel like 'I hit that baseball' is going to be the 'We shot Live Aid on day one' of the movie
Bronwyn J. McCartney yes!😂
I understand that reference
hahaha rami legit said that in every interview for bo rhap!!
Rami- "We ShOt LiVe AiD oN dAy OnE"
Every interviewer- "WOWWWW REALLYYYY?!"
@@retronerd7832 joe, ben and gwilym: 😐
I love the part where he's zonked out and then they put a bat in his hand and he forces a huge smile as he walks on stage. It's very telling of the kind of mask one wears as an entertainer vs. behind closed doors, and I really feel for him in that scene.
Right out of ALL THAT JAZZ, as Director Fletcher has explained. Brilliant!
"Behind that mask you use" ~Elton John, I'm Still Standing
In real life he was in the hospital having his stomachs pumped after taking an overdose on pills 2 days before that performance. You'd never have any idea watching the video of Elton from that day. He seemed so happy and full of life. Obviously hes very good at his job and putting on an act.
This film makes you laugh cry and want to give Elton a big big hug, no wounder her cried watching this movie. Its a miracle he's still with us and I hope he realises he's a National treasure!
in my opinion, they found the right guy to play Elton John's role, besides, Taron is a good actor and he's not going to disappoint anybody, i'm dying to watch Rocketman
I've seen it it's really worth watching
Its so fucking worth it, im watching it again this friday
@Gea Pelope thank you
I saw it yesterday. It's definitely 100% absolutely worth seeing. Taron is brilliant as Elton. You'll have Elton's songs in your head for days after too.
@@matthewdonovan1240 i think so
Ali Plumb should teach a master's class in interviewing celebrities. Always a great pleasure watching him connect with these stars. Bravo!
Absolutely brilliant interviewer!
Quite agree! Some seem to ask boring or predictable questions or try to be "funny". Or even worse go off pieste and ask about personal stuff.
am i the only one that keeps noticing how attractive taron is like damn
😍
emma it was pretty obvious since 1st kingsman movie
literally tho 🥵
Yessss
was so sleep deprived the other day and was crying about how hot he is lmao
*Marriage Scene* "If I was 5 years younger it would be me your marrying" ~Elton John to Taron Egerton
Firstname Lastname Elton john is the epitome of a dirty old man. 😂
Thank you.. i was having a hard time understanding what he was saying...❤️
His accent is music to my ears, seriously
Love all U.K. accents
@@claudiax233 stereotyping is not ok
Ninthuya Sivarajah Wasn't trying to be stereotypical, was just stating I also love the accent(s). Sorry if I came across that way.
@@claudiax233 I doubt you love Liverpool or Geordie accents for example tough Just saying.
@@ninthusiva7546 that's not a stereotype
“I would miss it like a great big TURKEY” omg lmao
This guy deserves the Oscar for Best Actor - why hasn’t he been nominated?!
I-Am-Batman WE HAVE TO RIOT NOW
Taron seems so absolutely lovely. You can really tell how appreciative he is of the opportunity he was given, and how big of a success this film was. He’s so humble and genuine, and he’s able to laugh at all of the awkward stuff.
Speaking of awkward stuff, I love how he talks about the sex scene with Richard Madden. There’s no hesitation when it’s brought up. He’s so proud to have been a part of that scene, and so is Richard. It’s a big step for cinema.
Rocketman is definitely one of my favourite movies ever. I really hope it gets recognition at the Academy Awards.
Tom Holland is amazing . I’ll now...
8:51 that shot of him putting on the smile as he swings the baseball bat is one of my favourite moments
Sonny Etchell me too! Sexy ....😛
I love how it always makes me feel like my heart break. but ya I agree it's hot 😂
Sonny Etchell it was but the scene before was heartbreaking
Yep same
Like Taron said, when it was time to perform it was like putting on a mask and diving into it. I think that scene showed that best.
I don’t know why, but knowing that Taron actually hit that baseball restores my faith in humanity.
And, it's SO sweet that Taron is so PROUD that he hit it!
This film is spectacular...Taron put 1000% of his mind, body & soul into it. He is gorgeous & gifted, and the heat coming off the screen is enough to power a small country! The music, the acting, the clothes, the pain, the joy, the suffering...what a movie. He will deserve all of the accolades he's bound to receive. I did not want it to end!
Totally agree. I saw it yesterday and it's absolutely fantastic. Definitely deserves all the awards it's bound to be nominated for and Taron definitely deserves every award and accolade he'll get. I can't wait to see this film again. It's bound to be a bit on TV too.
❤ really enjoyed the documentry last night and learnt a lot about Elton John .
Ali will have a big show one day, he has a Graham Norton thing
He makes his guests feel at home and he's funny and his research is thorough
Totally agree! Love both of them too :-)
Both Ali and Graham are sooooo much better at interviewing celebrities than the idiots who do it in America. Both of these gentlemen have pretty decent followings in the states:)
Elton and Taron look like father and son
@PatronSaintOfTroll like chicken?
Yes
Taron Egerton should win the Oscar next year !!!
Rakshith Vishwanath he better
Yeahhh
And Elton John and David furnish should win Oscars for producing it
Rakshith Vishwanath also Elton John and Bernie taupin should women ask us cuz they wrote the music
Joaquin is gonna win it over him
I love how Taron and Ali just act like they are old friends
Tom Holland should portray Taron Egerton in a biopic. He literally looks like a younger version of him.
True ! Didn’t notice it ! Tom Holland would be perfect !
I totally agree, they just radiate the same energy lmao
OR. Jamie Bell. Tom could redo the whole movie as younger versions of themselves. Yup. Am quite happy with myself now...
OMIGOSH YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!
lol... what? i'm sorry, tom holland seems like a really nice guy and i even tried looking up pictures of him to see if i could see it but... idk a way to say this nicely... he has NONE of taron's classic good looks? like, they look NOTHING alike and this is 100% wishful thinking lmao
I can not wait to watch Rocketman! the tag line "based on a true fantasy" could not be more fitting.
exactly
Wait til you encounter Younger Elton. Appears at rather pivotal times.
I hope you got to see it! It’s absolutely excellent!
@@jacquelinewarner-smith1770 I actually did! and then it truly was excellent so I saw it again....and again. really love this movie and its music.
The kids that played Reggie were great too but not mentioned
Second kid yes, I didnt really care for the young young Reggie but that's cuz I thought his voice was annoying.
@@CherryBlossom3x3The younger one looks astonishingly like Elton at that age.
@@maridepp53 sooo true
They're all so talented and wonderful! The music and acting is award winning! God bless all of you.
the teen reggie did get mentioned but don’t forget the parents might have not been able to get them to interviews and they are pretty young to be fair
"it's a little bit funny, this feeling insiiiide"
This song warms my heart
"How wonderful life is..
When you're in the world."
Yet ironic that his mother didn’t seem interested, but his grandma was impressed in that scene.
Taron killed it. I saw it today and it was fantastic.
Taron is amazing. Elton John is a legend. Match made in Hollywood heaven.
Funny how that rhymed
always didn’t notice that till now 😂
You could literally say something so rude to Taron and he’s say ‘thank-you’ because he’s the most polite, chivalrous and sweetest person ever.
It gives me faith that chivalry isn’t dead.
Truly one of the best films I've ever seen, and Taron did such a wonderful job
Talyia Hildebrand You went to the premiere?
Brian Orozco I didn’t, I saw it on Wednesday :)
Talyia Hildebrand Kingsman?
Brian Orozco saw them when they came out but didn’t go to the premieres
I agree! Just seen it and it is one of the best films I have ever seen!
it's funny that he was worried about singing rock because he has the perfect voice for it. he sounded SO good in saturday night's alright for fighting
I gotta say, having followed Taron’s career the past several years, it’s not just obvious at this stage he’s truly destined for longevity and great things ahead, but he also seems like a lovely, amiable, down-to-Earth guy. A rare trait in this day and age. 💎
Ali Plumb you never fail have the greatest interviews, even with stars who have been doing lengthy press junkets repeating the same pitch for the film, you always have the best questions and attention to detail getting the most out of them when you sit down with them. 👌
This just proves how much of a phenomenal actor he truly is.
Taron is just gorgeous
Absolutely agree
Taron looks so much like Elton, its almost as if they're related in a way
They don't look AT ALL alike. Taron is handsome in a classic way; Elton is average looking (though he is SUPREMELY talented.)
“There’s a particular moment in this film, where I wish I were you.”
“Ok”
I’m very proud of my four year old self because there’s a picture of me at that age where I’m wearing heart shaped sunglasses with hair the same length and shade as early 70’s Elton. I didn’t even know who he was then. I was just iconic.
I saw Elton in a private showing at a small venue several years back. He wore an orangey pink suit. I sat through the set and fought back tears the entire show. He is simply the best and his music was the soundtrack of my childhood.
The lows were very low and the highs were very high is like the perfect line to describe my struggles with Bipolar and addiction.
I absolutely love this interviewer he also makes everyone feel comfortable and has actual original questions. You can tell that him and taron just hitting it off n its not awkward
Ali and Taron interviews are my absolute favorite interviews of all time
I love Taron Egerton. He was a great choice for Elton and he’s a great actor and singer.
i love interviewers like this when it's not about who their dating or why they did stuff and it's actually asking them about their work
can we just appreciate how down to earth taron is
Handsome and talented, I never knew he could go from Kingsman to this
Ali is an incredible interviewer, it's what makes this video and interview so interesting. He clearly knows what he's doing
Children are now born with Elton’s music in their DNA
Sharon Jensen that’s so cool
I loved bohemian rhapsody and remi malik did such a great job portraying Freddie mercury even it's just doing his best with what he was given but this could be by far better because you can actually see they didn't make up things as they went along you don't have to question what's true or not it's all there and Elton was there which was cool.
DJJ I thought it was ten times better.
Bohemian Rapsody was a better film and if you don't think Rocketman stretched the truth and made things up you are an ignorant fool lmao. Such a dumbass! !
No hate to you at all, but I have to do this... it's rami
BR was trash. ‘Rocketman’ blows it out of the water.
I think comparing the two films is a but unfair because they're totally different films with just the same base genre. _Bohemian Rhapsody_ is a biopic, yes, but it's a film about the music. _Rocketman_ on the other hand fits the classification of a musical mixed with a biopic. The approaches are totally different from each other, so is the editing style and directing. They are both great films but comparing them to each other isn't right. That's like comparing _Deadpool_ to _Shazam_ or _Harry Potter_ to _Magisterium_. They may have a similar genre placing but they take totally different approaches and need to be viewed very differently from each other.
Super hyped for Rocketman! Elton John is a legend!
You know it's a musical? I was hyped for it until I found that out. I can't bring myself to watch a musical. It's like trying to watch Jeremy Kyle or Piers Morgan.
@@veemacks7255 Musical or not, I can't wait to see "Rocketman". I love musicals but it'll be better than a musical .... it's about Sir Elton John!!!!!!!!
@Al Al But "BR" wasn't a musical. It was a biography with performance (recreation) clips. This EJ thing is a proper musical I believe, like Grease. I almost puke even typing this thinking about it.
Honestly, I love Taron and Elton’s relationship😭♥️♥️ I live for it
I love how he said Benny and the Jets was the most challenging song to learn but I absolutely love it, I don’t know why but he makes that song sooo sexy 😂😍😍❤️
its because his vocals specifically in bennie and the jets are aggressive and sharp. it has impressive range.
He is handsome, he looks sweet, he is humble, he can sing!!!! I love his voice even when he speaks.... I love this actor!
What a nice polite young man!
He did a marvelous job, the transformation was amazing and everytime I saw him I saw Elton
Taron is absolutely lovely. What a humble and kind person for such talent.
I'm obsessed with this movie, probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. Great movie!! Can't wait to buy it on BluRay. Rocketman will make a great addition to my collection of musicals!😏
I'm obsessed, too!
BluRay has TONS of extras & deleted scenes.
1:34 yes! Not CGI.... 1:39 YES!! He really hit that baseball.
This is one of the 2 best interviews that I’ve seen of Taron talking about Rocketman. But this is the most interesting. Fantastic interviewer. Taron is articulated and nice guy.
I can’t get over how great this movie was! I did a 15 page term paper on Elton John and I learned so much. They really portrayed such a great visual of his life that many people did not know. Elton deserves his story to be told ❤️
The denim jacket was my favourite item from the film as well. I enjoyed finding out at the end that that jacket was a replica of an actual 70s outfit. I'm glad to know that Taron felt a sense of attachment to that jacket too. Maybe, someone will put similar jackets in the shops. Now, that would be a good idea!
That was also my favorite outfit! That, and the Hermes shoes
Taron is so polite and friendly! I LOVE IT!!!!!! :)
1:35 HOME RUN FOR TARON EGERTON!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I didn't realize until I saw the movie that I knew all the lyrics to everyone of them. That was cool. I cried.
You know what’s funny? In Sing he did Elton Johns song I’m Still Standing now he’s playing as Elton John....if that’s not destiny then what is❤️❤️
He was absolutely amazing as Elton John. This was one of the better performances I’ve watched in a long time. He made me a little sexually attracted to Elton John, never thought that would happen.
I am amazed at how brilliant this young man is .Taron brilliant
That was the nicest interview I've ever seen
Such a great film. I could easily go & see it again :)
Gary C and I am...but this time in Dolby
Lucky Taron! He’s such a sweetheart!
Taron is such a gentleman :) He speaks so well and is so lovely to the interviewer. Example of a good man.
I thought of Mozart a few times while watching Rocketman, but never more than when 'Elton' appeared in the bird suit. That was Papageno in The Magic Flute.
Just hand him the Oscar already
Love how he came to Aberystwyth after filming this to have lunch with his mum in the Glen. What a grounded, lovely guy. Loved the film
I like how he says he was worried bout the rock songs but the three he listed were his best in the movie
I could listen to him talking for hours
I’ve watched rocketman many many times it's a great movie. It's now my go to film to feel good. Absolutely Amazing love Sir Elton John always have and Taron completely nailed it.
That denim jacket outfit was probably my favorite outfit
This man did a wonderful job playing elton john.
Taron Egerton was simply marvelous in Rocketman. I really appreciate the work to become a copy of my favorite hero, Elton John. I will be watching Taron for upcoming movies and will make sure to go back and catch The Kingsman movies again.
Taron and Jamie: terrific job, you two. I love you both. (And, Robb, King of the North. I love you, too.)
I love this interviewer so much, he’s not pushy and just chill. Give him a raise I tell you.
I love Taron Egerton so much. He smashed it as Elton John xx 😘
Best interviewer I've ever seen as well as, Mr. Egerton. My goodness. So well done gentlemen!
Taron is a little sweetheart....xx
I think Elton/Taron wears the same pair of glasses in two separate scenes ONCE in the entire movie.
I love Taron... he speaks with a passion about his acting and btw this role suits him so well oml
They’re both so nice “it’s always good to see you”
The denim jacket he is talking about is so badass...even I want it💓💓💓
You guys have the best interviews. You know your subject, you ask questions that no one else does and you can see the interviewees are really enjoying themselves. Amazing!
Genuinely the best interviewer
Taron is soooooo cute!
Was not EVEN nominated! Those Hollywod TURKEYS!
Such a genuine cool superstar. He could be Hugh Jackman’s brother same sense of fun
Amazing performance by Taron Egerton.
I love watching Ali interviewing Taron.
Excellent actor, played the part perfectly! As a 48 year fan of Elton John, I was concerned, however, he was excellent and did Elton proud.
