TARON Egerton has revealed his naked sex scene with Richard Madden in Rocketman went as "far as it could go".
The two actors pushed the boundaries to film the passionate scenes between Elton John and his former manager John Reid as part of their epic love story.
Welsh hunk Taron told Attitude magazine: "We shot a scene where we are both naked on a bed and we are rolling around. I don’t really know how much further we could have gone.
"In the script, this is the scene of Elton losing his virginity and we wanted to try to do that justice, and also at that point their relationship hasn’t broken down yet.
"They were falling in love and it’s beautiful because it should be.
"We didn’t want to play like they were a couple who were eventually going to fall apart, we wanted to play it like two guys in their early twenties who are falling in love and who are incredibly sexually attracted to each other."
He added: "The rawness of that experience, the fear of that experience, but also the joy of the experience of Elton’s first kiss… it’s electric, it’s exciting, your stomach is doing somersaults.
"I treat it with the same love, care and affection I would as if it was my first experience of falling for somebody."
He also addressed the controversy of a heterosexual actor playing Elton in the biopic.
"It’s easy for me to sit here as a white heterosexual man and say I should be able to play a part I want, but I completely understand why a gay actor would feel that this is an opportunity for which they would be better suited," he said.
"The way I feel about it is that Elton asked me to play him in a movie about his life. I am proud and privileged to be playing this person who happens to be gay.
"And I want to live in a world where people are excited about playing people who are different from themselves, and I believe that there is something inclusive and progressive about that."
