Here’s a mid-week pick-me-up. Rocketman is officially a critical and commercial hit. To celebrate: a video of the biopic’s stars (including Taron Egerton, Richard Madden and Jamie Bell) undressing completely in earlier roles. Thanks for this wonderful NSFW compilation, Mr. Man!
On a side note:
When David Fincher was auditioning actresses for his underwhelming The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo remake, he said Scarlett Johansson was “too sexy” for the role of Lisbeth Salander, griping that as soon as you look at Scarlett Johansson, you “want her to take her clothes off.” In this context, I don’t think that’s sexist, and it makes sense. She’s sultry AF.
My point is: I basically feel this way about Richard Madden. Taron is so adorbz, too–but there’s something about Richard Madden that makes it really hard to not undress him with my eyes the moment I look at him. Just– WOOF. Geez. Smolder me until I diiiiieee.
Ok, I’ve calmed down a bit. While I go decompress and stare at the Insta pics below, please follow this totally NSFW link to see the Rocketman cast take all their clothes off.
