TOM HARDY IS ELTON JOHN
Meanwhile, the latest news say that Tom Hardy has taken the lead role in ROCKETMAN, the biographical movie about Elton John! It was previously revealed that Elton John has imagined his biopic in MOULIN ROUGE movie style, with visual splendour and tones of his greatest hits which he will be rerecording for this occasion. Hardy is an extremely versatile actor, and it will be interesting to see how he switches from his upcoming MAD MAX role to playing a gay singer of tender love songs with extremely eccentric fashion style. Justin Timberlake was the previous candidate for the role and he even played Elton in one of his videos.
