BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IN ROCKETMAN

Bryce Dallas Howard has every reason to look happy. She was one of the most surprising elements of the movie Rocketman. We almost didn’t recognize Bryce – she played Elton John’s mother when he was a kid and also years later when he became a successful rockstar. Her English accent was perfect and her floozyish character portrayal unforgettable. This should open a lot of acting doors for her AND make her dad Ron Howard very proud…

Elton John Movies Rocketman

ROCKETMAN REVEALS ELTON JOHN TO BE AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING, BUT SEE IT ANYWAY

Through the years we enjoyed a few of Elton John’s songs, but never thought about him one way or the other. Elton was known to be litigious and never seemed to have much of a sense of humor about himself. But Rocketman changed everything. The movie is totally fun and very entertaining – obviously destined to become a Broadway musical. But we can never look at Elton the same way again – he was revealed to be a person of such despicable character. Despite his monumental success, he blamed his parents for his chronic unhappiness and through the years was ill-tempered, shockingly self indulgent in every way, with a total disregard for others, and little or no gratitude. Yet he whined incessantly that he couldn’t find love! Finally, Elton couldn’t stop patting himself on the back for joining AA! We exited Rocketman with a very negative opinion of Elton John – ironically, he admitted it was accurate.

Elton John Rocketman Tom Hardy

PICTURE TOM HARDY IN ELTON JOHN’S PANTS

Guess who surprised everyone by turning up early at the American Film Market in Santa Monica? Elton John and Tom Hardy, the actor who’s is portraying him in the film biography Rocketman. The unlikely pair were promoting their movie, which starts filming next year. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hardy is getting in the mood to play the iconic singer by wearing his clothes! Yes, he’s been checking out and trying out some of Elton favorite outfits. Do you suppose it’s possible they wear the SAME SIZE?

Casting Elton John Rocketman Tom Hardy

ELTON JOHN CHOSE TOM HARDY TO STAR IN HIS LIFE STORY

The mystery is solved. We were STAGGERED when we heard that hunkalicious Tom Hardy was cast to star in Elton John’s life story called Rocketman. Of ALL people! This is far bigger casting news than “Fifty Shades of Grey.” The dangerously handsome Hardy usually plays a tough guy or villain so this is really a stretch for him. Plus, he’s got a full head of hair! We couldn’t IMAGINE whose bright idea this was so we did a little research and learned that Elton and his husband David Furnish are producing the movie and THEY decided Hardy was perfect for the role! The two of them must be giggling their heads off somewhere…

Adam Lambert Elton John Rocketman Tom Hardy

ELTON JOHN’S LIFE STORY MIGHT BE MORE INTERESTING THAN YOU THINK!

Hot on the heels of the successful ”Behind the Candelabra” Liberace story, we hear that a musical fantasy version of Elton John’s life called “Rocketman” is in the works. Historically however, life stories with the approval of the central figure are never as hot and juicy as those written by someone like Scott Thorson. Elton would like to see sexy actor Tom Hardy play him or perhaps Justin Timberlake. We think Adam Lambert might be the perfect choice. After Elton’s gone, maybe David Furnish will write a tell-all book and THAT’S the movie we’d like to see!
