Exclusive interview: Jamie Bell discusses teaming up with Taron Egerton in Rocketman

Taron Egerton is already making waves with his portrayal of Elton John in the new musical biopic tracking the British legend's breakout years. Even before the film's release the Kingsman actor proved he could hit the right notes with a touching rendition of the incredible 'Tiny Dancer'.

But art mirrors life, and Elton didn't become the icon we know today all by himself.

Jamie Bell plays long-time songwriting partner Bernie Taupin (the pair worked together for five decades on over 30 albums). Their friendship is a major focus for the musical biopic, so we caught up with Bell in an exclusive interview to find out more.

Rocketman shoots into Cineworld cinemas on 22nd May, and you can book tickets now. Excited to see the musical stylings of Taron and Jamie on the big screen? Let us know @Cineworld.
