in #CASE you missed it… Elton John Considered Justin Timberlake to Star in 'Rocketman'

Did you know that Taron Egerton wasn’t the first pick to portray Elton John in his biopic, “Rocketman?”

According to John’s husband and "Rocketman" producer, David Furnish, Justin Timberlake was the first pick after Furnish and John loved his work in Elton’s This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore video.

He put on a prosthetic nose, and it turned out to have been some really interesting acting work as well,” Furnish told The Hollywood Reporter.

Furnish said the reason for not approaching Timberlake with the role was because “they hadn’t gotten to the stage where it was the right time to approach him.”

How do you think Timberlake would’ve done as “Rocketman?”
