Taron Egerton and Edward Holcroft? 😱

Direct

I don’t like zitty chests.

Zits and hair loss at the same time doesn't seem fair.

I don't get a couples pose from that whatsoever. Holcroft literally just looks like a celeb who begrudgingly leans forward for a selfie when a fan asks for one. He looks annoyed, actually.

I also don't get a gay vibe from either of them.

I have wondered about Taron ever since I saw this picture of him and Hugh Jackman. Hmmm. I wonder how long before he announces...

R4 = American Hollywood publicist.

They look gay.

They don't look gay at all. Any why are you asking others for an opinion if you're just going to call someone with a different one a shill? Or are you using this message board as a blog of sorts?

Taron never looked at me that way.

Couple a things

They do show up together on social media but they are usually photos like this that suggest nothing other than buys out for a beer

Or this

Then yesterday they posted this which again I didn’t take to mean much

And then today this

This is absolutely a couple photo

There’s nobody else around and it’s a wide shot, no reason to squash up their faces like that

Jake Gyllenhaal has been looking rough, but in the OP's pic he looks horrible.

Must be why he's using an alias. You know how vain he is.

And then there’s circumstantial evidence

These two appeared in Kingsman 2 together so it’s nothing to really think much about…

….until you add Russell Tovey.

Finally this isn’t a real nice thing to say but

Emmy voting ends tomorrow. Taron is up for Blackbird and he is expected to be nominated for Lead Actor in Limited Series.

I absolutely believe Taron Egerton would come out of the closet if he thought it would help him get an Emmy. He famously invited the entire of the Hollywood Foreign Press to his birthday party in the hopes of getting a Golden Globe nomination for Rocket Man.

R3 Acne + Hair loss = steroids

Look at the comments on Instagram

Everyone gets it

They came out. Wow.

No idea who either of them are but the beardy one is gorgeous and looks like Gwyneth Paltrow’s current studly husband.

ROFL “starting”

Another case of, "Gay, or just British (Welsh)?"

If they did come out, this would, correct me if I’m wrong, be the first time that the costars (who played adversaries!) of a major Hollywood film franchise (both Kingsmen did $400 million worldwide) revealed they are gay and in a relationship.

Homo, meet sexual…

In plain sight this whole time

Someone is very invested in this fantasy, I see.

[quote]Someone is very invested in this fantasy, I see.

Well, you have to admit that Egerton and Holcroft are feeding into it.

I mean, r24's pic with them kissing each other while embracing is a bit over the top for "buddies" who like to hang out.

Egerton pings from outer space…

Taron looks like he’s in his early 40s. You’d think Holcroft was the younger one.

Holcroft is in production for a series of Never Let Me Go.

After Handmaid's Tale, I can see where studios might think mining books which lean more toward litarary fiction than genre from big name authors like Ishiguro might be appealing.

If it's a series, in order to keep it going, they'll have to turn it into a revolution for the spare parts clones which might not be awful, but diverges from the point of Ishiguro's book. The Handmaid's Tale was always a lot more open-ended.

Gayer than Paris in the spring!

Agree with R27. Who could ever think this dude is str8?

I vote gay. Why wasn’t this a poll?

Taron has steroid acne.

Guuuurl

Just mates taking a selfie. Edward is delicious but straight I'm sure...as for Taron..???

It's "the last Sunday in June," because they're at at the Glastonbury Festival. Elton John is on schedule.

And that may not be acne on his chest. Festival organizers advise people to bring insect repellent: "Camping and evenings outside always lead to bites so consider bug repellent."

If Taron was going to come out you’d think he’d do it when he was playing Elton John.

Then again Richard Madden didn’t come out for that movie either so who knows.

Edward Holcroft is SO HOT to me - I love his big sexy nose

So two guys go to Glasto together to see Elton John and we're expected to think they are straight?

R39 It’s not exactly a tell-tale sign when one of them literally played Elton in a biopic and is probably there as a VIP guest?

You might have to see how they were acting when Blondie was performing today.

On Taron's twitter there are other photos of the group he was with.

Poor Edward, stuck in that box by evil Charlotte Rampling

Egerton lives in West London.[4] He describes himself as having come from a working-class background.[46] Having lost a grandmother to motor neurone disease, he is an ambassador for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. He supports gay rights.

Edward Patrick Holcroft (born 23 June 1987) is an English film, television and stage actor. He is best known for his roles in the Kingsman film franchise and in the television series Wolf Hall (2015), London Spy (2015), and Alias Grace (2017).

I always thought Holcroft would make a good James Bond

Gays have been fantasizing about Holcroft ever since the sex scene in London Spy.

[quote]Gays have been fantasizing about Holcroft ever since the sex scene in London Spy.

Whoever choreographed that sex scene was straight. Also, who's going to believe that Winshaw was the top between the two of them.

If Holcroft is gay, then London Spy would be an extremely early example of two real-life gay actors in a love scene on a major platform (BBC).

Major gayface at r44

The last line of Egerton's Wikipedia page, "He supports gay rights" is odd.

Eh, doesn't really seem gay

...and Lee Pace and Richard Armitage were just bros hanging out, as well.

R51 "He supports gay rights" is just a term used for an evidently gay male celeb who doesn't want to come out.

R54 Are there any people who support gay rights that could truly be straight?

Edward could do better. Taron looks strung out and used up.

R40 "...one of them literally played Elton..."

He "literally" played him, huh?

Apparently this was shared on an IG story the other day

It was Edward’s 36th birthday

R58, he looks like he's saying "Hey, gurl, heeeyyy!"

They're just buddies, like Julian Morris and Landon Ross.

Or Wentworth Millerand Luke MacFarlane

Holcroft isn't gay. He's dated many women and has never been linked to a man. But he seems to be so confident in his heterosexuality he doesn't give a shit about appearing with any other guy (or gal) if they're friends.

People who've worked with him say he's one of the nicest celebrities around. He doesn't work as much as many of the others because he just doesn't care. He only takes on projects he likes.

Egerton, on the other hand, well, who knows....

R61 what kept you?

Another from this weekend

I totally buy Whishaw as a top. Femme tops exist!

Taron, come out, gurl

Holcroft reshared the photo on his Story

I have seen the full birthday gif from r 58. It does show Edward walking up to Taron holding the cake. It is captioned "happy bday my brother x" so probably just good friends.

Taron's jawline is amazing. He's a star with the right vehicles.

Back in the day, actors lost careers and livelihoods if they were suspected of being gay.

Now? You practically HAVE to come out.

Taron’s acne is definitely from steroids for Black Bird. He’s jacked as hell in that. Roid body.

r61, so does he come from money? How else can someone just work when they like without some major studio work behind them? Playing a villain in two movies does not mean, long-term financial stability.

I'd say Edward Holcroft comes from a pretty comfortable background, r 70. His father served as Lord-Lieutenant of Worcestershire and was a CEO at Lloyds. His mother was a publisher of Vanity Fair.

R48 Based on the story, "Alex" (Holcroft) was portrayed as this rather introverted, solitary kind of guy who'd been sheltered while growing up due to his genius and subsequent importance to the spy organization. He told "Danny" (Whishaw). that he'd never been in a relationship, saying he'd actually given up trying at some point, so his ability to express emotions was awkward. (e.g. hand-shaking at the end of a date, instead of kissing) .. Whereas Danny was portrayed as having previously led a very hedonistic lifestyle (i.e. drugs, anonymous hookups, orgies). .. Given that, it made sense that in their first sex (shown in that clip), Alex would be more submissive and Danny would be the one to take-charge.

"Now? You practically HAVE to come out."

No, you don't. Just ask all the actors who are still closeted.

Haven’t seen London Spy in a while but it was clearly spelled out that Alex was a high functioning autistic savant who was inexperienced with sex.

Hence, bottoming without preparation. But hot guys can get away with anything. I would have still fucked him, with a condom on, ready or not!

Oh, and he really, really, really needs hair to balance his face. Sorry, the buzz cut works in very select angles but he needs hair to balance this face out. Love him, but the buzz cut look is a hell no!

With hair, he's like a British Bradley Cooper.

Those eyes......sigh....

Taron storied this a few weeks ago

I don’t know how else you can interpret this

Non, je ne regrette rien.

If Taron is gay, why does he look Gay 50. Certainly not Gay 30 something.

Because r80 have you seen what happens when you put an Englishman or Welshman in the sun for too long?

Have you seen a recent photo of Alex Pettyfer?

He’s THIRTY THREE.

Why do the English age so poorly?

Richard Armitage has gone to hell in the few short years since The Hobbit. It goes beyond too much sun.

They become doughy and soft and the face loses youthful elasticity much faster than anyone else. It's like one of their ancestors on the small island with limited genetic diversity had some sort of collagen deficiency or they got a faulty gene that controls production and it simply stops at 30.

That’s certainly an interesting theory.

Ben Barnes looks fantastic at nearly 42, but he has a Jewish mother.

Andrew Garfield has also aged better than most at 39. But, Jewish father.

[quote]Ben Barnes looks fantastic at nearly 42, but he has a Jewish mother.

Ben Barnes had a shit ton of work done on his face - were you here a few months ago when we mercilessly mocked him for it?

Garfield also has had some surgery recently to tighten things up.

^^^You can see it here.

They ALL have surgeries to tighten things up.

But even WITH the surgeries, the Anglo-Saxon “purebloods” look worse.

LOL you bitter old whores mock people for ageing naturally and mock them for surgery to reduce the ageing process.

Please never post a selfie.

r78, are the three of them all heading for a squared jaw convention?

Yikes, Taron is aging horribly. Is he really doing steroids? I see the acne and hair loss but I don’t see muscle gain.

It looks like meth wasting in the face.

R43: I absolutely despised London Spy. I know the body in the suitcase premise was based on a real incident, but that was just unnecessarily cruel, and they completely obliterated all the gay characters in that show. Just pure sensationalist homophobic trash.

Taron and Edward make a beautiful couple. Even if they’re not fucking it’s nice to see two friends that are comfortable being so affectionate with one another.

[quote]LOL you bitter old whores mock people for ageing naturally

No, we mock them for aging horribly whether naturally or with bad plastic surgery.

"I see the acne and hair loss but I don’t see muscle gain."

Seriously, check out Black Bird. You'll see the muscle gain (at least at the time it was filmed.)

I'll be curious to see if he has much of a career moving forward. If it was going to happen for him as a big leading man or action hero it would have happened by now, since he's the sort whose looks peak physically when he is in his 20s and then drop off. He's okay as an actor but it's hard to imagine him in big dramatic parts.

I foresee him mostly playing detectives or cops in British TV series down the line.

Fags!

London Spy had its (many) issues, but it was intended to continue and I doubt Alex was really dead. Nothing that happened to Danny made any sense at all, unless he was still alive

[quote] If it was going to happen for him as a big leading man or action hero it would have happened by now, since he's the sort whose looks peak physically when he is in his 20s and then drop off.

The Kingsmen should have been an ongoing franchise at least as successful as Cruise's Mission Impossible. It's weird that it flailed so miserably on its second outing and never recovered for a third try.

The second movie had a MAJOR upgrade: Channing Tatum, Halle Berry, Jeff Bridges, Pedro Pascal and Julianne Moore.

The one review that sticks in my head is why did they make Karen Walker the villain.

The third movie ditched American actors and writer Jane Goldman, and was quite dull despite Aaron Taylor Johnson and Harris Dickinson.

And the fourth is in development with Taron and Colin coming back. apparently.

And Matthew Vaughan's Argylle is now getting a cinema release in February 24 after being expected to drop on Apple for months.

They did do a third movie. The Great Game. It was a prequel with Ralph Fiennes and Harris Dickinson and Rhys Ifans as Rasputin.

That 3rd movie is called The King's Man.

Taron’s in great shape and is very athletic. I’m sure he’ll continue to have success in action roles if he wants to, but it does seem like he’s trying to branch out into drama more. He’s looking for awards recognition at this point.

Stop bullshiting frau R68.

All successful A/B and C listers I can think of who are not straight are certainly CLOSETED men, the openly gay ones are D-list celebrities.

Taron does look gay, the pictures do look inappropriate for straight men.

R16, you used to have to stay in the closet to have a career; now, you practically HAVE to come out.

If you want to branch out into drama, maybe not walking out of West End plays is a bit of an idea?

No, you don't have to come out. Ask all the closet cases.

Love Taron! He makes me look straight!

It's not so much that Taron is aging, but he's losing so much weight especially in his face. It's making him look drawn, bony and angular and older than he is.

I FUCK and FUCK Edward Holcroft until I’m half-dead and they say, “He’s getting old!”

Today’s gaiety

Taron does have that "freshly fucked" glow

And his nipples are so sore from their love making, he couldn't even put on a shit...so he just slipped an old sweater over his shoulders

[quote]If you want to branch out into drama, maybe not walking out of West End plays is a bit of an idea?

He did an interview with Jonathan Bailey on The One Show to promote Cock. The chemistry is OUT OF THIS WORLD

Video

Hey, gurl, heeeeey

Any nudes?

[quote]Any nudes?

I have a ton of Taron's nudes I can send you...

but you can fuck him if you want to - I've got his hole nice and opened up.

Foetus Egercroft

^ so gay, his bussy is making a puddle on the floor

Thinking it didn’t happen until the second movie though

"Daddy says my little titties will grow if he keeps playing with them while he fucks me!"

Reader, it did not.

KISS HIM

Entertainment Lawyer has been dropping blind items about Taron being gay and supposedly planning to come out for going on five years.

Oh big deal cats and dogs knew Taron was gay. That is not the shocking part here.

I’m supposed to know who they are? Nah, won’t even Google. Hope they’re a couple because they’re kind of sexy together. That’s all.

Well he got spooked

But my God I don’t understand the narcissism of telling people you need to take a break. Just stop posting for a while. No one cares about your IG that much.

Armie Hammer used to do this and Lord knows he had problems.

Chris Evans reshared it and said he was doing thr same thing.

Celebs reach the max of how much attention they can get, and they start to go crazy. That’s why they have to announce it. For more attention lol

Taron has been trying to edge his way out of the closet door. Trust me, he is definitely gay. He would like to come out, but the powers that be say no, no, no.

What powers that be? He doesn’t have a series or franchise. He played Elton John for pete’s sake.

R131 his PR team. I promise you it’s true. Just wait. He is slowly slinking out.

R9 it’s giving Hunchback Lez

Of course his PR team is not going to want him to come out on social media. If celebs could take care of their images on social media, publicists wouldn’t have jobs.

Here is my issue with what him and Evans are doing

This is exactly what they are doing

I hated that scene. Queen Anne would NEVER have done that.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt; maybe he's announcing it for those nice followers who aren't always trashing him.

And he's right about reading too many thoughts from random negative people.

It's sad he can't come out. or feels he can't or his pr team doesn't want him too.

Honestly, tho, at the Elton concert singing along with Edward? That's coming out.

I mean yes it’s obvious what he was trying to do and has been planning it for some time. Edward didn’t even have a public Instagram until like a month ago. Edward Holfcroft has been so private it’s probably hurt his career. These days projects are cast based on Instagram followers.

I disagree with them starting out on Instagram though. Mens Fashion Week was last week, they could have just started showing up at shows together and people would have gotten the message.

Froy handled his coming out better than anyone in recent memory. Granted he had the benefit of nobody knowing who the fuck he is, but he basically just started living his life and then he started getting seen with Zane all the time and then he kissed him in from of cameras at a tiny little event and those who knew where to look spread the photo and now he’s out without even having to say the I AM sentence. And all done without a publicist because Froy can’t afford a fucking publicist.

What the fuck? The Froy loons are now colonising this thread?

Is he a the homo gay?

Edward’s post from today

He’s such a beautiful man. He should at least have Ben Barnes’s career.

[quote]But my God I don’t understand the narcissism of telling people you need to take a break. Just stop posting for a while. No one cares about your IG that much.

Actually, if you're a prolific poster, stopping without warning creates a whole different kind of crazy. It's a self-perpetuating cycle. If you stop without justifying why in groteque detail, people start seeing all sorts of sinister and deranged crazy and create a different narrative on their own.

No win scenario
