You’re a Rocketman... Bodyguard star set for UK premiere of biopic of Sir Elton John’s life

Scots Bodyguard star Richard Madden ahead of taking to the red carpet for the UK premiere of Rocketman.

The film, a biopic of Sir Elton Jo h n’s l i f e a n d b e a r i n g t h e name of one of his hit songs, received a lukewarm response from critics following its premiere at the Cannes film festival last week.

It charts the life stor y of the 72-year-old, whose real name is Reginald Dwight, and delves into his struggles with his sexuality, drugs and alcohol.

It sees Taron Egerton portray Sir Elton, with Bodyguard star Madden playing John Reid, Sir Elton’s manager and former lover.
