Taron Egerton achieved worldwide fame when he starred in the hit Kingman franchise. With a third one in the making, the actor has since gone on to star in multiple acclaimed movies including the biopic of Elton John, Rocketman, for which he bagged a Golden Globe.
A Welsh actor and singer, he has had a spectacular career so far and boasts a net worth of about $6 million, a significant figure considering he is still fairly new in the industry. Despite drawing millions, the actor once expressed that living in Los Angeles was not the best option for him.
Taron Egerton On Living In Los Angeles Is Not The Best Choice For Him
Taron Egerton‘s break into the industry was when he starred in the action comedy thriller Kingsman: The Secret Service back in 2014. However, his breakthrough was the biographical musical Rocketman, earning him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
With countless other nominations, including a Grammy one for the film’s soundtrack, the young Welsh actor has been faring well in his film career. Despite drawing millions, and all set to star in major projects, including the threequel of his acclaimed Kingman franchise, the actor feels he isn’t at the point where he can live in a city like Los Angeles.
While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter once, the Robin Hood star was asked how he feels about living in the glitzy city of LA and if he would ever consider living there full time and he honestly answered,
“At first I found it a bit foreign and daunting, but once you accept it for the beast it is, I love it. If I had the disposable cash, I’d think about getting a place here. But that’s a hell of a commitment.”
While he might not be looking to live in LA anytime soon, he is said to be prepping up for Kingman 3, which is expected to start shooting next year,
Taron Egerton Will Be Back As Eggsy Once Again
Fans have loved Taron Egerton as Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin in the two Kingsman movies, wanting him to come back as the British spy once again. Egerton himself in March 2023 showed his interest in playing the character again while also hinting it might be his last appearance (via Collider).
Meanwhile, director Matthew Vaughn provided a promising update about the expected threequel while speaking at the New York Comic Con (via ScreenRant). He confirmed that Kingman 3, currently titled The Blue Blood, is on its way with the shoot expected to start next year.
Even though the details of the plot and cast have not yet been revealed, fans are nonetheless excited about the prospect of having Egerton in one of his most fan-favorite roles. However, it would be worth watching how the third part performs since the 2021 prequel, The King’s Man was a major box-office disappointment.
The Kingman franchise can be streamed on Disney+.
