What a compliment! 😍
After a screening of the film at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, the music legend and the actor"We thought it would be great and we want to keep the film in people's consciousness, because it came out early and it's awards season," John told ET's Kevin Frazier at the event."We thought it would be a great, fun way for people to reconnect with the film and the music because the music is a big part of the film.
As the credits rolled after the film, the duo performed" Love Me Again" and concluded the evening with John on piano and Egerton singing"Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me.
"He doesn't want me to be constantly looking at him like he's God," the actor continued. "He wants me to look at him like he's my friend, which he is." As for John, he's"so fond" of Egerton and considers him"part of my family.""I don't think I have to say anything to him because he seems to have it figured out for himself," John said of giving the actor career advice."He's much more happy within himself and I think that's the truth.
