According to the legend himself, the movie is a true depiction of Elton John’s life and career. The colorful biopic gives us the downs as well as the ups and unapologetically leaves nothing out.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, John explained that it was important to him that the film didn’t try to glamorize his life. He wanted it to depict things exactly how they were.

He revealed: “This is how my life was, and I didn’t want to cover it and gloss it over. And it’s difficult to watch because I thought, ‘God, I don’t want to go back there. Thank God I came out of it’.”

He also added that the film’s depiction of how success affected him was accurate. He said: “Success was fantastic, and then I couldn’t cope with it. And you can’t leave out the bad.”

Timberlake’s name came up because he did an amazing job embodying John’s spirit in the music video “This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore”. He rocked a series of flamboyant outfits, looking just like the younger version of the fellow singer, but it wasn’t enough to win the role.

John’s husband and Rocketman producer David Furnish discussed Timberlake’s involvement with The Hollywood Reporter but admitted there was never a formal offer on the table.

“We never formerly approached Justin because we weren’t ever at a stage where it was the right time to approach him. But he did an amazing job in the video. He put on a prosthetic nose, and it turned out to have been some really interesting acting work as well,” said Furnish.

Rocketman had its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival, and it’s opening in theaters on May 31st. In addition to Egerton, it also stars Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard.
