Matthew Vaughn, director of the spy flick Kingsman: The Secret Service, says that he wanted to have Elton John in his movie. Speaking with ABC, Vaughn remarked that he’d come up with some interesting material for the singer. “I was umming and ahhing ’cause it had a whole fun subplot about celebrities being kidnapped. And I had an idea of, who’s the worst celebrity you’d want to have locked in a cell? And I came up with Elton John.” “Having Elton John throwing these huge tantrums. And then I wanted to do an action scene of Elton John kicking the living daylights out of people.” He added that the idea was never brought to reality, “First of all, the celebrities said no. And then I just got uncomfortable with, how do you have celebrities playing themselves, opposite famous actors playing another role? The suspension of disbelief suddenly becomes harder to pull off.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
