In fact, the positive headlines surrounding his stagemate’s series would be the perfect advertisement for the new West End production in which the “Kingsman” star was set to star. But health problems have been troubling Egerton since the premiere of the production. During the performance, the actor collapsed on stage in front of the audience and the understudy had to step in. Shortly therefollowing, the “Rocketman” actor gave the all-clear on his Instagram profile and reported that he would be “fine”. However, he then tested positive for the corona virus, which is why his fellow actors Joel Harper-Jackson had to take over his role for the last ten days.
It has now been announced that Taron Egerton will no longer appear on stage in “Cock”. For “personal reasons” he would have decided not to take on the role once more in the next few weeks. More detailed information has not yet been announced. Instead of Egerton, Harper-Jackson will continue to play the role for the next performances.
