Taron Egerton<\/a> backed out of getting a neck tattoo because his mother didn’t approve.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Taron Egerton considered a neck tattoo<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old actor had a number of fake inkings applied to his skin for his role as an ex-prisoner in She Rides Shotgun and he liked one particular design so much, he decided to make it permanent.<\/p>\n
However, when Christine Egerton visited the set and heard of her son’s plan, she made her disapproval clear.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Taron said: “Applied daily, took about an hour. I quite enjoyed it. Made me feel very tough.”<\/p>\n
Of the chilli pepper inking on his neck, he added: “I actually nearly did a crazy thing. I was all ready and booked to get that tattooed on my head on the last day of the shoot, in that spot. I don’t know what earth I was thinking actually, but I really was ready to do it.<\/p>\n
\n“But the thing that happened that I hadn’t anticipated was the last day of the shoot, my mum was in town.<\/p>\n
\n“The make-up artist had set it up about halfway through the day, and she said, ‘You’re all set for this evening.’ And I just panicked immediately.<\/p>\n
\n“My mum went, ‘I beg your pardon?’ And I went, ‘Well, I’m going to get this tattoo. I’ve had a really good, really spiritual [time], Mum. I want to commemorate it.’ And she did this classic mum thing where she was looking at me and she just [turned away]. <\/p>\n
\n“Panicked, and cancelled it immediately.”<\/p>\n
\nThe Rocketman actor used his appearance on the show to issue an appeal to singer Benson Boone in the hope of finally being able to impress his two younger sisters.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “Nothing I\u2019ve done \u2013 up until this point \u2013 [has impressed my sisters] but I\u2019ve had an idea and I think there\u2019s one thing that could be achieved that would get, particularly my sister Mary, who is 12, to be impressed with me.<\/p>\n
\n“Every time I get on FaceTime to her and I\u2019m like, \u2018Hi Mary how are you? How\u2019s school? Everything good? Anything exciting happening?\u2019 And she\u2019ll go, \u2018Do you know Benson Boone?\u2019 And I say, \u2018No, I haven\u2019t met Benson Boone since Thursday.\u2019 She\u2019s like, \u2018OK. Be good if you knew Benson Boone.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n“So Benson Boone, if you are watching please, please, can me and my little sister come and watch you in concert because then I\u2019ll get some cool points.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTaron admitted that even if anything he did actually impressed his siblings, they wouldn’t tell him.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “I think even if they were remotely impressed, they would never ever show me, they would never let on because that would give me status and the narrative in the house is that I\u2019m the favourite child.<\/p>\n
\nHost Seth then joked Taron\u2019s siblings probably dreamed he had upset their mother by getting the neck tattoo.<\/p>\n
\nHe replied: \u201cTheir dream is probably that the bad guys do get me.\u201d<\/p>\n
