Welsh actor Taron Egerton was serving Continental Baths realness on Instagram this week.
Clad only in a towel, the Rocketman star grooved to the Bee Gee’s 1977 hit “More Than A Woman.”
The clip quickly found its way to Twitter, where it proved to be quite a hit:

Egerton’s physique, which he appears all too happy to share with fans, has added fuel to rumors he’ll soon join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the next iteration of Wolverine.
Men’s Fitness reported: “The Welsh actor’s newly jacked physique has once again prompted widespread speculation that he is getting ready to make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the newest incarnation of the beloved X-Men character Wolverine. Egerton, who is friends with legacy Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman after starring alongside him in Eddie the Eagle, has been at the center of casting rumors for years now, although he has downplayed them in the past.”
And last month at Comic-Con, Wolverine director Matthew Vaughan said, “I think Taron could do it in his sleep. Aaron Taylor-Johnson could do it as well. I mean, I think Aaron or Taron would be my first two choices [of who] could do it really well.”
Egerton, for his part, seems less convinced he’s perfect for the role. At a 2019 Chicago Comic-Con event, he said, “I think that I love those films and I’ve got lots of friends who play roles in those films and they love it and they have a great time.I think the Logan thing is really interesting. I’m slightly baffled by it, I’ve never felt like a Wolverine sort of guy.”
Perhaps all that time at the gym has changed his tune.

Well, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is already set to play Kraven the Hunter on a Spider-Man movie but, as Gemma Chan has proven, one role does not preclude another.
I would add Zac Efron to the list though. He’s got the build and like the others, he’s about the same age as Hugh Jackman was when he got the Wolverine role.

Zac Efron has a great build but he’s not tall. Zac is 5’8. Hugh Jackman is 6’3.

He should smile more.

Everybody does not always feel like smiling. He is fine as is. He is giving us mood and attitude. Plenty of grinning cheesers out here, go find you one.

Nice body; great face. Dancing is just ok, but is he mad at the song, the towel, the world? I don’t think I have ever seen such a more pronounced upside down smile. It’s as if he is trying to look as unhappy as possible.

Not a fan before the towel dance, not a fan after.

He everything wrapped up and more. What a handsome sexy man!
The real Bruce
Reminds me of the gay bar go-go boys years ago. Shorter towels and most of the time, we’d drop the towels half-way through our songs. Behind the bar, safely out of reach. Taron’s got a real nice body. His dance card would have been filled. And so would his “tip jar”!!

“I’ve never felt like a Wolverine sort of guy.”
Isn’t that what actors are supposed to do? Play the part of someone they’re not? It’s called ACTING, Taron.

So a dude posts a video when he dances half-naked and the whole “Taron Egerton Condemns #MeToo, Praises Kevin Spacey” sh*t is forgotten?
emarell9
Can’t get past that look on his face, like he’s just about to hurl. Not sexy.

Too bad about the roid zits on this chest. They look deep.
