History Creator / TaronEgerton

* ReclusiveArtist: Somewhat. He's more active on social media as of late, but still fits the trope by mainstream Hollywood standards. Also prone to either posting nothing at all over a period of time, then sometimes posting many things at once.

* HistoricalBeautyUpgrade: Has pretty much become a speciality of his, being cast in quite a handful of PeriodPiece BasedOnATrueStory/VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory roles. For instance, compare [[https://i2.wp.com/writingstudio.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Tom-May-Evan-Dicker-e-Dean-Karny-e1536735657331.jpg the real Dean Karny]] to [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CzT44OOWQAA9EiC.jpg Egerton's]]. ''Billionaire Boys Club'' may have performed the worst of his films, commercially and critically, but the fact that he lent his traditionally handsome looks to Karny has given the character a cult following of SmittenTeenageGirls.

Despite the increasing clamour of fans and press, Egerton has kept a strikingly muted presence outside his acting work, by mainstream Hollywood standards. He dates women outside the acting sphere and has been in a romantic relationship with his girlfriend of about three years and counting, assistant director Emily Thomas. Refer to his page on [[Wiki/TheOtherWiki The Other Wiki]] if you're keen on a few details on his personal life, but he's first to let other people know that he's really quite a boring individual. ([[BrutalHonesty So perhaps mind your own business.]])

* {{Fanboy}}: Of so, so many things and people. His excitable enthusiasm (even towards people he works with) is among his trademarks as a public figure. He's an unabashed fanboy for ''Franchise/StarWars'', musician [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_Paak Anderson Paak]], actress [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zawe_Ashton Zawe Ashton]], [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse the Marvel cinematic universe]], Creator/DavidBowie, Creator/EdgarWright, Creator/GaryOldman, [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]], ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''... and so forth. In some instances, such as ''Dark Crystal,'' he's a PromotedFanboy. [[AwesomeDearBoy ''The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance'' is reportedly the first and sole project he's ever signed on to without having taken so much as a singular look at the script.]]

* OddFriendship: There are loads of fellow straight guys on the planet who like Netflix's ''[[Series/QueerEye2018 Queer Eye]],'' especially as the new series constantly asserts that [[RealMenWearPink the feel-good self-care shown in the programme is for]] ''[[MultipleDemographicAppeal everyone]]'', [[RealMenWearPink including straight men]]. Becoming friends with Tan France and Karamo Brown is an opportunity most people don't have, however, and Egerton has taken it. France has since presented an award for him, describing Egerton as a true ally to the LGBTQ community. On a different note, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B3gcTGAAI7v/ he's also really good friends with some comic book fandom big-names]]. Much less odd because of his {{Fanboy}} persona, but still wild when you consider the names; e.g. Bosslogic, a graphic designer called "a legend in the {{nerd}} community" by Collider, whose fan-casts and miscellaneous art are so popular [[PromotedFanboy Marvel actually hires him to create some official artwork for their films]].

* RealMenWearPink: Not to [[CampStraight camp]] levels, but Egerton is a pretty good example of millennial men's significantly more relaxed approach to and healthier relationship with masculinity. On Tumblr, Creator/WilWheaton praised Egerton's statement on how he's secure about his sexuality and isn't afraid of being affectionate towards his friends, male or female. Egerton has also said that he likes how society is progressing to the point that straight men such as himself don't have to subscribe to one particular manner of behaving.

* ButNotTooForeign: He has yet to play a Welshman onscreen, [[FakeNationality normally cast as a more "accessible" kind of British, i.e. English]]. That said, he makes no secret of the fact that he's Welsh.

* FunnyForeigner: For the first few years of his career as a movie star, interviewers would [[https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/ellen-degeneres-stunned-welsh-tongue-7300686 try to get him to say the name of his hometown]] [[note]] Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch [[/note]] for laughs. He later said he's sick of it. This has since stopped.

* RealPersonFic: Per an early-2019 interview for British GQ, he has actually seen some of the abundant RPF featuring him (or, well, a version of him constructed by said fans). Understandably, he doesn't like it. His phrase of choice in referring to this type of fanfiction: "some weird shit."

-->'''Egerton''': It’s all so full-on and weird. I don’t know why people think I’d want to see that.

* LanternJawOfJustice: It's one of his most defining physical characteristics, with publications and fellow celebrities alike commenting on how remarkably square and sharp his jawline is from day one. Take this quote by no less than Creator/JamieFoxx, with whom Egerton starred in ''RobinHood'':

He later said he's sick of it. This has since stopped.

* NiceGuy: An extraordinarily nice and extraordinarily humble young man, by loads of accounts.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: He sings the CoverVersion of the track "Rocketman," which you can guess is the theme tune of the movie....

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: He sings the CoverVersion of the ''Rocketman'' title track used heavily in marketing.

* SharpDressedMan: Was in British GQ's "best-dressed men" lists for two years in a row. It helps that Giorgio and Roberta Armani themselves approve of him, with the media christening him a muse of the Armani fashion house from 2018 onward.

* AuthorAppeal: He's expressed a desire to defy {{Typecasting}}, but has said that he's drawn to character roles as opposed to the typical generic one-dimensional eye candy archetype. Indeed, his roles tend to be heavy on characterisation, but one thing most of them have in common is that they are [[HeroicArchetype heroic]], [[ActorInspiredElement from a]] [[CapitalismIsBad working-class background]], [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or]] [[WorkingClassHero Working Class Heroes]].

* NiceGuy: By many accounts, an extraordinarily nice and extraordinarily humble young man.

* BrutalHonesty: A trademark of his, as a public figure. He's a very NiceGuy with a pronounced sense of humour, but is also known for being extremely candid in interviews (and in general). According to Egerton; as a student, he once bluntly told his teacher that some notes he'd been passing around with a girl he had a crush on were "none of your business."[[note]]"Sir."[[/note]]
