Sir Elton John has admitted to having sex with a Russian spy on a hotel roof during a trip to the Soviet Union.

The 66-year-old singer believes that the KGB spy was planted in his entourage by the country's secret police at the height of the Cold War to follow his every move.

He says that after discovering that the man was a mole who worked for the Russian security agency, he slept with him to compromise him.

"I went to Russia in 1979 and I knew we were being watched all the time," John told the Observer.

"I had an interpreter that they'd clearly set up. I ended up having sex with him on the hotel roof."

John became the first Western popstar to perform behind the Iron Curtain when he took to the stage in St Petersburg, formerly Leningrad, in 1979.

In 1985, The Rocket man released Nikita, a song about a westerner who falls for a Berlin border guard. The track, which featured George Michael, was a worldwide hit.

* Favourite outfits Elton wears offstage in Rocketman (2019)

My priority was to design a film that when Elton watched it he’d sit there and go ‘I want to wear that, I wish I could have worn that, I would have loved to have worn that.’ – Julian Day, Rocketman costume designer

elton’s face does an interesting little twitch right after dick asks if he and bernie are flatmates and every time i see it i get the distinct impression of fear or panic or defensiveness. and i’ve spent time trying to decide what exactly the thought process there was and i’ve narrowed it down to two good possibilities:

1) like any closeted gay person, there’s a hyperawareness of anyone suggesting that you in fact are gay. bernie seemed perfectly calm at the question, while elton again had that instant reaction. bernie is straight so the fear that someone would insinuate he’s in any sort of relationship with another man isn’t so ingrained the way it is for elton, who is closeted. so that first response is a knee jerk reaction to the idea that dick has “caught on” to something and is going to out or threaten him or

2) by this time elton had already developed a crush on bernie and could see where dick was going with this and the idea of being put in close proximity with your unrequited straight crush is no gay’s perfect dream. this, or the impending reality of being in such close quarters to bernie was a shock to elton and he had an instaneous reaction to it before schooling his expression: practicing what he’d need to do from here on out—hide it all away.

either way, shit hurts. and even if i’m way off base here, taron definitely put purpose into that micro expression and i’d be so fascinated to know exactly what it’s supposed to convey.
