Many interesting facts about the use of makeup, wigs and prosthetics in “Rocketman” in the June/July 2019 issue of the “Make-up Artist” magazine

arlessiar replied to your post: Okay but how fucking dare they fill in his tooth?...

I just remembered though that this photo without the gap is a still from a video. And “photoshopping a video” would be a lot of work for an ad. So maybe he did get it fixed? But when was this filmed then? I’m so confused. ^^

I saw someone estimate the time it was filmed around November and I kinda do agree with it being late last year, early this year because he was a lot thinner around that time and he’s bulked up more since and he does look thinner in the ads. But there’s just no way to know exactly, so I am leaning more toward it being either an edit job or that they had him wear a cap or something. It wouldn’t be an impossible job to edit it, though, but it was remarkably well done, so my guess is more that it’s something he wore. At first I thought they just flipped the video and it was actually the right side of his mouth, but his neck mole is in the proper spot so it couldn’t be. This level of investigation is starting to lean toward unnecessarily creepy 😂 Taron, solve this and just post a selfie, please.

The Sun is twisting his words. He didn't turn down a third KM film. He'll simply not be in the prequel because how could that possibly work? But he'll be in in the third original film. *sigh* No wonder that misinformation will never stop going round if newspapers get it wrong again and again.

There’s a gifset on my dash from an interview Taron gave in Cannes.  He’d been asked if he’d be in the next Kingsman movie.  He smiled very widely and said, “Yeah, of course.  I’m the lead actor”.

And the Sun is so notorious for screwing everything up.

You cutie! <3 I guess you would, yes. But I could never show up at work again. ^^ I’ve actually never had any kind of hair dye experiments in my life but I’m afraid it’s inevitable soon. Grey hair! You doing house calls? ;)

I totally would! (Yes, I am doing house calls for my friends!!!) And hey, we could do something like this: 

only with orange and maybe some yellow and red mixed in. I do have ideas... *grins*

The Rocketman premiere in London

This report is a bit late, but I still wanted to post it even though it’s been a few weeks since the premiere already.

I planned my annual London trip around the premiere, so we arrived on Saturday and left the Sunday after. On the Sunday after our arrival my friend @nymeriajfm and I already went to Leicester Square and watched the proceedings with anticipation as they started all the preparations for the premiere. On Monday we got up veeery early and went to the Odeon, where quite a few fans were waiting already. I unexpectedly met @lady-mephistopheles there – isn’t fandom amazing? We spent the rest of the day together. (More pics of the day before and of that morning: see the “arlessiar on the road” tag in my blog)

I had taken a “Metro” newspaper with me in the morning just to had sth to read during our long wait, and when I opened it I found a Rocketman ad that promised a free ticket for film on premiere day for the first 100 at the red carpet with this ad. We were all pretty excited about it and got more of the newspapers, but it was all wait & see as usual, such things are never certain. We got our wristbands at 8am - #37 - and then the waiting game began. Around 2:30pm they let us into the pens directly at the red (in this case blue) carpet in front of the Odeon entrance and opposite the press. It was a bit chaotic when they filled the pens because the organisation left a lot to be desired, let’s just say I’m happy I ended up in the first row in the end as we had to fight for that even with such low numbers..

The atmosphere itself was amazing, we sang a lot of Elton John songs while waiting for the event to begin. An American TV station actually interviewed us about our favourite Elton John songs and I confused the nice lady a bit when I told her that mine is “Ticking”, a song which she didn’t know. So maybe I was on TV somewhere in America later telling her to look up that song because it’s amazing. Not embarrassing at all. XD

On bis screens we could then watch the celebs arrive at the other end of the blue carpet,  and there were quite a few exciting guests who went to the premiere screening. We saw Tom Holland, James Blunt, David Walliams, Stephen Fry and a few others. I got autographs and/or pictures from/with Stanley Tucci, Claudia Schiffer and – finally – Mark Strong, who I had missed at the Kingsman TGC premiere. He was so calm, and so lovely! Told him that we need him back as Merlin in KM3! :)

Unfortunately it wasn’t really possible to see much of the Rocketman stars themselves. Richard Madden signed for a while and took pictures with fans but when he came closer to where we were standing the autograph hunters were pushing and screaming so loudly that he looked a bit taken aback and left for interviews.

It was lovely to see Elton and David, they were driven past on a special car and waved and we all yelled how much we love him and you could see that Elton was really touched by the whole scenario and the overall excitement for the film.

We didn’t get to see much of Taron unfortunately. He arrived with his Mum and with Emily and he was so incredibly emotional, it was so lovely! People cheered when he kissed his adorable Mum! But sadly the press that stood opposite us was demanding all of his attention. He had to hurry from interview to interview and did not have any time to come over to the fans, although he wanted to as he told us, but in the end he never did.

Bryce Dallas Howard was a darling – even though they had to go into the cinema she went down the carpet and let people take pictures with her. She said no autographs because there was no time but that she had promised everyone a picture and that she wanted to keep that promise. So I got a photo with her as well. :)

Then everyone went into the cinema and they brought the cars round to drive them all to the after party afterwards. We were still waiting and asking for the film tickets the ad had promised. There was a lot of confusion on the side of the officials as always, and quite a few fans left during that time. But in the end one of the security guys went into the cinema and came back with a stack of premiere tickets and told us to go to the Cineworld on the other side of Leicester Square, so we ran. Finally there we sank into our seats. Some goodie bags were waiting for us with water and crisps and chocolate (much needed). We were so tired and incredibly giddy, but then the film started and I was so happy that we got to see it that night! It was magical.

I'm celebrating Christmas in style this year, wearing my brand-new reindeer jumper around the house today. Saw it in a shop a few weeks ago and was all like "omg Mark Daaaarcy!" before I grabbed and bought it. ^^ Also, introducing Harry (orange bow, mine) and Eggsy (yellow bow, my gift to Mum). Mum said "aww, look at these cute best friends" and I... well I'm shipping them. ^^

[arlessiar]

I’ve arrived back home last night after a terrific week in London. From all the times I’ve been there this has definitely been one of the most amazing trips so far! But it was 90% fandom related this time, so that made it quite special of course. :)

Before we went to see the film on Wednesday, we spent the day visiting filming locations and continued that on Thursday. We went to Savile Row again and actually went into the Huntsman shop this time, which had put up a big poster of Eggsy in the orange suit in the shop window. We didn’t want to disturb anyone and were very quiet, but someone told us that it’s ok to go into the fitting room, so we did that and took photos of absolutely everything in there and of ourselves in the mirror. 

We also went to St James’s Street again to taste some Kingsman Gin and Statesman Whisky and  we visited the Alexandra Road Estates.

On Thursday evening I joined Elle and Krissie when they went to the Black Prince, we had dinner and I had all the time to finish that lovely pint of Guinness in peace. OK, until we thought that it might be a nice idea to watch TGC once again, and we decided on a late screening at the Vue in Islington, where we had the pleasure to listen to Mark Strong in his role as Merlin telling us to switch our phones off. 

I enjoyed the trip so much, it had so many special moments (that photo with Colin definitely being the highlight) and I met the most wonderful people! Thanks for the great time together, @letmecomealong @blacksheepsadventure@paxdracona (plus sis) @glorioussandwichwhispers @travelledspace  and special thanks to @elletromil and @krissielee for the company, the laughter, the singing and all the adventures! :-*

Hope to see you all again in the near future - write faster, Vaughn!! 

(There’s so much I have to catch up on, tumblr posts, fanfic, comments... I apologise if someone is waiting for a reply, but with the elections tomorrow and work again on Monday I’m not sure when I’ll find the time for all this...)

[arlessiar]

I love London. And this film’s promotion team.

[arlessiar]

Look, I found Eggsy Unwin in my garden!

[arlessiar]

This was one of the most exciting and most exhausting days of my life. ^^

Got up at 6am and met with @krissielee and @elletromil around 8. We went to the Odeon cinema as we had heard that this would indeed be a wristband premiere. We got to choose at which colour-coded pen we’d want to be and got the according wristband, in our case purple. We then went to have breakfast and came back around noon. It took them longer to set up everything though and we waited for hours. Entertained ourselves with singing and with press interviews (*waves to @krissielee *) Then they came to let us into our pens. Our colour was last, and we got told that there had been a mistake and they had given out too many pink wristbands, so our pen was full. Which meant we ended up in another area (directly opposite the press) on second row. I had given up hope at that point to achieve anything then just seeing the actors.

Around 5pm the premiere started and Hanna Alström arrived first. She was very lovely and beautiful and I got her autograph, which wasn’t easy but we managed because the Asian people right in front of us were very kind (unlike other people who push and crush you or that guy who told us to get lost as we were “only second row”…).

There was, as always at such events, music and entertainment, and they had quite a few very cute pugs there! Actors and guests arrived one after the other, Edward, Taron and Emily, Mark, Colin and Livia, Jeff, Julianne, Pedro, Channing and Jenna, Matthew and Claudia, Elton, Halle, Sophie…

They made their way down the orange carpet (orange! My fav colour!) and alternated between press interviews and fan service and stage live interviews. We stood there admit the sun and rain and the screaming and waited. My feet and my back were killing me already!

Taron came by then. He looked fab in his grey three-piece suit and was his usual quirky self, making funny faces and laughing lots. I actually managed to get his autograph!

Unfortunately Mark, who had given interviews, couldn’t come back to us but started signing again at a different point of the crowd.

Colin had given an interview on the tiny stage with Taron and Elton. He had walked past us for that and signalled us that he’d come back but I thought that wouldn’t be likely. I was wrong. He did come back and he gave autographs and took pictures with all the fans like a pro. He was so calm and patient and never stopped smiling! A rock in the rough sea! He came closer and suddenly there was a gap in front of me and he signed my picture and I could look at him and asked for a photo! He nodded, leaned in and took my phone. I had forgotten to switch it to selfie mode so I fiddled around with the display while he held the phone and then he took the loveliest picture of me and him! I thanked him kindly and he went to the next person and I was done. My legs started shaking and I certainly didn’t feel like an adult woman in that moment…

The rest of the premiere pretty much passed me by. We saw on the big screen that especially Colin kept giving autographs and taking photos with the fans and he stayed extraordinarily polite and calm and kind all the time! Elle got a picture with Colin as well today and Krissie got one yesterday so we were quite happy.

The actors went into the cinema to introduce the film and then went into the second cinema a short while later to do the same there. They were all getting into cars after that and they probably had dinner together somewhere at the after-party.

We left the area and we asked twice if I could have a tiny bit of the orange carpet as a souvenir but unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Krissie was allowed to take one of the great KM poster canvas thingies though. ^^

I’m deadly tired but very happy and thankful right now. Thanks to Elle and Krissie for another great day in your company!

The photos I took aren’t that great as I was busy with autographs and surviving, and you find much better official ones, but I’ll add them to illustrate this report. Please don’t repost them anywhere!

“Meeting” Colin was my major goal for this trip and it actually happened when I had given up hope, so I’m more than happy at the moment!! :) And very tired. Off to bed. More fannish stuff tomorrow and then the film on Wednesday.

[arlessiar]

At the cinema. Less than one hour until we meet the Kingsman again. So honoured to share this moment with you @elletromil @krissielee @glorioussandwichwhispers @paxdracona @travelledspace ! :)

[arlessiar]

I had a wonderful day in London. Had breakfast with @letmecomealong and @blacksheepsadventure and they helped me chasing buses with Kingsman ads on them! :) We watched the proceedings at Leicester Square where they set up everything for the premiere tomorrow.

Then met the wonderful @krissielee and @elletromil for the first time and we had so much fun talking about this and that for hours while we were waiting for some of the Kingsman actors who were doing interviews today. Saw Matthew & Claudia, Pedro, Jeff and Taron (sry weird pic, someone’s flash went off).

My feet and back hurt like hell. How am I gonna survive standing at that red carpet tomorrow? XD Bed now, long day ahead. :)

[arlessiar]

Oh @elletromil @krissielee and I also visited Harry’s house today. :) So here’s a photo of the house and the shadows of Charlie’s Angels. ^^
