How did you get this role? They asked me to send in an audition tape. You kinda have to look like Charlize, and I had been told before that I resemble her, which was a huge compliment. And I thought, “Oh my goodness, I know I have a shot at this, I could get this.” I sent in the audition tape, I didn’t hear anything so I thought I didn’t get it, but I thought I did so well, and I was pretty disappointed. Then, after they started production, they told me I booked it and flew me to Montreal.

Do you have a favourite Theron movie? That’s difficult. The first time I ever saw her was in the movie Hancock. I love her in that movie, and I really loved her last movie, Tully. It was supercute.

We talk with Mena Massoud about his stab-in-the- dark audition tape for Aladdin’s title role, and why he managed to get the part over a bunch of big-name stars BY INGRID RANDOJA

T WAS THE CASTING CALL HEARD round the world. In 2016, when Disney decided it would make a live-action version of its 1992 animated hit Aladdin, Iit understood there could be no Hollywood whitewashing. Director Guy Ritchie and the studio needed to find actors of Middle Eastern descent to populate the film set in the fictional ancient kingdom of Agrabah, where a street urchin named Aladdin releases a blue genie from its lamp and using one of his three wishes transforms into a prince to woo the independent-minded Princess Jasmine. The producers issued a global casting call and Mena Massoud — born in Cairo, Naomi Scott with Egypt, but raised in the Toronto suburb of Mena Massoud in Aladdin Markham — sent in an audition tape. And waited, and waited some more. → MAY 2019 CINEPLEX MAGAZINE 33 → “The first tape was a shot in the dark. who they were looking for.

MAY 2019 CINEPLEX MAGAZINE 39 LTON JOHN HAS SAID ON MORE THAN ONE occasion that he should not be alive. The 72-year-old pop star didn’t just dabble in sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll, he dove in headfirst and was lucky to surface. So, when it came to making a bio-pic of his life, John wanted a film that would not only celebrate his memora- ble music, but also capture the craziness that surrounded his rise to stardom. It was that notion that excited Taron Egerton, the 29-year-old Welsh actor who was chosen to portray Elton John in Rocketman, directed by Dexter Fletcher (the same director who finished shooting Bohemian Rhapsody after Bryan Singer was fired). “Rocketman is sort of a musical fantasy on Elton’s life with some moments of psychedelia,” says Egerton on the line from London. “It was always the mandate that we were going to make something that was true to his experience and, frankly, I was never really inter- ested in doing another version of this. It’s about him recounting his life from the therapy room, so it would be wrong to not explore the darker aspects of his life. “At the same time, we want it to be a celebration of Ehis life in music so I hope people will find it joyous. But yeah, the story arc is of a man who nearly f--ks it all up.” The film sees musical prodigy Reginald Dwight (Elton John’s real name) encouraged by his mum From left: Lyricist (Bryce Dallas Howard) to follow his dream of mak- Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell) ing music.

It’s John’s growing addiction to drugs and alcohol, and the fact he has to hide his homosexuality — including his longterm relationship with manager John Reid No offense to Timberlake and Hardy, but Egerton really is (Richard Madden) — that nearly costs him his life. the perfect choice; not only does he bear a resemblance to the younger John, he can sing. It’s his voice you hear singing all the LIKE THE QUEEN BIO-PIC BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, songs in Rocketman. Rocketman took years to get off the ground. John announced “I feel that there is something of Elton in me, the capacity to be back in 2012 that he was developing a film about his life and quite a big personality,” says Egerton with a laugh. “That sort of wanted to be played by Justin Timberlake. When that didn’t pan juxtaposition of two extremes sort of exists within myself. And out Tom Hardy was cast in the role, and when he left the project, then there’s the musical element as well.
