To the delight of LGBTQ fans, Kingsman actor Taron Egerton might have just come out on Instagram.
On Sunday, the actor (who's playing Elton John in the upcoming Rocketman biopic) posted a photo of a mystery man to his Instagram with the caption, "Cutie. My boy," with a heart emoji.
Fans quickly took over the comments with supportive replies like, "#LOVEISLOVE," and, "OH GOD 20GAYTEEN GOT EVEN BETTER."
According to OUT, when someone in the comments asked the name of the guy in the photograph, Egerton replied, "nah, he's mine and mine only." He also liked a comment that read, "does that mean he's got a boyfriend now?"
