On the comedy podcast, Egerton went on to describe his Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kingsman: The Golden Circle co-star Colin Firth as a “fatherly figure”.

The films – released in 2014 and 2017 – saw Egerton play Gary “Eggsy” Unwin, while Firth played his mentor Harry Hart.

Egerton admitted that while filming the movies, director Matthew Vaughn threatened to let him go because of his partying.

He said: “Colin was amazing. I remember I was going through a difficult time. I broke up with my first girlfriend and I was like really aggressively partying to deal with it and was coming in, in like a bad way.

“I remember there were a couple of days on Kingsman where Matt was like, ‘you’re going home. I can’t film you today’.”

Egerton said it was Firth who was “fatherly and understanding”.

He added: “He was always lovely to me. When he saw the movie, I always remember what he texted me. He said, ‘you are note perfect’. He’s such a generous, kind man.”

The actor said he would love to make another instalment of the film series because it “would be fun to get to ride with Colin once more”.

After raising to fame in the Kingsman films, Egerton voiced Johnny the gorilla and sang Elton John’s I’m Still Standing in the animated movie Sing in 2016, before taking on the role of Sir Elton himself in 2019.

He said: “Singing is a big thing in Wales, so I did choir stuff in school. Loved singing.

“I was introduced to music very young, there was always music being played.”
