Elton's a good sport doing this. It's beautifully written to have the interviewer fixating on one main thing and not letting it lie. Both show great comedic timing. :-)
It's crazy that an actor with such a perfect diction and such a great comedic timing created a character who barely speaks at all. Rowan Atkinson, we love you!
Elton John was great for acting like a man slowly losing his composure and wishing to strangle the interviewer. And at the end it looks like the prop gun didn't fire so he had to improvise "Bang" while suppressing laughter at Rowan Atkinson's death acting.
Just pure comedic genius...his drunk father-in-law speech at a wedding might be the first time I peed a little from laughing. If not it was the headmaster doing roll call at private school
Elton John seem to be a really shy guy. My father met him during his concert tour in Singapore. Claims that he’s really warm and friendly in every respect. He seems so nervous.
