Tom Hardy says he’s wearing Elton John’s clothes as prep for biopic “Rocketman”

“When I play a real person, I like to have bits of them. Since I can’t take physical body parts and sever those, I try and grab as much ‘kit’ off them as possible… Then you can sell it on eBay.”
– Tom Hardy, who’ll play Elton John in the forthcoming biopic Rocketman, discussing how he gets in character with the New York Post

Sorry, couldn’t find a pic of Tom Hardy wearing any of Elton’s clothes – so I thought this would work.
