Tom Hardy has been named as the man who will play gay royalty Elton John, in an upcoming biopic, Rocketman, of the singer's life, which is due to start filming in late 2014.

It is unknown at this time whether Tom can sing, play the piano, or throw a diva strop but when you've got a purdy face like Tom's who cares!

David Furnish, Elton's husband is the producer of the film.

A press release to announce Tom's casting described the film:

Much like the man himself, Rocketman is a larger-than-life movie musical spectacle that tells the story of a child prodigy turned music legend.

We can't wait.

According to a recent poll of Gaydar users, Tom's lips were voted as the most attractive.
