OHMYGOSSIP — Taron Egerton will quit ‘Robin Hood’ if he has to wear tights. The 27-year-old actor wants his version of the heroic outlaw – who he will portray in a 2018 origins story – to have a “rock ‘n’ roll” edge and won’t be donning the tight-fitting green garments traditionally associated with the character. He said: “The moment someone presents me with a pair of tights, I’m calling it quits. “It’s going to have a rock ‘n’ roll quality to it. “I’m not sure that anybody has completely nailed Robin Hood yet. I’m quietly hoping this is the one that’s going to get it right – and it’s going to do it without any tights.” Tarin – who admits his Robin is “highly flawed and not even that likeable” – was hesitant to even look at the script for the movie as he wasn’t sure whether there was a “need” for a new take on the tale. He admitted to Total Film magazine: “When I was first sent the script I was hesitant to even engage with it. “I think there’s a very large question mark over whether the world needs another ‘Robin Hood’. “But it’s completely revisionist. Very dark and very character-driven. “It’s fairly unrecognisable as a period film.” The ‘Kingsman’ actor stars alongside Jamie Foxx as Little John in the movie, and promised their friendship makes the film worth watching. He teased: “The dynamic between those characters in this is really interesting. “And I can’t imagine anyone better in the role. It’s all pretty exciting at the moment.”
