Taron Egerton Reveals His Unscripted Kiss With Tom Hardy Was Cut From 'Legend'

Taron Egerton is opening up about a bold move he made on the set of“Legend”that almost nobody knew about until now. During a recent appearance on the“Armchair Expert”podcast, Egerton revealed that he improvised a kiss with his co-star Tom Hardy while filming the 2015 crime drama. The scene, which was ultimately cut from the final movie, happened because the director encouraged the actors to play around and try new things in the moment.

Egerton admitted he grabbed Hardy’s face and kissed him without warning, and he wasn’t sure how the famously intense actor would react. But according to Egerton, Hardy seemed to appreciate the confidence. He described the moment on the podcast, saying“I grabbed his face, and I snogged him. And it wasn’t in the script.”He also added that at the time, he believed Hardy respected the chutzpah it took to go for it.

The story gives fans a fun glimpse into how unpredictable movie sets can be, especially when you’re working with bigger-than-life personalities like Tom Hardy. Even though audiences never got to see that particular scene, it’s clearly a memory Egerton won’t forget. So, would you ever have the guts to improvise a moment like that on set, or would you stick to the script?
