Taron Egerton takes a break from social media after 'addictive' habit

Hollywood star Taron Egerton is leaving social media after he said that he's found it "addictive". The Aberystwyth-raised actor, who is known for his roles in Elton John biopic, Rocketman and recent AppleTV show, Black Bird, said that he needed to "not read the thoughts of strangers for a while".

In a long post on Instagram Taron accompanied the statement with the caption: "Have a great rest of your year everyone. And if you're anything like me remember to leave your f*cking phone in the other room a bit more often." Over the past weekend the star of Kingsman shared clips and pictures of his visit to Glastonbury, where his on-screen Rocketman alter-ego Elton John closed the festival with his final ever UK show.
