Taron Egerton, despite his success in major films, revealed that his younger sisters remain indifferent toward his achievements. During his appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on July 29, the Rocketman actor explained that winning their admiration has proven difficult. However, he identified one way to impress his 12-year-old sister, Mary.
The Key to Getting Cool Points: Knowing Benson Boone
Egerton shared that Mary frequently asks if he knows Benson Boone, a popular male pop singer. The actor humorously described their phone conversations, saying,
“She’ll go ‘Do you know Benson Boone?’ And I’ll go, ‘No, I haven’t met Benson Boone since Thursday,’”
before adding,
“And she’s like, ‘OK … [it would] be good if you knew Benson Boone.’”
Clearly, familiarity with Boone is important to Mary and could finally help Egerton earn her respect.
Egerton Appeals Directly to Benson Boone
With his sister’s approval in mind, Egerton made a heartfelt request to the singer, saying,
“So, Benson Boone, if you are watching, please, please can me and my little sister come and see you in concert, because I’ll get cool points?”
This plea highlights Egerton’s determination to connect with his sister through shared interests.
Benson Boone’s Upcoming Tour Offers a Chance for Egerton and His Sister
Fortunately for Egerton, Benson Boone is scheduled to tour soon, providing multiple opportunities for him and Mary to attend a live show. Boone recently released his album American Heart, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Starting in August, Boone will tour across North America and Europe. His tour will culminate in a performance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December, the final race of the Formula 1 season.
Why This Matters for Egerton’s Family Bond
Egerton’s efforts to win his sister’s admiration by engaging with her favorite artist underscore how personal connections can matter more than fame. Seeing Boone live could help strengthen their sibling relationship and offer a rare moment of shared enthusiasm. With Boone’s busy tour schedule ahead, this may soon be a chance for Egerton to finally earn those elusive “cool points” with Mary.
