Post up your questions for Hugh and Taron before 5pm on Thursday 17th March and we’ll be putting the questions to them later in the week. The interview will be filmed so you can watch Hugh and Taron answering your questions on Mumsnet YouTube channel next week.
EDDIE THE EAGLE is a feel-good story about Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Taron Egerton), an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself – even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.
HUGH JACKMAN is an Academy Award-nominated, Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning performer. From his adamantium claw-wielding Wolverine in the blockbuster X-Men franchise, to his award winning performance as Jean Valien in Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables. Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time.
TARON EGERTON starred as the lead role of Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin Kingsman: The Secret Service, opposite Colin Firth, Michael Caine and Samuel L Jackson.
And last year he played Edward ‘Mad Teddy’ Smith opposite Tom Hardy in the biopic about the Kray twins. Egerton was nominated for the Rising Star Award at the BFI London Film Festival, has just been named one of the “30 under 30” list in Forbes magazine and has been nominated for this year’s BAFTA EE Rising Star Award.
