Actor Taron Egerton assured fans he was "completely fine" after collapsing in front of audiences attending his new play on Saturday night.

Egerton fainted mid-performance while he was on stage for the revival of the 2009 play, C*ck–which began previews at the Ambassadors Theatre in London.

Deadline reported the curtain came down following the startling incident and an in-house doctor tended to the 32-year-old actor, best known for 2019's Elton John biopic, Rocketman and the Kingsmen series of films.

After about 40-minutes, the play's director, Marianne Elliott, came up on stage and assured everyone Egerton was doing "absolutely fine" backstage but said he was unable to finish the performance.

His understudy Joel Harper-Jackson–who filled in for Egerton for the remainder of the show–later said replacing him was “an absolute privilege."



On Sunday morning, Egerton took to social media to update fans on his progress.

“As some of you may have heard, I passed out during the first performance of C*CK last night,” he wrote. “I am completely fine. Slightly sore neck and a bruised ego but I’m fine.”

"I've decided to put a positive spin on it and I would appreciate it if anyone who was in the theatre last night just said that I gave such a committed, electrifying performance that my body couldn't handle it and checked out," he quipped.

Egerton continued:

"That being said, apparently you're meant to actually do the full show and not just three quarters of it."
"So I'll be back with a vengeance tomorrow [Monday] night."

Fans gave him some love.


C*ck is about a man identifying as "gay" who becomes ambivalent about his sexuality when he meets and falls in love with a woman during a commute.

The play also stars Quadrophenia’s Phil Daniels and Jade Anouka, known for her work in the BBC adaptation of His Dark Materials.

Previews resumed on Monday, and the scheduled 12-week run of the show will officially open on March 15.

Dem Senator Drops F-Bomb In Fiery Video After Trump Calls For Congressional Democrats To Be Hanged

Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said "maybe it's time to pick a f**king side" in response to President Donald Trump's call for a group of congressional Democrats who are military veterans to be executed after they reminded U.S. troops that they must disobey unlawful orders.

Senators Elissa Slotkin (Michigan) and Mark Kelly (Arizona) joined Representatives Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan (Pennsylvania), Maggie Goodlander (New Hampshire), and Jason Crow (Colorado), all of whom are veterans. In a video message, they noted that the Trump administration is "pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens."

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know until someone shows it to you in a TikTok video.

For instance, a person might not know about the possibility of having an astigmatism, which is an ocular condition that causes blurriness in vision, and the blurriness worsens with bright, contrasting lights. Blurring taillights at night, especially when it's raining, is a common occurrence among those with astigmatism.
