Reading Georgiou's list of wigs it took to bring the characters in Rocketman to life reads like a recipe, only a little hairier:
- Four wigs for Egerton (for John)
- Three wigs for Jamie Bell (for Bernie Taupin)
- Three wigs for Howard (for Sheila Dwight)
- Three wigs for Gemma Jones (for Ivy)
- One wig for Richard Madden (for John Reid)
- One wig for Stephen Graham (for Dick James)
- One wig for Tate Donovan (for Doug Weston)
- Four wigs for John's band
- Three wigs for John's second band
- Countless sideburns and facial hair wigs
For anyone counting, that totals a whopping 23 hair wigs — and likely double that number for sideburns and facial hair. And that's just the central cast! "My supporting [hair and makeup] artist supervisor had hundreds of other wigs applied daily to the supporting artists too," Georgiou said.
