Not interested in being a serious actor: Taron Egerton

"Legend" star Taron Egerton has no interest in becoming a serious actor as he thinks that would be too "boring".
The 27-year-old actor revealed that he wants to enjoy with the kinds of roles he takes, reported The Independent.
"I want to have fun. I'm not interested in being a serious actor because I think it's boring, and I think we've got plenty of them.
"So, I like to do stuff that has a sense of humour, and stuff that doesn't necessarily take itself too seriously. But, equally, now I'm also yearning for, maybe, exploring the dark side of life a little bit," he said.

Though, fun factor matters to Egerton the most, he says as an actor also it is important to be diverse.
"But, I think, the joy of the job is the diversity and the variety. And, if you're lucky enough, to have the freedom to do different things. I don't like the idea of a box, as well. It's nice to kind of defy the idea of a box."

He added: "If something appeals, something appeals. I don't think I'm particularly calculated about it. I know I have an alarm bell that goes off in my head where something feels like it has no creative integrity to it at all, and it's just about making money."

Meanwhile, the actor also admitted that he is "desperate" to star in a musical.
"I didn't go to drama school to be a musical theatre performer. I enjoyed it, but I didn't go to do that, I went to be an actor. So, I felt a little bit, not cheated, but a little bit miffed that my big chance was in the musical.
"That being said, now I'm desperate to do a musical, and I'm trying to find one. Or find someone who will let me do one. I mean, it's about someone presenting me with an opportunity really, but I'd bite their hand off if they did. I think it's about time we had some," he said.
