This week sees the release of Matthew Vaughn’s latest film Kingsman: The Secret Service. The story follows Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin, who comes from the mean streets of London but ends up being part of a team of elite spies intent on saving the world.
The transformation of Eggsy is a crucial part of the film, and Taron Egerton in the lead role makes it look easy. We see him learn the tricks of the trade and battle bad guys just like his suave and sophisticated mentor Harry Hart (Colin Firth).
All week, i’ve been trying to emulate the stars of the film by training to become a Kingsman. I’ve had a proper shave, with a cut-throat razor. I’ve been fitted for a custom made suit. I’ve even picked my own puppy to train and keep me company. Now comes the hardest part for a geezer like me… elocution lessons.
Much like Eggsy, I’m from the mean streets of London, so speaking proper “like” is against my nature. I gave it a go though, and once that was completed I actually did feel more like a gentleman.
I guess its true what they say… “Manners Maketh Man!”
