Connor, who portrayed young Elton John in the 2019 film Rocketman, appeared noticeably bulkier and rugged, wearing jeans, a white T-shirt, and chunky boots. His transformation prompted reactions on social media, with fans joking about his dramatic new look and noting that he was barely recognizable from his outfit and beard.

Observers have speculated that Connor’s appearance may be linked to upcoming acting projects, including a potential role in Romeo + Juliet or the film A Long Winter. His rugged style fits seamlessly within the gathering of prominent LGBTQ+ figures from the worlds of theatre and film, highlighting a moment of camaraderie among high-profile performers.

The dinner group reflects Elton John’s continued influence and close ties within the entertainment industry, particularly with actors and musicians connected to the LGBTQ+ community. Connor’s transformation is the latest example of actors making bold physical changes for upcoming roles, which often become points of discussion among fans and entertainment media alike.

The photograph has since circulated widely on social platforms, sparking fan interest not only in Connor’s appearance but also in the possible projects he may be preparing for.
