Taron Egerton has given a rare insight into his family life as he shed light on his irreparable feelings towards his father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Kingsman: The Secret Service star, 36, appeared on the\u00a0Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard podcast where he discussed his estranged father David.\u00a0<\/p>\n
David, a Liverpudlian bed-and-breakfast owner and musician, split from Taron's social worker mother Christine when Taron was two, leading to the star being moved with his mother from his birthplace of Merseyside to Anglesey in Wales.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite admitting he was 'reluctant' to discuss the issue, he confessed: 'So there was a point where I pushed the ejector seat and haven't seen him since.'<\/p>\n
He stated that their relationship 'doesn't work': 'I'm reluctant to talk in too much detail about him because he's, you know, living his own life and doing his own thing and I'll always love him. I just don't think we work very well in terms of our relationship.'<\/p>\n
