Hugh recently opened up about his thoughts on Taron, 26, possibly playing Han Solo in the next Stars Wars film.

“It’s big shoes to fill. Here is what I can tell you about Taron. After watching him in Kingsman and then seeing him on-set doing Eddie The Eagle, which Eddie The Eagle itself I would say there are very few actors who can pull that role off, but being able to do both, I think he’s capable of anything. By the way, if its a musical of Han Solo, he can sing too, and I am also Taron‘s agent.”
