Johnny Rotten to be played by JT?

(EZ-Tracks) - Punk star Johnny Rotten is in talks with Justin Timberlake to play him in an upcoming movie of his life. The former Sex Pistol, whose real name is John Lydon, has admitted he thinks the pop heartthrob would be perfect for the film, based Johnny's on autobiography, 'Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs'. "I want JustinTimberlake to do it. I know it sounds odd and the market he comes from is screaming teen girls, but he's just the kind of bloke who would really, really make an effort. He'd be a workhorse about it,” said Lydon. He added in an interview with Britain's Q magazine: "Discussions are in progress. It's from a line of true respect. "If Justin doesn't do the movie, the legendary rocker has also set his sights on 'Trainspotting' star Robert Carlyle or Hollywood actor Johnny Depp.

While my first instinct is to wince and scream “nooooooooooooooooo” at the top of my lungs, I can actually see this coming together in my minds own personal movie screen. Yes JT comes from a very wholesome background, and yes, he’s a former boy band singer who grew up in a red state. But he does do a mean English accent as one can attest from his cameos on Saturday Night Live, and he has started starring in some edgy films. It would definitely propel him to mega stardom if he could pull it off, and I definitely agree that he would put his 100% into the effort if chosen. Just please don’t let it be Johnny Depp, he’s too much of the “obvious choice” and is too old at this point to play the part with genuine abandon.
