Justin Timberlake starring as Johnny Rotten

70s boy band star to be played by 90s boy band star.

John Lydon wants Justin Timberlake to play him in the forthcoming film version of his autobiography. The former Sex Pistol, known as Johnny Rotten in his punk heyday, said Timberlake had agreed to the request provided Lydon stays away from the film set.

I'm rather amused by the idea. C'mon, Johnny asked for him!

i have to admit...i hated Justin Timberlake for no reason but then I saw him on Saturday Night Live where i thought he was hysterical. He seems like a great actor/performer. I'm not going to hold it against him that I can't stand the type of music he sings. I say good for him.

No way is that real. That's just him trying to show how awesomely dangerous and anti-establishment he is. Justin's request for him to stay away from the set? Yeah, i'm sure.

We all know Justin was born to play Elton John:

I think Mr. Lydon is taking it upon himself to look attractive in some way or other, for once!

Wow... I don't know what to say to this... I'll see it just so I have a good chuckle before the inevitable opening of the Gates of Hell.

I'll have to agree with you. I hated him before and I hate him now. However he did do a hell of a job on Saturday Night Live, I got to give it up to him for that. Besides, why am I not surprised to hear that Lydon requested him? It sucks. But its funny as hell and he probably just did it to piss peolple off.

I'm not even a fan of the guy and I think it's wrong... fuck they should just get Gary Oldman, he already played Sid once and did it well... let him do Johnny next and pretty soon he'll have acted as every member of Sex Pistols.

But sweet jebus, not a guy from N'Snyc, no matter how good of an actor he is!

I think it's hysterical that John asked for Justin Timberlake. John Lydon is anything but pretty, so the fact that he demanded some cookie cutter pop-star to play him is down right farcical. Go John! Amusing till the end.
