Punk star Johnny Rotten is in talks with Justin Timberlake to play him in an upcoming movie of his life. The former Sex Pistol, real name John Lydon, has revealed he thinks the pop heartthrob would be perfect for the film, based on Johnny's autobiography, 'Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs'.
He explained: "I want Jason (sic) Timberlake 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.
" 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 Johnny added: "Timberlake or Robert Carlyle Or Johnny Depp, who's a great mate He might do it Or me I might!"
