The role of Johnny Rotten is played by Anson Boone, Sid Vicious is played by Louis Partridge, and drummer Paul Cooke is played by Jacob Slater.

Other relevant characters include (the late) Pamela Rooke (Maisie Williams), Wally Nightingale (Dylan Llewellyn), Nancy Spungen (Emma Appleton), Malcolm McLaren (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), and Vivienne Westwood (Talulah Riley), just to name a few.

Never mind the bollocks, here’s the release date – Pistol – May 31st

Of course, John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) was not happy about this series at all. He told Good Morning Britain that the entire thing was done behind his back.
