Anson Boon (“1917”) plays John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon, who has been vocal about not approving this project. He event went so far was to attempt to prevent it from happening. Louis…

Her co-stars do their best to make light of the situation, while she, unphased, has some of the crew literally tape her pants back up. You can…
