Anson Boon is "excited" to hear John Lydon's reaction to his portrayal of the Sex Pistols frontman in new Disney+ drama series Pistol.
The 22-year-old actor revealed to Yahoo Entertainment UK that he was "chuffed to bits" when Lydon vowed to actually watch Danny Boyle's six-part series, having previously dismissed it as a "middle class fantasy".
Boon said it wasn't a surprise for Lydon to speak out against the project — not least in the wake of an unsuccessful lawsuit he filed, attempting to prevent Sex Pistols music being used in the show.
