Aidan Gillen channelling Johnny Rotten?


His mannerisms, speech patterns and dentistry suggested John Lydon to me, as far as Gillen deliberately styling the Weiss character after him.

LOL! I thought i was the only one who thought that while i was watching the movie! I guess not....

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

Sorry, I've not been here for a while. Thanks for the reply.

I was surprised that it wasn't mentioned in any reviews I'd read nor on this message board and ended up thinking I was the only one too. Aiden must have been doing that, even if we really are the only ones who've noticed it. The impersonation is uncannily close.

What a great character though. From gelling his hair with vomit to bathing in the glare of Papparazzi like journalists. His funky little shimmy was perfect!

Terrible things Lawrence. You've done terrible things.
