After years of standing firm on his punk ideals, Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten has appeared in his first television commercial for ― wait for it ― Country Life British Butter.
The 52-year-old singer, born John Lydon, appears in the 30-second spot wearing a tweed suit and running around the countryside.
“People know I only do things that I want to or that I believe in and I have to do it my way,” Lydon told Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. “I’ve never done anything like this before and never thought I would, but this ad was made for me and I couldn’t resist the opportunity.”
The ad reportedly cost $9-million, possibly making it Rotten’s biggest swindle yet. ―Aidin Vaziri
