John Lydon, as his alter-ego Johnny Rotten, is the lead singer in The Sex Pistols, and one of the pioneers of punk music. But he also likes butter on his toast in the mornings.
Yes, hell has frozen over, and John Lydon, once the most revered punk on the British scene, is now advertising Country Life butter. It’s over guys, punk is officially dead.
The advert is actually quite funny, but the funniest thing of all is just the idea that a man who purports to hate commercialism is advertising butter. And he still dyes his hair.
I wonder how much money had to be put on the table for Lydon to completely ruin his reputation and become a butter seller? I guess that’s why they call it “filthy lucre”.
