Unleash the flavor!
Former Sex Pistol and current Public Image Ltd frontman John Rotten Lydon is going underground, of sorts, voicing a character in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Nickelodeon’s latest reimagining of the iconic franchise that bows Monday, Sept. 17 at 6:30pm (ET/PT).
Lydon lends his unmistakable vocals to new character Meat Sweats. He’s an erstwhile celebrity chef (think Gordon Ramsay), who got bit by a mosquito and is now a crazed power-hungry mutant pig who scours the scene underneath NYC looking for the perfect living ingredients for his diabolical recipes, including Turtle Soup! In other words, Sweats is the latest menace to take on the band of pizza-loving heroes in a half shell.
Although Lydon is on the road promoting new doc The Public Image Is Rotten and prepping for the new PiL tour, which starts Oct. 9 in New Orleans, he did pause to embody his new character for Billboard. “Meat taught me everything,” he says. “Now to trap a turtle!”
