Green Day frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong is staring in new film ‘Ordinary World’, as an aging punk rocker.
Armstrong will star alongside Judy Greer, Selma Blair, Dallas Roberts, Fred Armisen, Brian Baumgartner and Kevin Corrigan. According to Deadline, the frontman will play the part of Perry who “leads a sedate life in Queens until his brother (Chris Messina) gives him money to throw a huge 40th birthday rockstar bash in a fancy Manhattan hotel — a chance to get it out of his system. But Perry’s punk past clashes with his middle-age reality.”
Green Day, who are set to release their new album in October, have talked about how video games are becoming even more violent. In a recent interview with Kerrang, bassist Mike Drint said “My kids are going to grow up seeing things that I never saw, like Mixed Martial Arts. When that first came out, people were ‘Oh fuck, that’s fucking violent.’ And now they play it on TV in restaurants. I’m supposed to eat and watch this shit wherever I go? Nothing makes me hungrier than watching two guys in weenie bikinis kicking the shit out of each other.” the bassist then added “Video games are different now too. You’re actually in there shooting and killing people. And that’s got to take a toll, but I don’t have the solutions.”
