Who plays who in Netflix’s Mötley Crüe movie The Dirt
In the ’80s, glam-metal band Mötley Crüe rose to international stardom and became poster boys for the hedonism of the rock star lifestyle. Now, all of their sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll will be put to screen in the Netflix original film The Dirt (based on the band’s autobiography of the same name), helmed by Jackass director Jeff Tremaine.
From the trailer, it seems like the film has accurately captured the giant hair, eyeliner, and tight pants of the era. Check out the cast below, side-by-side with the real-life figures they portray.

Thanks to that role as Romeo, Booth has practice dying on screen, which will come in handy as Sixx, who famously was declared legally dead for two full minutes in an ambulance before being revived with adrenaline shots.
