Stardust has found its David Bowie!
It’s been announced that Johnny Flynn has signed on to play the iconic entertainer in the upcoming biopic.
The 35-year-old actor/musician joins Jena Malone and Marc Maron in the film that tracks Bowie’s rise as a superstar – starting with his first trip to American in 1971, which inspired the creation of his iconic alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Bowie sadly passed away in January 2016 after a battle with cancer.
Emmy winner Gabriel Range will be directing the film with a script by Christopher Bell.
Johnny is best known for his roles on Netflix’s Lovesick and NatGeo’s Genius.
Production for Stardust is set to begin in June 2019.
