In case you hadn't noticed, music nostalgia is big business right now. Bohemian Rhapsody was a major commercial success in addition to racking up a number of awards, and it's just the beginning of a music movie boom. Later this year, Rocketman will give us a fantastical look at Elton John's early career — but there's another rock-n-roll story on the horizon, and it's on Netflix. The Dirt, a new Netflix movie, is a semifictionalized account of the rise of the band Mötley Crüe. The four rock icons who founded the band are being played by a quartet of rising stars.
Ahead, check out the stars of the movie and compare them to their real-life counterparts — then see what the original rockers look like today.
