I remember one night in Berlin, Lemmy spent the night with this old German prostitute and the next morning he came back with the moles on his face. It was the weirdest thing. We tried scrubbing them, burning them, bleaching them off, everything we could think of but those buggers simply wouldn’t budge!”
Preparing for his new role, Freeman has been tirelessly studying bass guitar along with a vocal coach attached to his hip 24-7, Morgan will also be providing all the vocals for the movie soundtrack.
