Never mind the bollocks… fleas have attacked Johnny Rotten’s penis.
The former Sex Pistols frontman, whose real name is John Lydon, reportedly admitted to UK tabloid Daily Star: “I looked down there this morning at my willy and there’s a f**king flea bite on it.”
The 64-year-old punk rocker blamed the intimate insect bite – and another on the inside of his leg – on squirrels he let into his home in Los Angeles.
In his book I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right, published last month, Lydon wrote about the rodents. “There’s no petting,” he explained. “If they want to nudge up that’s fine, but I know it's for a peanut and not because I’m lovely.”
Lydon told Daily Star how he has been soothing the itch of the flea bites. “The only way around it, because I’m not going to blame the poor little squirrels, is to Vaseline my legs,” he said.
“I just hope they don’t get the wrong idea.”
