“It didn’t take long to shoot but there are days when you’re completely… as an actor, the isolation, on your own sort of falling to certain places in your head where you are used to being with the boys and being part of a gang and it being all fun and laughs and stuff. Booth revealed that the scenes where Nikki was inebriated were some of the hardest to shoot, and brought him to a pretty bleak place. That meant not only being able depict his highs – like performing on stage – but also his lows. “We set ourselves with a goal to be able to play the songs properly,” said Booth.ġ1 Images While research and confidence with the instruments were important facets of the role, none of that would have mattered if Booth couldn’t convincingly portray Nikki Sixx. Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe’s drummer and founding member) and Nikki Sixx also offered their assistance.
They would practice for ten hours a day each cast member had a coach helping them get better at playing the songs. We had two intense weeks of… beginning to get my head around holding the, getting blisters on my fingers.” That was before Booth and the rest of the cast flew to New Orleans for a four-week band camp. "Netflix flew out a musician to London and he actually lived with me for two weeks.

He’d be in his hotel room and be like ‘OK, these are the chords here’ and he’d just send me over all of this stuff, so I had a lot to work with.” Booth noted that the actors also had “a very generous amount of time, in movie terms," to get to grips with their characters. He’d send me little guitar, little bass lessons on text when he was on the road or traveling. There was a wealth of reading materials, video material study his mannerisms – the way he talked. You’re playing him back then.' I had to be very much aware of how much he’s changed." In terms of preparation, Booth said, “I had the script. “As soon as I left his house, the director said ‘this is a very different person than who you’re going to be playing in this movie. But then this really warm, inviting, kind man opened the door and made me feel so comfortable." Booth admitted that Nikki’s calm demeanor was a stark contrast to who he used to be.
I read The Dirt and I was nervous because he is such a notorious character. “I didn’t know who was going to open the door - because obviously I had read so much about him. “I remember when I went to house before we started shooting,” Booth told IGN over the phone in a recent interview.
The first step was actually meeting Nikki Sixx. To shed some light on the subject, IGN recently spoke with Douglas Booth about his role as Nikki Sixx, a founding member of the band, and what it took to transform into a rock star. A large part of The Dirt’s appeal is tied to its cast, each of whom worked hard to provide a proper level of authenticity: Colson Baker, Iwan Rheon, Douglas Booth, Daniel Webber had a collective goal to become Mötley Crüe - an obvious desire but not an easy one to achieve.
