Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen died within two years of meeting each other (Picture: Getty Images)Sid Vicious\u2019 close friend, model Jordan Mooney, has described Nancy Spungen as the \u2018worst person he could have met\u2019 as she opened up about how she wants him to be remembered.
\nThe Sex Pistols star and his girlfriend famously had a dangerously co-dependent relationship, and died within two years of meeting each other.
\nLooking back on her friendship with the star, punk icon and model Jordan, who\u2019s consulting on Danny Boyle\u2019s series about the band, said she wants people to remember his kind side.
\n\u2018He was somebody who had a lot of faces to him,\u2019 she told Metro.co.uk. \u2018To me he always came across as a very naive person, probably very sexually naive as well [\u2026]\n\u2018But he was a very kind person, Sid, and his temper got the better of him a lot, that temper, that\u2019s just temper, flashing temper. But I was a really good friend of his. He was a very kind man.
\n\u2018We used to stay up all night at the flat at Buckingham Gate, the famous flat where everybody stayed up, and we went horse riding in Hyde Park together. And he borrowed something from me once without asking, but he put something of his in place of it to swap over when he brought it back to me.
\n\u2018He\u2019s not really what people think he is.\u2019<\/p>\n
Jordan opened up about her friendship with the Sex Pistols (Picture: Getty Images)Jordan went on: \u2018I\u2019m a great believer that you do have to take responsibility for what you do \u2013 you can\u2019t blame other people for falling into the wrong crowd, that sort of thing. You just have to really, truly take control of your life [\u2026]\n\u2018Unfortunately, New York was the worst place he could have gone, and Nancy Spungen probably the worst person he could have met with.\u2019
\nVicious, whose real name was John Simon Ritchie, died in 1979 from a drug overdose.
\nHe is being depicted in Danny Boyle\u2019s series Pistol by Louis Partridge, who\u2019s set to appear alongside the likes of Ansoon Boon (Johnny Rotten), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Malcolm McLaren) and Maisie Williams (Jordan). <\/p>\n
Danny Boyle\u2019s upcoming series focuses on the lives of the Sex Pistols and punk pioneers (Picture: Redferns)While many of the remaining Sex Pistols are on board with the series, John Lydon (formerly known as Johnny Rotten) has branded it \u2018disrespectful\u2019.
\nHowever, Jordan wasn\u2019t surprised by his response.
\n\u2018He just, true to form \u2013 everybody knew what he would do,\u2019 she said. \u2018I spoke to Danny and everyone and they already knew he would put some breakers up on this. This is just my point of view \u2013 not anybody else\u2019s \u2013 but if he had been involved, it would just never have got done, so best do without him.
\n\u2018He\u2019s so\u2026I guess narcissistic, everything revolves around him. Everyone in his life has always told him how wonderful he is and, of course, he believes that. He\u2019s a product of his own hype. So nothing would have ever been right unless it had been just him. This isn\u2019t the story of just him \u2013 this is the story of punk.
\n\u2018It\u2019s not just aimed at English, British people who were there, it\u2019s to go to the world. It\u2019s not the John Lydon story.\u2019
\nJordan, who previously opened up about the advice she gave Game of Thrones star Maisie about portraying her, has been advising on makeup and costume to ensure everything is accurate.

\u2018I\u2019ve been working with costume, the historical side of it- how things were made and I\u2019m very, very impressed as well about how nothing\u2019s too much trouble,\u2019 she pointed out. \u2018They really want to make it as authentic as possible considering there\u2019s decades gone and none of these clothes sort of exist in reality anymore.
\n\u2018I\u2019ve visited the SEX shop sets that they\u2019ve done, interior and exterior, and they\u2019ve gone to enormous lengths to make that look so authentic. And they\u2019ve even made a street, St John\u2019s Wood, three or four shops that surrounded the SEX shop \u2013 they\u2019ve made that absolutely spot on.\u2019
\nMetro.co.uk has contacted reps for John Lydon for comment.
\nPistol is currently in production.
