The Jennifer Aniston and Mark Wahlberg Comedy-Drama You Didn't Realize Was Based on a True Story
Rock Star is inspired by the true story of Tim Ripper Owens, who went from no-name tribute artist to rock royalty frontman.
Everyone knows the classic image of a rock star: long hair, loud music, and a cavalier disregard for rules and conformity. Fewer people might know of Rock Star, the 2001 comedy drama about a tribute band singer who gets a chance to become the new frontman of his favorite band. The film was a box-office bomb, which explains its lack of presence in the cultural zeitgeist, despite featuring notable star power from its leads, Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston.
