See how the rapper and actor worked to star as the Mötley Crüe drummer in Netflix's The Dirt.

Machine Gun Kelly made a huge impact last year when he starred in Netflix's biopic of Mötley Crüe, The Dirt.

The US rapper and actor played the infamous drummer Tommy Lee in the series, which chronicled the life and times of the iconic 80s hair metal rock band.

Taking to Twitter, Kelly shared the daily make-up routine he endured for four months straight, which involved having his body sprayed to cover his tattoos, before having Tommy Lee's own inkings painted on top.
