Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has never shied away from the acting scene. From guest appearances on Nurse Jackie to roles in This Is 40 and Like Sunday, Like Rain to a stint in American Idiot on Broadway, the frontman has displayed his many awesome talents over the years.
October 14 marks an important day in Armstrong's career: the release of his first lead role on the silver screen.

Ordinary World, which stars Armstrong as an aging punk rocker settling into famly life, originally debuted as Geezer at Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. However, as posted on Green Day's socials, Geezer is now Ordinary World and will release October 14 under Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Content Group (via Deadline).
October 14 will be Ordinary World's “day-and-date” release, which, according to Loudwire, means that the film will hit theaters and retailers on the same day.
Two-thirds of Green Day played a surprise show at Geezer's Tribeca premiere, featuring Joan Jett (watch footage from that here). One of the songs they played, “Ordinary World,” not only stole the movie's title—but is also featured as the last track on Green Day's forthcoming album Revolution Radio.
Check out Green Day playing “Ordinary World” at Tribeca below, and grab Revolution Radio October 7 via Reprise Records.
