Following along while director Adam Shankman casts his Rock of Ages movie has been like seating a dinner party for a who’s who of Hollywood: So far, everyone from Mary J. Blige to Tom Cruise to Alec Baldwin and Julianne Hough have signed on for the hot-hot-hot flick, which begins shooting May 19 in Miami and will hit theaters next year. And now, meet the show’s leading man: Diego Boneta, who you might have seen recently on The CW’s 90210 or ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars. Boneta will play Drew, a budding musician who falls for a small-town girl (Hough) who shows up on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and expresses his emotions through songs from ’80s hair-metal songs. EW caught up with Ages director Shankman, who talked about casting Boneta, putting Cruise through rock-star boot camp, and why he didn’t choose Constantine Maroulis — who originated the role on Broadway — to be Drew.
