Sacha Baron Cohen to play Freddie Mercury

Sacha Baron Cohen is set to play Queen frontman Freddie Mercury – how awesome is that?

The film about Freddie Mercury and Queen is to start production next year and is not yet titled.

The band’s story will be told from the time they formed to their unforgettable 1985 Live Aid performance. [Video of Freddie Mercury and Queen's Live Aid performance below.]

I’m a huge fan of Freddie Mercury and Queen and can’t think of anyone else who is more suited to play the part of Mercury. It won’t take much to make Sacha Baron Cohen look like Freddie Mercury, either. Some prosthetic teeth to create that famous overbite, a 70′s mustache, a ball hugging pair of jeans and a tight wife beater and he’s all set. The singing part, now that might be a bit more challenging…

Freddie Mercury died November 24th, 1991. The world lost an amazingly talented man that day. I cannot wait to see this film.

    That will be awesome! It’s about time they made a movie about him – I’m sure he’ll do something cool with it.
