Queen front man, Freddie Mercury, is one of the most celebrated musicians in history. With his impressive voice and complicated yet catchy musical compositions, Mercury is beloved by one and all, so of course Hollywood wants to make a biopic of his life!
While a biopic sound fantastic, the thought of BORAT’s Sacha Baron Cohen portraying the famed singer has us worried whether Cohen is able to take on the dramatic role of the Persian-born front man who is responsible for the insanely catchy and unforgettable “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
Any fears we had were comforted by the fact that famed director Tom Hooper has supposedly signed on to direct the biopic! Hooper is known for 2010’s Oscar-winner for Best Picture, THE KING’S SPEECH and this year’s multiple Oscar-winner, LES MISERABLES.
With Hooper attached to the project, we feel safe knowing that the biopic will do Freddie Mercury justice, though we are still a teeny bit worried about Sacha Baron Cohen taking on such an important role, even though he does look very much like Mercury!
