As much as I think Freddie was damn talented, I think I'd be offended if someone thought I looked enough like him to portray him.
I know I'd be offended.

No, but part of me will still be upset that they thought I was that....ummm.....not attractive. I guess I could afford plastic surgery at that point. :)

Somebody had to think FM was hawt. He got a tainted hot beef injection

Sorry...I just pictured Borat trying to sing "Somebody to Love" in my head...

WOW!

Freddy Mercury Poisoning?



you owe me a new keyboard, a cup of ethiopian coffee, a new liver, and an infiniti G35.

[yermom]

it's totally tasteless, but hilarious :O

i'm really a big fan of Mr. Mercury, actually

[sanantoniosooner]

It makes you wonder if "under pressure" had an alternative meaning.

I think he was a pretty good looking dude and a great artist and performer. Okay, I admit I'd just let him have his way with me.

But not that Sacha dude!

[Okla-homey]

Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry were two of the greatest voices in pop music evar.

(Steve's not dead, but apparently he's got an agoraphobia problem which drove him offstage)

If Cohen can learn to lip synch convincingly, i bet they could make a super movie.

[sanantoniosooner]

You are familiar with Queen's music?

[Chuck Bao]

I think a few of Queen's songs will go down in history as some of the 20th century's best.

Another one Bites the Dust?

[King Crimson]

i'm a big fan of Brian May.

[LittleWingSooner]

[StoopTroup]

Those are pretty good. Cohen does have the look of Freddie Mercury but I'm not sure he can play him. Depp can pull it off with his acting skills.
