actually if he's trying to be a serious actor this is a GREAT movie for him. this will stretch him no doubt. and he DOES look like Freddie somewhat. the make up will make him a dead ringer. glad some casting agent could see past Borat

He hasn't shown any serious acting; i hope he can pull it off.

He's a great comedy actor for sure; a genius actually in that area.

He's gonna have to do sex scenes with men if the bio is realistic becuase freddie slept around ALOT and used to get bj's before he went on stage

close enough for me...i don't think looking like someone is the key to successfully pulling off a bio performance. its all about embodying the dynamic of the real life person. does anyone really think anthony hopkins looked like richard nixon?

I saw that for the first time the other day. He'd be a great choice I think, well, looks-wise.

...I thought Brian May heard this rumour and said 'no way biiitches!'??

Eh, I'm not gonna bitch...yet. At least they tried. Ok so are they going to get him to lip sync, or is he going to try and sing also?

I think Sacha could surprise everybody, He's a decent actor and does resemble Freddy. This could be a breakout role for him if he does it right.

I agree with you!!!! I think Sacha can pull it off.
