For years we have heard that Sacha Baron Cohen was doing a movie about the legendary singer Freddie Mercury and then we heard it wasn’t happening. Today when he was on Howard Stern‘s radio show, the host wanted to know what happened.
The Shock Jock heard it was because they were going to go into the nitty gritty of his life, but Borat explained it was more than that. He claims that he should’ve known that things were going to go bad when he first met the band. He says that one of the members felt that their leader should die midway through movie. What? He then explained that that band member believed the second half of the film should be how the show went on for Queen after Mercury’s death.
Seriously, did Queen really go on without Freddie? They pretty much died the same day. To me, Queen was always Freddie Mercury and without him they are nothing.
Now having said that, I am so thrilled that they killed the biopic. As much as I love Mercury. I detest Cohen. He is no Freddie Mercury.
