Sacha Baron Cohen ("Borat") is set to play Freddie Mercury in a new Queen biopic. What I didn't know, and what seems obvious now, is that Cohen based his Borat look on Mercury.
you of all people know how i feel about Freddie Mercury. as much as you like Tom Waits, that's how i feel about Freddie Mercury - if not more so. in fact, i'm listening to him right now - a cd that was put together by Brian May called "lover of life, singer of songs"; got it at phonoluxe. it was put out after his death. however, i just can't picture borat playing him - i'd just see borat playing the fool as in his movies and such. they do look similar but just don't know if i could see sasha cohen playing freddie without seeing borat instead. anyway - that's my opinion. love - mom
