I gotta disagree, bins. Sacha is a hell of a chamelion. I believe if anyone could pull it off , he could...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

This is a real fucking old story...like over a year ago...

And its been denied by Brian May several times...

He could pull off the look well enough, I guess. But can he sing?

Like Shaun said, it's been denied on several different levels...

Might work, though, given the opportunity...I think Cohen could probably act it well enough, but as to the singing, they'd be better to film him lipsyncing to Freddie, I think.

Agreed. For someone to act like him is one thing , to expect the actor to sing like him is another...

Shit , Borat even has the same dickbroom as Freddie!

Is There Anyone Else Who Could Play Freddie?

I think they're trying to get Johnny Depp.

But, I think he's too much of a pretty boy to play Freddie.
