I personally think this is great.
If anybody can pull off playing Freddie Mercury it is definitely Sacha Baron Cohen .
And it doesn't hurt that they look alike.

    I believe Sasha might do a really good job. He's kinda got the look in a way (though I think he's a lot taller maybe?) but if he's looking for a good serious acting gig, he's about to get it.

    Very Cool!
  • I think he's been trying to be seen in a more serious light. This would certainly do it. He was great in Sweeny Todd.

    I was just wondering if he had done anything serious. Never saw Sweeny Todd, but now I'm interested to see how he can act in a less comedic setting.
