Sacha Baron Cohen to play Freddie Mercury?

Sacha Baron Cohen will play Freddie Mercury in a big screen adaptation of Freddie Mercury's life, it has been claimed.

The Borat and Ali G comedian has apparently been approached about taking on the role of the iconic star, as producers beginning casting for the movie.

Borat's image and looks were apparently inspired by the Queen singer and Baron Cohen is said to have been chosen ahead of Johnny Depp for the part.

An "insider" said: "Film makers are working flat out to get the best possible script. Sacha loves the idea he can get away with playing Freddie after modelling Borat's look on him."

Freddie Mercury died in 1991 at the age of 45 after losing his battle against an AIDS-related illness.

Would it be in bad taste to say that Sacha Baron Cohen can look like a dead ringer for Freddie Mercury?

Sacha (in his Borat issue swimsuit).

Freddie Mercury (w/mustache).

I think Freddie was pretty prolific at putting bad tastes in guys' mouths...

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

well, Cohen showed he can take balls to the face as Borat, so he could probably pull playing FM
