“Mr. Robot” star Rami Malek has been cast to play Freddie Mercury in the upcoming Queen biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” and now we are getting our first look at him in character.
Rami has given an interview with “Entertainment Weekly,” and they debuted the first picture of him as the famous rock star, and apparently even he was impressed the first time he saw himself in full hair and makeup.
“When you’re able to open your eyes and see a different person staring back at you in the mirror, it’s a very affirming moment," he says. “Resembling the legendary musician only adds to the level of confidence that one would need to play Freddie Mercury."
The picture was released on what would have been Freddie’s 71st birthday.
