Movies - Borat Is Queen

Via Spin Magazine:

"Looks like Sacha Baron Cohen's gonna need to grow that Borat stache; the British comedian, best known for his film "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," is set to star in a biopic of the band Queen. Baron Cohen will play the band's front man, Freddy Mercury, who bears a resemblance to the comedian.

Apparently, Johnny Depp was also up for the role but Baron Cohen won by a nose (pun intended). The film will show the wild life of the gay rock-star who partied until he contracted AIDS and died at age 45. "

UPDATE: Cohen's publicist recently told MTV News that the rumors were untrue. Oh well, back to the Johnny Depp rumor, I think Sacha Baron Cohen would have made a great Freddy Mercury personally.
