Here's a spoiler for you:

It's an interview w/ Rami Malek showing footage that isn't in the trailers - some of the actual Live Aid scenes that he shot.
He says he had choreographers at first but they couldn't help him, so he realized what he needed was a movement coach. While I'm sure she was able to help him in some ways, neither he nor Singer knew that what he really needed was a dance coach. The poor guy simply cannot dance. He simply has zero rhythm, looks stiff and incredibly awkward trying to mimic Freddie, so the stage performance is severely lacking.
I haven't seen the movie, but these clips show me his performance as Freddie on the Live Aid stage leaves much to be desired. It was hard for me to watch and now, thank goodness, I'm no longer excited about seeing the movie.

That is a well known clip from some while ago.. and for me, knowing every second of wueens live aid, it was pretty ok.. my gf wouldnt notice. Rami dances to much.. But cmon.. Freddie was something quite unique in everything. Looks, singing and movement.
I look forward hearing the music in cinema.. seeing rami: so far so good.

Malik's very weedy across the shoulders. He could have at least lifted a few weights in prep for wearing Fred's string vest.
