Rami Malek on Fresh Air

I've been listening to this show, Fresh Air, for about 25 years. The interviewer, Terri Gross, is really good. In fact, her interview with Brian May is also fantastic and is on this forum somewhere.

This interview with Malek gives some insight into the film, and also into Malek, himself. It seems his drive and experiences might have been similar to Freddie's, Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing :)

Great article. I have a dinosaur smart phone so the link didn't show up. Any body record this?

I hate to be the old Luddite but i think I'm way behind on these things without a good place to work with.

I'll check it out on another browser but it'd be nice if someone recorded it

Thank you for sharing. Love Rami's voice.
Interesting that Rami's saying that it was his voice cracking in the Bohemian Rhapsody scene and Freddie's vocals were used for the rest of the song. Actually the majority of the vocals were Freddie's accordingly to this interview.

Matt: It is also available on the NPR Fresh Air podcast.

Great interview! Thanks.

Also, on the Rami interview page, if you scroll down you will find the link to Brian’s 2010 interview.
