Who Could Play Freddie Mercury in a Movie?

Paddy Considine could play Jim Hutton.

Also, I don't think we should get too hung up on perfect physical resemblances. We're talking about ACTORS after all; they can act it.

Of course, we could do nontraditional casting and Freddie could be played by Cher. :)

Sean connery offcourse

John Cusack: they are both brilliant

Robert Smith of the Cure should be forced to play Freddie Mercury in a movie with the widest release ever of any film AND NOT GET PAID ONE DAMN CENT

Cher? That would be too much of an insult to Freddie! I mean, she can't sing, she looks like shit and she is 95% plastic.

Don't work for me!

Who would you say is more plastic- Cher or Michael Jackson? I'd say Michael Jackson- Mr. "I've Only Had 2 Plastic Surgeries and Just Cause I Sleep With Little Boys, Doesn't Mean I'm a Pedophile."

Wow! I have never noticed the similarities between the two....but they are both good looking..so why not!

I was kind of joking by mentioning Cher and crossgender casting, but there's no need to be so harsh about her. I think she's a good actress and a great performer, and she's got that charismatic star quality about her that whoever played Freddie would have to have (or be able to fake). And "Believe" was a great song.

I think John Cusack, while a good actor, is too uptight.

You know what would be brilliant? If you could talk Tom Cruise into doing it.

Whoever is chosen, Gary Mullen should sing the soundtrack, with whoever plays Freddie Mercury miming Gary's versions.

By the way, hi all! I'm new!

Kevin Spacey isn't gaaay!
It's just a rumour really :s

I think they should just have the person who plays FM, lipsync the originals.

Or Saddam Hussains brother, According to some Queenzoners he looks like Freddie.

Toobad he's dead. He would've done a great Freddie impression

Gary Mullen?????
Nope!
