In some of the most fascinating casting news ever, Sacha Baron Cohen is said to be the frontrunner to portray the late Freddie Mercury of Queen in an upcoming biopic film developed by Robert De Niro's company, Tribeca Productions. Sacha reportedly modeled his character Borat's look after Freddie. But there's some competition for the role. Johnny Depp is also interested in the part and was in talks with producers last month about playing Freddie.
As much as I love Johnny, they MUST give this one to Sacha! Maybe he'll win an Oscar and he can go to the ceremony as Borat and no one will be able to stop him like they did last time!
