Four musicans’ biopics and the actors who should play them

Queen guitarist Brian May says we can expect a biopic of late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury to coincide with the band’s 40th anniversary. A biopic isn’t surprising, but the man aping to play Mercury is. Borat‘s Sacha Baron Cohen has the acting chops needed to play the charismatic singer — plus, in addition to being able to grow the serious ‘stache the role would require, Cohen kinda looks like Mercury. We here at Wayward thought it pertinent to drum up five oddly perfect, hypothetical, actor-musican matchups for even more hypothetical biopics.
