AFTER cameoing as one of Freddie Mercury’s secret flings in Bohemian Rhapsody, Adam Lambert reckons they could have been a formidable rock couple in real life.
On whether he would have caught Freddie’s eye had fate allowed, Adam – who filled the late star’s boots as frontman of Queen – said: “Apparently he did like them a little beefier! That much I know.“So potentially.
“I think if I was alive to see Freddie Mercury on stage, he was so brilliant that I probably would have fallen in love with him, yeah.”
Out-and-proud Adam also defended the Oscar-winning movie against complaints it whitewashed Freddie’s sexuality, saying: “The film is a specific interpretation of this man’s life and I think a lot of people really felt inspired by going to see it.
“People walk out of the film loving him and I think that’s the most important thing.” link
I found that scene unnecessary in the film. Sure, a bit of fun to have an AL cameo but quite distasteful having him as a love interest.
Would've been ultra-Meta to have AL play Tim Staffell - that way Freddie would've replaced him in the band. A sly wink.
