Gonna sound silly but.. If you look at Freddie in 1984 he looked pretty much as he did in the mid 70's only with facial hair. But post Live Aid and in subsequent music videos for the AKOM album his skin seems to be a lot tighter and fit his face a lot better. He didn't have what you might call the "excess" skin he had on either side of his jaw that he once had. Is it possible that Freddie went under the knife sometime in 1985 to have his skin pulled tighter? Just look at how he looks in the A Kind Of Magic video to his Live Aid appearance. The filming of the video I am guessing the video was filmed in late 1985 so it was only a few months after Live Aid yet he does look somewhat significantly different. I know he his health was beginning its decline then but to me it still looks like a facelift. |

Obviously he had Botox! :-) I also heard he was a fan of ''Nip/Tuck''! |

Freddie: Hey Michael, how've you been dear? Michael: Oh, great. I just bought an amusement park where I'm going to live and have lots of little boys over to play with me. Hee hee! Freddie: Well...that's lovely. Say, you look a little different, did you change your hair? Michael: No, I'm changing! Freddie: What do you mean? Michael: Into Peter Pan! Freddie: ...right, well I must say you look a little younger, maybe I should consider having some work done. Michael: What luck! Let's go meet my "friend" Dr Goldstein. I keep him in the basement and feed him soda crackers. Freddie: No, that's quite alright, I'll talk to someone when I get back to London. Michael: Okay. Hey! Look at this! Bubbles hates it when I stick my thumb in here. Hee hee! Freddie: Is that my limo beeping? |

Bubbles hates it when I stick my thumb in here. Hee hee! Freddie: Is that my limo beeping?LMFAO! But you might want to update it a bit as Michael is currently ''changing'' his image to appear MACHO and more street cred. Michael: Freddie, what do ya think about the tattoos, thick mustache, wife beater, bandana that says ''kill that ho!''. I think it's the bomb! Freddie: The bomb my dear Michael. Never heard of that word except for the blitzkrieg, but if you like it....er...you look beautiful darling! Michael: Dr. Goldstein is giving me testosterone shots so my voive will sound more manly but I'm afraid I won't be able to hit those high notes when I sing ''he he he!'' Freddie: Oh Michael dears, don't be such a bloody cunt! If you're a REAL man like me, you can sing in any key. Worse comes to worse, bring Bubbles on stage, pretend to stand him in front of you and have him sqeeeze yer balls! Michael: Freddie, you're a GENIUS! Want some wine...I can take you on a ride on my carousel and then we can have a sleep over! Freddie: Er...dear...I'm busy. But I'm sure there are plenty of simply scintillating boys who would pleasure your company...oops, enjoy the pleasure of your company. |

I always thought his face looked puffier during that era. Guess shows you how two people looking at the same thing can see something completely different. |

To Tony33 Dont worry about the smart remarks, you made a point and get that response, whilst I disagree he had a facelift, it shows you at least had something interesting to write. Ignore the goons |

you have to know that all the HIV medicines and treatment makes skins problems, some people lose face fat |
| kagezan1313 28.09.2005 13:44 |
In all seriousness, I don't think Freddie ever had plastic surgery. Given the many variables, such as the amount of working out he was doing at any given time (and it varied greatly, from working out every day to nothing in months), his diet, the amount of make-up he applied before different performances (sometimes he wore foundation, sometimes not) and also lighting and camera angles, his face would naturally appear wider or more narrow at different times. I don't think his face started to change due to AIDS until late 1988. If he was going to have anything done, I'd think he'd have his front teeth filed down a few inches and have crowns put on. |

Hey Arlene - in regards to your Nip/Tuck comment, do you think Freddie would have been one of the patients who slept with Chistian?? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA (I AM JUST KIDDING PEOPLE. I could care less who people wish to sleep with - it's your own business and I say more power to you - do what you want and enjoy yourself.) |
| brENsKi 28.09.2005 15:38 |
there's no way anyone HIV+ would have a facelift...no surgeon would take asuch a risk of /blood/blood contact....they have to think about all their other patients |

Would that be the character played by SO HOT!!!!!! Aussie actor Julian McMahon who used to star as Pheobe's (Alyssa Milano's) husband on ''Charmed)? Cuz Freddie wouuld have to take turns so I could get it on with Julian! |

Freddie i don't think so, but our old Roger i bet he did, you can say by looking to the area around his eyes. Sometimes he looks older and then a miracle happens and he lookes younger again. Take care |
| doremi 28.09.2005 18:45 |
Well we all know Paul Rodgers did. Have a look see. link First of all, Paul was never as attractive as he is now. 2nd, I saw him live here at Merriweather Post Pavilion with his Tribute To Muddy waters in 1993, and he was damn near bald then, and had a lot more wrinkles. |
| kdj2hot 28.09.2005 20:42 |
Paul looked like he was getting ready to be shipped to the old folks home in that pic, now he's all buff and dare I say sexy. He has a heart throbe look going. I gotta say he's the only guy in his 50's I can think of who decided to make a run for a sexier look, usually thats the time they try to tone down their looks. That takes balls. Oh yeah and what did Brian say in his soapbox lol |
| kdj2hot 28.09.2005 20:52 |
lol I just went to Brian's soapbox lol it seems like Brian won't be sending King Mercury any signed memorabilia anytime soon lol. Having the great Brian May tear you a new one must be horrible. |

Hasn't anyone else ever noticed how strange Freddie's eyes look in the "Friends Will Be Friends" video? link Something odd there. |

My good LORD, Don't you EVER pay attention? As for the odd look to Freddie's eyes, did you not notice the large amount of BRIGHT LIGHTS all around the stage? Unless his pupils were the size of needles, he'd need to squint. |

Hi I am new here and I just wanted to drop in on this topic. I just wanted to say that there are many factors that could cause his skin to appear different at the two stages you mentioned. The main reasons that come to my mind would be: 1. Change in lighting and film quality of the recorded different footage. 2. Change in diet or maybe he came off (how shall I put it) - let's say substances that were not good for him. Well thank you for letting me reply here. |
| Penis - Vagina 30.09.2005 01:12 |
Okay, the lighting thing makes sense.. but it seems more than squinting to me. Look at the intro to "I Want It All", with that massive light in their eyes (except delicate flower Roger, who kept his sunglasses on). Freddie would have to be squinting there but he doesn't look strange around the eyes. LOL |
