Hi What exactly did the twitter say? Who's twitter was it? Does it actually say he is "instead of" Thanx Amy I can't find anything on Google News or under a everything search.

I know all of that about Forouk Bulsara. I am referring to their English connection. Cohen born in West London. Freddie a resident of London longer than Zanzibar. Cohen would understand & is very familar with Queen and their very Brittish life/ culture. perhaps I should have said they R both English entertainers. Trust me I know alot about Freddie & I do mean alot. He went to school in India his parents worked in service to the Brittish gov. Fled to England during the Revolution.

@announceramyhayes Sacha Baron Cohen is Jewish, Freddie Mercury was Parsi-Indian (Persians who took refuge in India centuries ago when Islam expanded to Persia). Unless you are suggesting Parsi-Indians are part Jewish I'm not sure where you are getting "even shares some of his ethnicity".

@announceramyhayes How does Sasha Baron Cohen share some of Mercury's ethnicity?

I CANNOT WAIT TO GO WATCH THIS!!!

Most People only know Sacha as a Comedic actor, but in reality his training is in Dramatic acting and he spent years doing that before he ever stepped into a comedy role.
I think they chose the right guy to play Freddie and since they are taking there time making the film, it should turn out pretty darn good.

@announceramyhayes YES!!!

They should have got the singer from "The Darkness" instead of Paul Rogers.

@LiloPelakai You're full of shit about you're opinion about Depp.
Bet you have never seen, Sweeney Todd, Finding Neverland, Edward Scissorhands, Alice In Wonderland and Public Enemies.
Almost every movie with him is awesome and great. You don't know what you're saying I said Sacha is not bad but it think he is more a comedian then an actor.
Fuck off about saying that Johnny Depp is overrated.
Sacha does resemble Freddie and even shares some of his ethninticity. Sacha is most known for physical, campy, comedy. However, most people don't realize that comedy is much harder to do. Trust me Sacha has to be over the moon getting this part! If done correctly, this movie and/or his performance will B Oscar worthy. Sacha obviously does not look like Fred in his Borat pictures duhhh! He is amazingly hot in his everyday look
