Provocative funnyman Sasha Baron Cohen- aka Borat, Ali G, and several other infamous characters- has been cast as legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic.
The actor apparently beat out Johnny Depp for the role.
The film, which has yet to be titled, is said to focus on Mercury’s music and lifestyle leading up to his death from complications due to AIDS in 1991.
