Borat will not play Freddie Mercury
For those of you who were hoping to see Freddie Mercury achieve the "dick tuck" in a movie, we have bad news for you. According to MTV News, Sacha Baron Cohen is not going to be portraying Mick Jagger's one time lover. I can't imagine how that would have played out. Cohen is a brilliant character actor, and deserves credit for being the only redeeming part of "Anchorman Talladega Nights (Thank you to Mr. Cohen himself for correcting me. What do you want, all Will Ferrell movies are the same)". He may have been able to pull this off.
Reports that "Borat" star Sacha Baron Cohen will play legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in a musical biopic are "absolutely untrue," the actor's publicist told MTV News. An unidentified source told Britain's Daily Mirror that "filmmakers are working flat out to get the best possible script. Sacha loves the idea he can get away with playing Freddie after modeling Borat's look on him."
Well, it may have worked out. Below may be advance bootleg footage of the famous Mercury-Jagger tryst.






I was in Talladega Nights...not Anchorman.
