Mike Myers in talks for a role in Queen biopic

MIKE Myers is in talks to star in Queen biopic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

The 54-year- old Canadian actor-and comedian is reportedly being eyed up for a role in the upcoming biopic, according to Deadline, but the character he will play has not been revealed.

If Myers accepts the role he will join an impressive cast including Rami Malek, who will play the late great frontman Freddie Mercury.

Myers’ breakthrough movie role was playing public access TV presenter Wayne Campbell in comedy ‘Wayne’s World’, and in one famous scene Wayne and his friends mime to Queen’s hit ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ whilst driving in a car.

Malek recently admitted he is very nervous about honouring the memory of Freddie — who died in 1991 at the age of 45 -— and pleasing Queen’s millions of fans but is going to give the role his all.

The impressive cast includes Allen Leech, who starred in ‘Downtown Abbey’, who has been cast as Freddie’s personal manager Paul Prenter in the Bryan Singer- directed motion picture.

Prenter was employed by the singer from 1977 to 1986 but was later sacked by Freddie for supplying stories to the media about his wild lifestyle.

Ben Hardy, Joe Mazzello and Gwilym Lee have also joined the cast in recent weeks.

The fi lm is slated to be released on Dec 28 next year. — BANG Showbiz
