Russell Brand "I would love to play Freddie Mercury"

Russell Brand no longer wants to front Queen!

The British rocker who recently filed for divorce from wife Katy Perry says rumors that he is to star in a Freddie Mercury biopic as the legendary singer himself are wide of the mark.

“In my own life I’m constantly playing Freddie Mercury,” jokes Russell.

“I leap from my bed, force my teeth forwards, deny my own sexuality and march out into the world. A big gay romp in Rio de Janeiro every day of my life!

“No, I would love to play Freddie Mercury but I don’t think it’s going to happen. Isn’t Sacha Baron Cohendoing that? He’d be f***ing brilliant!”
