Ben Whishaw confirmed as Freddie Mercury in upcoming biopic :)

Certainly I see that Ben will be a great Freddie Mercury

I love Ben Whishaw and I think he’s an excellent actor, but this casting makes me really uncomfortable and unhappy.

I’m going to try and trust the judgment of the other members of Queen for this, and I’m certainly interested in seeing it… and I think Whishaw will do an excellent job of acting (as if he could do anything else)…

But I just think that it’s really easy for people to forget that Freddie Mercury wasn’t white, and this isn’t going to help.

What she said.

yeah, what cherrybaum said is almost exactly what i said about this: ben whishaw’s a brilliant actor but too many people already forget that freddy mercury’s actual birth name was ફરોખ બલ્સારા‌/Pharōkh Balsārā‌, he was Parsi, not white.

For some reason I was under the impression that Ben Whishaw is mixed race? Can anyone confirm/deny that?
