Unconfirmed reports out of London that Sacha Baron Cohen will play Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic. Negotiations are apparently underway with Sacha eager to flex his dramatic muscles and transition from Ali G/Borat to serious actor. Good move. And when time comes, he will be back on the Freebie Five. Promise.

PS. Am attaching vintage Borat. Not so much for the obvious bulge but for the shoes and socks. The shade, the colour, the style, especially the style of those lame ass loafers…kills me every time.
