Katy Perry could play Freddie Mercury's girlfriend in new film of Queen singer's life
Katy Perry is in the running to play Freddie Mercury’s long-term girlfriend in a new film.
She hopes to land the part of Mary Austin alongside Dictator star Sacha Baron Cohen who will take the lead role as the late Queen singer.
California girl Katy, 27, wants to make the switch from music to big screen and she hopes the biopic of her rock idol will be her big break.
She’s such a big fan that she dressed as Freddie at her own birthday party.
Katy revealed how she became a Queen fan after sneaking to her friend’s house to watch MTV and listen to vinyl albums after herstrict Christian preacher parents banned her from listening to rock.
She said: “I remember hearing Killer Queen by Queen and falling down in what felt like slow motion in my bed listening to the lyrics. And I thought to myself, ‘Oh my gosh, this music is incredible. These lyrics speak to me...’ and that made me want to be what I am”.
