Bohemian Rhapsody has been breaking box office records, in large part thanks to Rami Malek’s performance as Freddie Mercury. But filling Freddie’s shoes wasn’t always easy..

Finally, Malek told himself “Listen, if you’re going to play a man who will rock this thing out like nobody’s business – you better own this!”
