Fascinating Truths You Probably Didn’t Know About Freddie Mercury

Brown Eyes, Hairy Chest

Freddie Mercury had deep brown eyes. But the actor Rami Malek who plays him in the film has blue/green eyes and they didn’t even make an effort to correct them during the film including close ups of his face. It’s a wonder why they didn’t give him brown contacts as many other actors have done in films.

Freddie Mercury also had a hairy chest. This also wasn’t correctly portrayed by Rami Malek, who played Freddie with little to no chest hair. The only times the look was authentic was when Freddie is wearing a “wife beater” undershirt.
