Random rant: I like Ben Whishaw, a great actor but what the actual f*ck...
Ben Whishaw to play Freddie Mercury
Were there no Asian actors available?? like (To pick a few obvious guys with the acting chops)...
Naveen Andrews (Awesome in everything + does a mean Alan Partridge)
Suraj Sharma (He carried the whole of 'Life of Pi' solo, he can handle a biopic)
Jimi Mistry (Always good when he's given a good role)
However...
...is set to direct, yay! (Liked his recent films).
