A thread I've contributed to this week about casting for the Freddie Mercury biopic has this... uh, lovely exchange:
Person A said:
I don't like Baron Cohen, he's too tall to play Freddie.
I responded saying that that's like saying they don't want Jamie Foxx to play Ray Charles just because he's sighted. Person A responded thusly:
But you wouldn't cast Brad Pitt as Ray Charles (or as Freddie). It's a physique du role thing.
(See? It's like Freddie was in the middle of rocking out when suddenly...)
Just to be clear...
Ray Charles
Brad Pitt
... The fuck?? I mean... just... the fuck?? If you'll excuse me, I need to go find my faith in humanity. Funny how I lose it when I become active on Queenzone.
