cohen

Golden Globe winner Sacha Baron Cohen won’t be portraying the flamboyant Queen singer Freddie Mercury after all. Sacha, who won his Globe in 2007 for the best actor in a musical or comedy for Borat, has left the long-in-the-works project after  reportedly clashing with the remaining members of Queen who have creative control over the movie. Producer Graham King now has to decide whether to proceed with the movie and cast another actor as Mercury or to move on to another project. Cohen is currently working on a spy spoof which he has written and will star in for Paramount Pictures.
