Katy to play girlfriend of Freddie Mercury in new film?
Katy Perry could play Freddie Mercury's girlfriend in new film of Queen singer's life
Quote:
Katy Perry is in the running to play Freddie Mercury’s long-term girlfriend in a new film.
She hopes to land the part of Mary Austin alongside Dictator star Sacha Baron Cohen who will take the lead role as the late Queen singer.
California girl Katy, 27, wants to make the switch from music to big screen and she hopes the biopic of her rock idol will be her big break.
She’s such a big fan that she dressed as Freddie at her own birthday party.
Filming is due to start next year and Sacha is already working with remaining Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor on the movie, which is being tipped as a box-office hit.
A friend of Katy said: “Katy would love to be in the film as she is such a huge fan. She would want to play Mary Austin ideally. Katy has a similar look to Mary and would be a brilliant foil to Sacha.”
The film is being produced by Oscar-winning Graham King, best known for The Departed, and producers have secured the rights to many of Queen’s biggest hits, including We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions.
I've never seen her act before, is she decent?
I think she's only done TV before though.
Only "How I Met your Mother" and "Raising Hope". She was supposed to have a role in "The Help" though, but had to turn it down due to her tour. Hollywood must think she's at least decent to keep offering her roles

And even though its not acting she did voice overs for The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2 is going to be made too!
As long as there are no sex/nude scenes sounds good.
If word got out that Katy was going to be nude in a film it would definitely boost those box office numbers. People have been dying to see those boobs. I don't think she would do it though
