Rami Malek & Gwilym Lee: Nothing else we do will ever be as good as Bohemian Rhapsody

- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Rami Malek and Gwilym Lee tell us what it was like transforming into Freddie Mercury and Brian May in new Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody.
From wearing genuine costumes, to recreating the Live Aid set they give us an insight into making the movie, and also tell us they've all become such good friends, their experience is unlikely to ever be topped.
We also tested them on their Queen song knowledge - getting them to guess the track from just three words.
Bohemian Rhapsody is out in UK Cinemas from 24th October

Freddie would've absolutely loved Rami.
Susan Orchard no doubt about it, he would love all this attention because of him
Rami was born to play Freddie
I'm sure he's proud of him wherever he is
Yes, he is sitting on his fluffy cloud, I'm sure, with Pavarotti and his other big opera companion Montsy Caballé and they allllll 3 approve of Rami having done a breathtaking job with his co - actors down here ! God bless them
Rami was Awesome. I felt like you guys were Queen. Great performance.
I love how they call themselves “the band” they’re really feelin themselves as queenn😂😂😂
Amira Btari Ryandini lmaooo I would too
My obsession with this movie is bordering on unhealthy. I can't watch enough of these interviews
Oh good it's not just me then lol.
Im glad im not alone!! I said screw my house im watching bohiem
Maybe there should be an intervention group? Like AA but for Bohemian Rhapsody. 😂
@@Melissa.Garrett But without the actual intervention part. More like a watch party? I'd be down for a watch party!
I’ve noticed that I really enjoy seeing the comradery between them. They said they’ve really enjoyed making the film and that they’ve bonded. It shows and it’s so pleasant to watch them. They glow, and it’s not just how handsome they all are, tho no doubt, that helps!
Lord have mercy! The beauty! 🤭☺️😁
Rami Malek is the only person who can pull off a striped buttoned-up shirt with a leather jacket.
Well, other than you-know-who.. :)
LOOOLLL, YESSS😁
Tatiana Leutwiler 👌🏻 smart yet edgy
Look up “Freddy Mercury funny moments (part 1)” and even in the thumbnail, Freddy is wearing a striped shirt and leather jacket.
Wilky Wonka his name was Freddie no Freddy.
He literally got a bit of Freddie after the movie.
Freddie approved.
Metta Witari his mannerisms are so freddie now, as i watch more interviews
@David Bowie rude.
@David Bowie Okay, I'm sorry, what the fuck do you mean?
Rami and gwilym should make asmr videos honestly
Jodie McHale Yes pls
Jodie McHale asmr??
I FELT TINGLES
Gwilym sounds like Brian and Brian May in his Guitar Tutorial Starlicks is considered the guitar Bob Ross.
Yeah, their voices are pretty relaxing.
Rami’s voice is so relaxing, I just want him to tell me a bedtime story lol
Actual._.Trash I listened to his Arabic interviews, very nice
He can...go to UA-cam STORYLINE ONLINE AND HE READS THE BOOK "THE EMPTY POT". SO GREAT!!
Rami is so freaking attractive, not just his looks, but his calm voice and attitude
Emelie Talledo RIGHT!
Amber_cakes133 Lee none of them are in this interview so it’s unnecessary to bring them up
Yes he isfor his young age very wise and quiet
People complain about inaccuracies and Rami's eye colour and so on should get a life. This is an entertainment piece, not a documentary. Artistic license has been taken with the full approval of the surviving members of Queen and Freddie's family. They aren't bothered that timelines were changed or modified, or that Rami didn't wear brown contact lenses. The film entertains, it informs, it celebrates and it captures the essence of Freddie and the band. It's two hours of cinema, not an exact science in which every detail, event and so on has to be absolutely accurate.
thank god he didnt wear contacs. Sometimes during the movie I completely forgot it was him and not freddie
Jenjenilou whatever the critics says, Bohemian Rhapsody is for the people not for them! Booyaaaa, we loved this movie!
I wonder too if the brown contacts made him look less like Freddie? Anyway it didn't bother me. I don't mind the creative differences they made. I was there to celebrate Freddie's life and career. Freddie is a legend and will always be!
I was ok with artistic licence most of the time, and certainly the eye colour did not bother me. The one thing that did bother me was the massive timeline change of having him finding out about the disease and telling the band before Live Aid. They gave to that performance an entirely difference significance.
Amen
G:"half of the band live in the UK, half of the band live in The States... "
I: "Love how you call it the band"
ajajaa hermoso.
She is a superb interviewer. She actually listens to her guests! Usually they don’t listen, they’re thinking of their next question. And of course these actors are a total joy to get to know. 👏👏👏👏
Ikr!! I compliment her ✨❤
Rami for Best Actor and Gwilyn for Best Supporting Actor. All four were really excellent but Rami and Gwilyn really blew me away.
Yvette Campos the whole film for best picture
Nah, Gwilyn did well but did he really have to act THAT hard? I agree he did a good job but surely, there are actors who put more effort into their roles.
No - that's the point - if you ever met Brian - or knew a lot about him, you would see that that's who he IS -- extremely low-key, calm... not "Oscar-bait" of course.. so not a huge "stretch" - but the thing is, GL got Brian exactly right... great job of filling the role - but too bad for award prospects that Dr. May is not a dramatic person :)
I really do hope their friendship lasts a lifetime. I love when cast mates bond so much over their project that they remain close for years after everything is said and done.
Gwilym calling them "the band" without even realizing he'd done it!
that little Freddie hand gesture at 11:54 ! MY HEART
I loveee itt
And that Brian gesture at 3:43 it's nonsense, really.
Stop them, please.
@@stephaniebarias8845 Just copy the numbers as they are in the video
@@eextravagantee2 thank you 😊
@@stephaniebarias8845 you're welcome, _darling_ 😊
Gwilym - you are very convincing as Brian - this said from a "fan" who was 15 years old in 1976 and met the band a couple of times... all of them were "gentlemen" and lovely and sweet to my best friend and I -- :)
That's awesome! My dad is the same age as Brian. I grew up with a lot of queen!
@@captain8014 same with my old man, he would always show me queen when I was growing up
How lucky were you! How did you meet Queen?
At hotel restaurant in Kalamazoo, MI - when were were going back and forth to get hot drinks since we were standing in line for the "general admission" show at 8 p.m. and got out there at, like 8 AM to make sure we were first -- and we were not the only ones standing there, either - but it was January and very cold -- my friend went across the parking lot to hotel and came back and grabbed me and said -- you have to come with me to the hotel -- and some nice people agreed to save our place in line... then she explained why she dragged me away - the band was in the restaurant... so we sat there and tried to figure out what to say... how and when to approach - you know, don't interrupt the meal, but don't wait until they're on the way out the door.... etc... anyway -- this could be a very long story, but we finally managed to get up our courage and ask for their autographs... and Freddie immediately broke the stupid little pencil that the desk clerk had given us -- threw it over his shoulder and said "oh, it's dead - get me another one...." -- we stood there shocked, while someone else came up with a pen, and the rest of the band chatted with us, while they passed around the paper to sign... and when it got to Brian, he said "Oh, ought we to sign TWO?" -- and we were again all "duh -- yes, please!" - much more was said, and then we kind of ran away to get back in line... and when we did finally get into the show and RIGHT in front (of course) - each of them kind of gave us a nod and a smile from stage (well, except for Roger, who of course couldn't see us from his drum kit) - but it was magical....
GinMae omg, that was amazing! They are so sweet!!
12:07 The way he said “card tricks” sounds *exactly* like Brian!
Rami nailed all questions without spoiling anything!
To be fair, with this movie there's not a lot to spoil, it's about actual events after all :D
everybuddy 😂
Phelie315 True 😄
@everybuddy Maybe you should be more respectful
I LOVED this interview, the lady doing the interview has a beautiful voice & accent and asks really nice questions, so thanks. Also, I could listen to Rami Malek talk ALL DAY LONG!!
The Connexion too
I wanna be your slave ... ALL DAY LONG! 🎶🎵😂
@@_NowhereGirl AAALL DAY LONG AAALL DAY LONG
They were not acting! They were actually performing!! Loved the movie!!
can i please have a video of rami just talking so soft and slow for like 10 hours...his voice literally calms me SO much it’s ridiculous
polly hill just watch “Mr Robot” - he narrates it.
Idjles Erle omgg i’m going too
"TRUE"💯
I love the audio books Roddy McDowall recorded, I hope Rami does that at some time.
It's called Mr. Robot LMFAO
I agree with the Interviewer, the resemblance to who they are portraying in the film is uncanny to the real guys
It took me about 20 minutes into the movie to remember that wasn't actually Brian and John on screen. I mean they all look ridiculously similar, but somebody could have told me it was really Brian May and John Deacon and I may have wholeheartedly agreed.
I seriously don't want this video to end. Rami is such a genuine person and an angel tbh and Gwilym is absolutely lovely! I wish Joe Mazzello was in here 'cause I could listen to his voice all day long.
It’s so cute to see Rami has taken to his part so much that he can’t shake the Freddie mannerisms 🤣🥰
I love that they have forged lasting friendships out of this. I can't adequately explain it, but somehow it helps keep the legacy of the band alive (like it isn't already) knowing they're all good friends now.
I think I'm in love with Rami Malek....
I dreamed I married him last week. Weird.
Vicki Kennedy haha lucky
@@vickikennedy6550 i dreamed i met Ben once
Yeah I want to meet ben hardy
Me too😭😭❤️
0:46 I just realized that Gwilym had to adjust his voice in the movie to sound like Brian's, because Gwilym's voice is a little different from Bri's. It's so mind blowing how well he could impersonate him, he sounds just like him!
Gwilym’s imitation of Brian’s voice actually kills me then raises me back from the dead istg
gwilym is such a precious bean #protecc
his pircing blue eyes made me forget about Michael Fasswhatever LOL
*No one:*
*Literally no one:*
*No one in the world:*
*Rami:* WE SHOT LIVE AID, ON DAY 1
Rami is absolutely adorable, humble and interesting. He absolutely nailed it as Freddie, hope that he gets the Oscar!
Gwilym looks more like Brian May than Brian May. Wtf.
Well, Kanaya, that's because Sir Dr. Brian May now looks like Sir Isaac Newton LOL!!!!
Little Miss Black Dress .... I don't. You're reading something into my comment that isn't there.
Ah, yes - Brian May - my first rock-star LOVE/CRUSH - when I was 14-15-16 -- if I were not such an old lady now, I would be dreaming of Gwilym (okay, so maybe I am, secretly) -- remarkable resemblance, and also acting -- I know, low-key character, but sometimes those are hard to portray.,.. just a look in the eye... a tap of the fingers.. GL got it right... :)
@trf12567 I agree they went too far with the teeth. It was also very apparent that Rami is built smaller than Freddie. Gwylim looked a lot like Brian, but doesn't have that nose of his! He's kind of like the model version of Brian. Prettier, but also less distinguishable.
Even Brian's kids couldnt tell the difference with his voice
Yes each member had a #1 hit AND they have all, individually, been inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame...NO OTHER BAND can say this
gwilym looks like what brian would look like if he was young at 2018
I remember young Brian (and you can check pics on google), and Gwilym is even more handsome with his natural hair and beard
And cut the hair lol. Brian’s holding onto the glam rock look hardcore lol
bronx hippie yeah, that’s what i mean. gwilym has this modern hair cut and look in general. i think that’s what brian would’ve looked like if he was gwil’s age at 2018
@@bronxkies I think Brian's just always been trying to look like Sir Isaac Newton. ;)
To be honest, if Brian got his hair cut short, it wouldn't be Brian
72 year old grandma - I had teenagers during the 80's and heard the music, have seen the movie twice. First time I watched for differences in Rami and Freddie - fake teeth too big, Rami more buff that Freddie in arms and shoulders - by the middle of the first trip through the second just lost myself in the music and the story. What a loss when Freddie passed. Planning another trip to the theatre before it leaves the area it was so well done.
I feel like the fake teeth were actually too small, it's just that Freddie's mouth was absolutely huge to fit them lol
i think the teeth is still small, than freddie's lol,
I think Freddie actually had bigger teeth plus a bit more crooked than the false ones Rami wore - and was a lot lankier in the 70’s but buffed up in the 80’s and looked bigger than Rami.
My mother liked their music while I was wearing out my LPs in the 70s ("Such nice young men."). My daughter liberated my CDs in the early 2000 years. And I think my grandson is hearing the music around the house. Rock on.
This is one of the few movies that I saw once and then immediately ran out to buy the DVD. (I saw it on streaming this year. I don't go out to the theatre any more.) I'm rarely so free with money. I'm usually cheaper! But l wanted this movie NOW.
"because the beatles had ringo starr" gwil snapped
Till the day I die... whenever I will close my eyes and think of QUEEN, I will OBVIOUSLY think of Rami, Gwilym, Ben and Joe.
I simply LOVE them. Their "band" is squad goals. Rami for the Oscar 👏
Love that Rami says again that he is a big handshaker! Love that he has no insecurities in physical contact.
They all say this was a "once in a lifetime" experience and that they became a mini band of brothers and very close friends during filming. Rami said they text each other almost daily - friends for life. I saw the film just after it came out, and it is a Movie for the fans...old and new, and Rami's performance is definitely Oscar worthy.
I've never been in love with a movie and cast this much before!
Gwilym: WHAT ARE THOSE!?
Brain: they are my. CLOGS
Please do an audio book Rami. Your voice is very calming
Ben He’s a lead character on a podcast called Blackout! You can hear more of his voice that way haha
this is an interesting interview because the female interviewer doesn't interrupt rami and gwilym when they talk. her questions are very humble to be answered that's why I like this specific interview. many are the interviwers who shout, laugh like horses and interrupt the guests
if you’ve come from Tumblr, rami trying to form a phrase is 11:46-12:06
5:31 Rami's small "yeah" and the way he look at Gwilym daaaaamn.
"I'm a big handshaker" omg i love him
8:58 - 9:58 that’s true though! They would troll each other IG comments section (poor Ben Hardy lol)
Thank you! This was such a nice interview. The game’s last part cracked me up so much 😂😂😂
Keiko Igarashi rami doesn’t lol but like he’s never on his lol 😂
Fallon Estrello oh yeah! Rami doesn’t use his. But Gwil and Joe did troll him when he posted his selfie with Ellen.
But normally it was Ben who is mostly getting them troll comments 😝
I wishhhh Rami was more active on social media. I love when they comment each others pictures
Yep totally agree that Freddie would have adored Rami! I am so sad that he never got to meet him..
Freddie would have been SO in love... Pretty face and kind heart.
Rami literally destroying the mic when Gwilym gets Fat Bottom Girls correct is such a mood
“you’ve got a big one of these too”
either Rami forgot that it was meant to be 3 words or he can’t count
love him so much 😂
Samantha Navarro
but still
Or he just wanted to give Gwilym a compliment SOBAD lol
Rami Malek was the absolute best casting decision. Even in interviews, I'm thinking...darn, I'm still thinking about Freddie Mercury. Malek is soo soulful. And Gwilym Lee nailed Brian May.
Best interview yet! It would appear that the relationship shared by Queen has affected these young fellows in a very good way.
Gwilym even sounds like BM.
super!
smidsyonfire I just realized that Brian May and I have same initials for my first and middle name!
Can’t get enough of Rami Malek. 💗💗💗💗
I think Freddie is proud for Rami and all of the cast of the movie. Rami is the type of human who Freddie enjoyed, I think. I love Rami and Freddie so much ❤❤❤
I appreciate that the interviewer gave Gwylim Lee plenty of questions on Brian May. I've been binge watching interviews and I get kind of irritated when there are multiple cast members in an interview, but 80% is about Rami/Freddie. Queen was about 4 guys who needed and loved each other. They were family. Yes, Freddie Mercury is incomparable and Rami Malek was incredible in this role. But there's so much more to the story and the actors were all amazing. Really happy to see an interviewer who understood the full width and depth of the movie... and the band itself.
Gwil as Brian fixes his wig: *AHHHHHH! BRIAN MAY IS TOUCHING MY HAIR!* Lol.
Rami's voice is so relaxing. I could listen to it all day.
8:23 awww, that's say it all ;)
This is the cutest interview I've ever seen in my life omg
I’m in love with Rami Malek’s voice. It is so slow and relaxing, and i feel like... is a super warm voice. I love it 😊🤤 (*sorry for my bad inglish*)
Rami rocked every scene!!!
I thought the scene when Freddie is told by his doctor that he has aids was SOOOO emotional, I know many cried. I also thought that Rami had the Oscar when he did that scene in the rain!
11:41 rami malek thoughtfully formulating a sentence fragment
That’s so cute that they called it the band and they talk 24/7. That’s so heartwarming and amazingly cute xx 😘
i love these two..bromances all 4 of them!!!!!!!
rami is truly an angel !! i hate how people bash him, he’s an amazing actor! he looks just like freddie! amazing job !!
Since the film came out, I've watched all the interviews, plus the movie over & over. I have to admit that the actors who played the real members of Queen looked almost identical to the real ones!
Whatever Happens, I think these guys they'll be Friends for Life... No matter how famous or not they become.. Freddie would be so proud of them. They are Gentlemen
Gwilym will know what he would look like when he's old. The similarities between them is just magical and uncanny.
Nice interview!
Rami & Gwilym are so cute
The entire cast was at their best, everyone was just amazing. Long live Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin.
Gwilym lee and brian may voices are just so
Rami’s voice is velvet.
0:47 HE FRICKING SOUNDS LIKE BRIAN TOO LIKE WOW IM SHOOK
Rami is the sweetest! ❤️
I grew up with Queen as one of my secret favorites. In the '70s and'80s, I was a Rush fan and into the hair metal scene while secretly listening to Queen, ELO, Human League, and The Cars. I used to go around by myself singing "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Bicycle Race" having no idea that those two were released together. My older brother was responsible for getting me into Queen. Forty years later I am actually proud of the extensive range of music I was fortunate to grow up around, from Gospel Blue-Grass to Hardcore Death Metal. Thank you, Freddie, for being a part of that.
I got unreasonably obsessed with Rami Malek.Well I JUST CAN'T GET OUT FROM HIS EYES.
All 4 of them were so integral to the band. Some bands have forgettable members but I can’t imagine Queen without Joe’s bass work or without John’s solos or Freddie’s electric voice or Roger’s dynamic work on the drums WHILE singing. I mean, they’re all crazy talented
I think you're mistaken deacy with Joe there mate and leave Brian's name 😊😊 but I totally agree
Can't take my eyes off of Gwilym he's so beautiful
Couldn't keep my eyes off of Gwilym, he's just so handsome and the accent oh wow 😍 in love
I never really heard of Gwilym Lee but he was so good in this movie. Rami wining a Golden Globe Award blew me away. So Glad!
I still think rami is still in character honestly Freddie would’ve loved him
I'm not at all a jealous person, but I'm jealous about their friendship. Good people enjoying success together. So happy to see it.
It’s a true testament to this movie that I haven’t seen a single negative comment about it yet. And rightly so. It’s amazing 👏👏👏👌
As a person that is into 60s and 70s clothing, hearing that Gwilym was able to actually get Brian’s authentic clothing is making me cry.
Quite a phenomenon, Bohemian Rhapsody. These young fellows got it right. Superlatives can't do the performances and the film justice. As I was just out of high school when Queen got rolling in The United States seeing this movie is akin to going back in time; bittersweet.
“You got a big one of these too”... all sorts of things came into my head
Gwilym sounds just like Brian may amazing !
The fact that they're so close melts my heart 😂❤️
_two people who are the definition of perfection are on your screen_
I really see and hear Freddie through rami I think if Freddie was still alive I think he would have loved rami
I hope and pray there will be a directors cut with the full performance at Live Aid.
Shame they never mentioned the interviewer's name in the video, she's great! One of the few female interviewers who isn't annoying. Would love to see more of her work.
Dilara Salikh true some were annoying but this one, she listen and talk but doesn’t interrupt Them...
Don't see where female interviewers are any more annoying than male interviewers
@@ceciliaslepmet4840 ikr, way to be casually sexist, Dilara lol
Thanks for the casual sexism!
Or just interviewers in general?
Rami is so cute and the way he looks and talks is so adorable. I love you rami xx 😘
look at that little eyebrow flip at 1:18 with that smile, he's so proud hahaha i love him
Omg! I thought it was just me being obsessed, seen it 4 times , going again tomorrow, so happy see these post, I seriously thought there was something wrong with me 🤗🤗also become hooked into watching reaction videos of peopl, mostly young hip hop artists watching and listening to Queen for the fist time. It’s magical how they react
"You've got a big one of these too!" OMG I LOVE THEM!
They are so effing adorable. I can't take it.
