one of the best things about Bohemian Rhapsody is that it has introduced Freddie and Queen to a whole new generation ... which will carry on the 'torch' of all of us 'old timers'
His face, and eyes light up, whenever he mentions Freddie Mercury. He might have got £500,000 from Freddie, in his will, but he didn't let it go to his head, in my humble opinion.
@@kazabushy I dislike Peter Freestone, his last name should of been Freeloader. His cashed in on Freddie numerous amount of times. Freddie would not of been impressed at all with him and Hutton, writing books. Freddie valued his privacy. The one one who stood true and devoted, no books never spoken a word about their private life Mary
@@cristinabaez3862 he was a Freeloader, cashing in on what he knew about Freddie, so he looked after Freddie thru his dying days, that's because he was being paid to do it, same with Hutton and Joe. The only true devoted person was Mary, never wrote a book or talked about their private life. Mary didn't allow filming in Garden Lodge, because she knew Freddie would never been happy with thar. Infact Freddie would not of even like a movie. The movie has alot if mistakes . Easy to see being a die hard Freddie fan
@@cristinabaez3862 no he wasn't a real friend doesn't make money of the death of Freddie. Fredfie was so right when he said Mary was he only true friend he trusted completly. Mary has never uttered a word of her private life with Freddie, she knew him better than anyone!!
Peter is amazing. I've seen him in all the old clips and documentaries and he definitely knew Freddie so well and loved him also. They are lucky to have him assisting with the film.
@@maudemathildeh335, Peter "Phoebe" Freestone cared for Freddie Mercury, in his final years, and respected him, til the end. He wasn't just Freddie's personal assistant, he was his best friend, who had Freddie's best interests at heart.
I am glad Mary refused to allow the movie to be filmed at Garden Lodge. Garden Lodge was their safe place, their home. There is a level and a line of respect still for Freddie and his memory and his wishes. Mary deserves and preserves the right to privacy as it is now her home. I am sure Freddie would not have wanted any public taping in the home. She did the right thing. I enjoyed the movie but I enjoy listening to you Peter more. You were his friend and knew him best !
Vilashini M I doubt Freddie wrote in his will that Mary should be put out of her house when she’s 90, because she was 40 when he died. Unless you show me the will I’ll never believe she’ll be homeless when she old. For the royalties, yes, but 50 years it’s the usual legal term for royalties.
Thank you, Peter Freestone, for a moving, wonderful, and beautiful opening speech, for the trailer of the film Bohemian Rhapsody. If Freddie Mercury was alive, to hear your speech about him, he would be very, very proud of you. Peter Freestone, you are too kind, beyond words. You have done Freddie Mercury proud, I think you have summed up Freddie's 45 years, in under an hour, brilliantly. As a lifelong Queen fan, once again, thank you. At least, you were there, when Freddie Mercury needed you the most. RIP Freddie, Mr and Mrs Bulsara, and Freddie's partner, Jim Hutton. 😥❤
Aw I feel freddie did hear him all that honor an give their respects an memories love watching an hearing all I can about freddie mercury 🇬🇧💕💜❇️🇺🇸♥️🌹♾️👏👏🙏🙏❇️✳️❇️✳️❇️✳️❇️✳️❇️✳️🥰🥰🥰
Maria Diestro my parents saw them on The Works tour, they said their ears rang for 3 days afterwards. I have seen amazing tribute bands, but as I was 15 when Freddie died, I was far too young to go.
"The crowdsurfing was not planned. Rami just did it on the spur of the moment, and he got into huge trouble with Health & Safety and the stunt people..." That just makes it that much better, because I feel like Freddie would've done that at some point. And considering the amount of research Rami did in order to "become" Freddie, I could totally see Rami sort of channeling him and thinking, 'You know what, Freddie would've done this, and it looks fun. YEET' I dunno. Just a thought.
Matt Middleton/artless intent Not that I know of, but I think it’s more of freddie’s spontaneity and impulsivity that Rami challenged for that and I think that was the point of the comment.
Birthday Book. I love it. Freddie was so unique. I love watching his videos and listening to his songs. Peter said in an interview he loved Freddie . I think Freddie was blessed to have Peter as a friend. Freddie was very private so I hope they honor that in the movie.
You are damn right! I don’t need to see Freddie dying. I just know that Freddie, the great singer, died and the music world is never the same again after.
Peter, I see your complete adoration, respect, and contemplation in this video that you still carry for Freddie. You are an incredible man. I can feel how much you cared and still care about Freddie and you have a wonderful way about you. Freddie would be proud of the way you have continued to dignify his existence not only in life but in his death. God Bless you for keeping is legacy alive and for continuing in keeping his fans (all of us) informed of the wonderful person he was. Freddie , oh how I wish I knew him when he was alive. I am sure Freddie would be so proud of you Peter for keeping him close to your heart.
I enjoy every time I see you and how you talk about Freddy it's like he's here and I know you are very close with him keep up the good work keep talking about Freddy and let us all know all the little things that he liked
You are important Peter and very humbling ! We love to hear the stories....I enjoy listening to you ! We all keep Freddie alive. Thank you sweet man for sharing .
Yes Peter. We are keeping him alive. But thank you for doing your part too. Because we need this to keep going. In the media, on your tours, online....thank you!
I had not known Mary refused to allow filming at Garden Lodge. She still seems so protective in keeping his privacy, even in his death. It also protects her privacy, as well, which I know she is very adamant about.
Having had a short commercial filmed in my home for ONE day....I fully understand Mary’s reluctance to allow filming in her home. It was a real invasion, not just for my family and home, but for all our neighbors who had to put up with blocked streets, no parking, noise, etc. At the end of the day, the interior of our house had plenty of scratched and gouged walls and floors, camera track and tape marks, and 2 broken windows... sure they paid for the repairs because there was an insurance policy, but it was months until our home was fully restored at great inconvenience. And some of our neighbors are still unhappy about the impact on their lives that day. Mary made the right call.
Peter thank you for all of your insight into Freddie. I'm new to all of Freddie and Queen. This is wonderful I love this I can only imagine how hard this was.
So glad he put into words about how this isn't a biography its a movie based on facts in Freddie's life. I have seen the movie a few times and find it wonderful. No, I didn't want to see Freddie dying. We all know how he died. This is a really good interview about the movie and how they has to put 45 years into 2 and a half hours. Personally I think they did a good job.
That was the most amazing talk of Freddie’s life in a film, as a true queen fan, I had my doubts about rami Malik. Peter has put my mind at rest. Thank you Peter freestone
VERY good observation by Mr Freestone regarding not enough of Freddie laughing. If you've spent some time browsing UA-cam clips of queen interviews, that's one characteristic that he seemed to always have: laughter. Usually with a cigarette in his hand. (I'll have to watch the movie again to see if he is even smoking in any of it. lol)
I loved the movie ended at Live Aid. I agree we didn't have to see Freddie's life fading away. In his last 3 years he was a shadow of himself. I think the band mates and specially Mary Austin would never agree with this.
It must have been moving for him to see the contents of the “mock” bag made for the film - so personal. And can u imagine Freddy carried a book listing the birthdays of people close to him. So lovely.
Great in sight ... you come across as top bloke 👍 appreciation for you sharing you past ...you always show huge respect in your views about Freddie... that speaks volumes about your character.. chapeau 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I loved the movie even though it wasn’t 100% accurate since Friday really wasn’t diagnosed with AIDS until 1987. Queen fans know the truth & i’m sure many others researched after seeing the movie or before. It’s iconic to see this man work up until practically the day he died.❤️❤️
AIDs came on in 1987 - admitting to the world that he was HIV tested and tested positive, was the secret that only his closest closest friends knew about - and they have all stayed silent about it ever since. Evidently many of them had to lie about this - and still do - and so they should ! But I am sorry to say that the film IS more accurate, when it comes to Freddie knowing his health status before Live Aid, than anyone has ever been told. - Including Phoebe. Bless him.
Robert Dinero was one of the 3 who made this project happen. The other 2 were Brian and Roger. Dinero's name is never brought up they just say Executive Produder. So we know this will be a work of art on it's level.
It is unfortunate to read so many unpleasant comments regarding Mary. The facts can be found all over UA-cam. This was Freddie's choices, he declared it in his will what he wanted done. No one can truly know what the real relationship was between them. Mary always came first per Freddie, plain and simple.
I agree, it just makes me laugh how people react about Mary, actually i admire Freddie's decisions how he made his will that majority to Mary and his parents and sister not just friends or employees he knows what he is doing and he had lots of time to change his will if he wanted to but he didn't he could devide it with Jim but he didn't so i think we have no right to judge him with his decisions.
@@borntowin6931 I do want to clarify though. Jim was HIV positive. If Freddie thought that Jim was going to die it really makes no sense to leave his fortunes to Jim. He did leave all his loved ones 500000 pounds which isnt a minimal amount.
😉🤣 Coming from the "future" (...hahaha) I must tell you that BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY has been the greatest hit at the movies here in BRAZIL since Nov/2018 👏👏👏👏
I've seen other interviews with Peter. He seems like a nice man. Sometimes nice is not enough. Maybe if he'd had a stronger personality he could have intervened when Paul was making it too easy for Freddie to make bad decisions.
you're talking shit mate.....to see a bunch of worthless actors into a moneymaking vid?..i'm a true fan...more than you think obrien...but i don't wanna accept a crappy moneymaking nothing....
My love, Freddie. My love for you is eternal! I never wanted to see the movie as I didn't want Freddie to be misportraid, however I have ended up watching it at least 7 times LOL! I don't particularly like Rami as Freddie but like you said it is primarily entertainment. He had a remarkable life, and will continue his reign as King of rock with new generations of fans. Long live Queen!
I would have loved to see Freddie at the end, at Live Aid and, another thing what I noticed is that Freddie (Malek) is not portraited to look like a funny and charismatic character, like Freddie was.
To be honest, If I were Mary I wouldn't agree with film in Garden Lodge either. It's been her home for 27 years not a museum or a sanctuary. I was watching a Rami's interview and he said Mary read an sign out the script , so let's be happy she agreed with the movie. I don't know how theses rights and royalties work but I wonder if she hasn't agreed there would be no movie since she own all Freddie's rights and royalties?
I am glad the movie ended when it did. I know how he died but I don’t need to see him dying. I am also glad the movie didn’t go to deep into the gay nightlife, the bars and all. We all know he was gay,bi, whatever you want to call it. Again, I didn’t need to see it. I don’t know what Mary’s deal is as I don’t know her but I did read Jim’s book and I thought it was a good book. I haven’t read peters book but I will. I see no disrespect towards Freddie by either of them. And yes Mary did give interviews as well. The movie was great even if the timelines weren’t always correct.
peter is such a nice guy, i like him. its a joy to listen to him. and im glad he was so involved into the movie. but when he thinks freddie smile not enough, why didnt he told the people to change it? maybe they dont listen to him. anyway, its great to hear they find a location that looks so similar to his house, i will give us a lot. the film will be great im sure.
All of the actors were amazing and looked so much like their characters. I wish it had been a little more in depth. It seemed a little rushed to me, but I enjoyed it. I give the film a B, because of the inconsistencies with the truth and timeline.
Gloria D did you listen to anything Peter said??? It’s not a documentary...... it’s a film. You can’t mark it down for inconsistent content becase of that.
😁😀😂🤣 I'm coming from the future (hahaha) and... Y E A H !!!! A gorgeous film indeed. Just amazing 💕💗💖 The biggest hit at the movies here in BRAZIL since Nov/2018 👏👏👏👏👏 Besides that, "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY the film" has already got *Golden Globe Awards* 🏆 (...U H U U U U U !!!!!!)
I wonder if the little leather book that Freddie/Rami holds in one scene is the birthday book. I wondered what it was in the movie, a journal or birthday book.
When Concerts were at a price where ordinary people could attend in the 1970's and 80's we attended a few Queen Concerts so we were Lucky we went to see them Live at that Time. Tho The Film is not accurate we Love watching went to the Cinema 11 times because of the Memories for us and we still watch it on DVD now. Freddie we miss you greatly, we will never forget you. Still Love Queen and Adam Lambert and would dearly love to see them Live In NZ.
I really enjoyed hearing Peter Freestone going into alot of specific details about the film Bohemian Rhapsody. When I saw it, I was very happy with what was the final results of Bohemian Rhapsody. And it's so very true that there is no possible way to condense 45 years of Freddie's And Queen's lives in a 2 hour and 15 minutes film. All of the actors in the movie were almost twins of the original Freddie, Brian, Roger and John!!! It's the Most Loved Film Ever!!! Rami Malek absolutely had Freddie's Spirit within his body!!! And now we are almost into 2023, and Bohemian Rhapsody will live on timelessly until the end of the Earth. I love and miss you Freddie. 💞 Let Your Precious Spirit Forever Rest In Peace And Happiness Darling 💫🕊️✨ Blessings from Illinois USA 💓🇺🇸 December 25, 2022
It's odd that the same crew who built Wembley built the Wembley set. If you have seen the original Live AID concert, you know that Bono dropped down from the main stage to the crowd. In Bohemian Rhapsody, that stage drop looks like 5 stories high. lol!
I’d happily watch a 3 or 4 hour flick. Think *Gone With the Wind* or classic Bollywood. These movies are longer with intermissions. I’d do it & even pay more. 🎥 🍿 LOL.
Thanks Peter Fresstone i so hope that they don't make the sequel at all like many fans i feel that it would be sad to watch freddie go through the horrors of Aids so bohemian Rhapsody should not have a sequel
Can anyone tell me the title of Peter Freestones Book please? By The way at this moment in time Mercury and Me is my favourite book by Jim Hutton, Jim Loved Freddie so much and looked after him right to the end.
Its actually called Freddie Mercury. I also loved Jim Huttons book. Peter's book is more detailed about his everyday life with Queens tours and schedules, very interesting.
Although i enjoyed the movie, i didn't really feel freddie. It came across to me, a Freddie and Mary relationship and not much of Queen either. So because it was about Freddie and Queen i watched it and said a good job and was glad all the details that many of knows. It was respectable to me. Love you still Freddie and Queen. Thank you Peter, Freddie would have loved this because, you guys has not made his stoy boring!
I can't say I blame Mary-Austin for not wanting them to film in her house (Garden Lodge),ever since Freddie passed the gate and fence has been a shrine to Freddie,understandable,but disrespectful. Freddie would not have wanted that for Mary at all.
But it's the internet, so we need to get pedantic. I actually read your post wrong, i added an apostrophe which changed the whole meaning: Marc Martel does all the singing, that isn't actually Freddie.
I dont. How would you like it, to display how you physically, mentally, emotionally decline dealing with the new dreadful terminal illness. Curiosity need to have its limits, decency and respect above all.
@@aliciakitten9590 🙋♀️ Coming from the "future" (...hahaha) I must tell you all : fortunately, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY has nothing about FREDDIE's hard moments dealing with such deadly virus 💊💉
Hearing him say that Freddie had a little birthday book so he could remember all his friends birthdays made me want to just start crying
Made me cry! What a beautiful soul!
I agree so much.
one of the best things about Bohemian Rhapsody is that it has introduced Freddie and Queen to a whole new generation ... which will carry on the 'torch' of all of us 'old timers'
so very true
apart from the soundtrack, that is the only good thing about that movie
You can just tell Peter loved being part of Freddies life and is so passionate with detail of everything he talks about.
His face, and eyes light up, whenever he mentions Freddie Mercury. He might have got £500,000 from Freddie, in his will, but he didn't let it go to his head, in my humble opinion.

I dont mind you making the movie hours long.... make it 10 hours long. I will just keep on watching.....
Agreed. This is a biopic about one of the most important bands and frontmen in pop music history. Don't make it an hour-and-a-half-long.
El Jay Rose Teo - two hours are not enough, i hope the bluray has all the scenes they didn’t include !!

It is unfortunate to read so many unpleasant comments regarding Mary. The facts can be found all over UA-cam. This was Freddie's choices, he declared it in his will what he wanted done. No one can truly know what the real relationship was between them. Mary always came first per Freddie, plain and simple.

I hardly ever see anyone bash Austin but the abuse Jim Hutton gets on Freddie's youtube videos is totally uncalled for. Nothing but flat out lies
@@borntowin6931 I do want to clarify though. Jim was HIV positive. If Freddie thought that Jim was going to die it really makes no sense to leave his fortunes to Jim. He did leave all his loved ones 500000 pounds which isnt a minimal amount.
I loved the film. Thanks for this insight.
IT WILL BE AN AMAZING MOVIE! TRUE QUEEN'S FANS WILL LOVE IT!
😉🤣 Coming from the "future" (...hahaha) I must tell you that BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY has been the greatest hit at the movies here in BRAZIL since Nov/2018 👏👏👏👏
Thank You SO Much Peter!! 💗👑💗
I've seen other interviews with Peter. He seems like a nice man. Sometimes nice is not enough. Maybe if he'd had a stronger personality he could have intervened when Paul was making it too easy for Freddie to make bad decisions.
MSRendrag it wasn’t just Paul? It’s was a mixture of 3 different guys. In the film Paul “represents” himself and 2 other guys.
Obsess with Freddie since watching the film..
10:48 :( even now,protecting Freddie,that much love and loyalty is rare.
Love you peter!
CatandFreddie, the more Peter speaks, the more I know about Queen, and Freddie Mercury.
Awesome! Thank you! 👍😎
Enjoy the music. l like the movie trailer.True fans willl accept this movie
you're talking shit mate.....to see a bunch of worthless actors into a moneymaking vid?..i'm a true fan...more than you think obrien...but i don't wanna accept a crappy moneymaking nothing....
It was a wonderful movie
My love, Freddie. My love for you is eternal! I never wanted to see the movie as I didn't want Freddie to be misportraid, however I have ended up watching it at least 7 times LOL! I don't particularly like Rami as Freddie but like you said it is primarily entertainment. He had a remarkable life, and will continue his reign as King of rock with new generations of fans. Long live Queen!
That's a fantastic poster at the very beginning. I want it.
I would have loved to see Freddie at the end, at Live Aid and, another thing what I noticed is that Freddie (Malek) is not portraited to look like a funny and charismatic character, like Freddie was.
To be honest, If I were Mary I wouldn't agree with film in Garden Lodge either. It's been her home for 27 years not a museum or a sanctuary. I was watching a Rami's interview and he said Mary read an sign out the script , so let's be happy she agreed with the movie. I don't know how theses rights and royalties work but I wonder if she hasn't agreed there would be no movie since she own all Freddie's rights and royalties?
I wish they’d use that footage for a prequel
I love you peter :) x
Phobe knew Freddie more than we will ever know
Well I think he has promoted himself and his stories to bits.
"Phoebe" knew Freddie really well. He is a caring guy, who was Freddie's Personal Assistant, from 1979- 1991. Thank you, Peter "Phoebe" Freestone.
I love you, Phoebe.Keep Freddie alive.
Love you Phoebe darling!
Excellent interview!
I am glad the movie ended when it did. I know how he died but I don’t need to see him dying. I am also glad the movie didn’t go to deep into the gay nightlife, the bars and all. We all know he was gay,bi, whatever you want to call it. Again, I didn’t need to see it. I don’t know what Mary’s deal is as I don’t know her but I did read Jim’s book and I thought it was a good book. I haven’t read peters book but I will. I see no disrespect towards Freddie by either of them. And yes Mary did give interviews as well. The movie was great even if the timelines weren’t always correct.
Well said Debbie x
peter is such a nice guy, i like him. its a joy to listen to him. and im glad he was so involved into the movie. but when he thinks freddie smile not enough, why didnt he told the people to change it? maybe they dont listen to him. anyway, its great to hear they find a location that looks so similar to his house, i will give us a lot. the film will be great im sure.
And it has already got its 1st awards; "GOLDEN GLOBEs" few days ago 🏆🏆
All of the actors were amazing and looked so much like their characters. I wish it had been a little more in depth. It seemed a little rushed to me, but I enjoyed it. I give the film a B, because of the inconsistencies with the truth and timeline.
Gloria D did you listen to anything Peter said??? It’s not a documentary...... it’s a film. You can’t mark it down for inconsistent content becase of that.
Yes definitely threw Freddie under the bus
@@JohnMartin22222 Why not? They still could have been truthful about what really happened instead of painting a different scenario.
Excellent going to keep the movie real
Peter... you are a sweet person!!!
33:56 than you sir ! I was wondering the exact same thing !! 😂🤩
If Peter Freestone is bigging it up, it's gonna be good....... EPIC, may i say......
And unfortunately the opposite state of being on FREDDIE's last days, weeks... well, everybody knows 😞😢😭
I'm keeping an open mind and I think it will be an interesting movie. I think everyone should do that. We haven't even watched it yet.
😁😀😂🤣
I'm coming from the future (hahaha) and... Y E A H !!!!
A gorgeous film indeed.
Just amazing 💕💗💖
The biggest hit at the movies here in BRAZIL since Nov/2018 👏👏👏👏👏
Besides that, "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY the film" has already got *Golden Globe Awards* 🏆
(...U H U U U U U !!!!!!)
I wonder if the little leather book that Freddie/Rami holds in one scene is the birthday book. I wondered what it was in the movie, a journal or birthday book.
When Concerts were at a price where ordinary people could attend in the 1970's and 80's we attended a few Queen Concerts so we were Lucky we went to see them Live at that Time. Tho The Film is not accurate we Love watching went to the Cinema 11 times because of the Memories for us and we still watch it on DVD now. Freddie we miss you greatly, we will never forget you. Still Love Queen and Adam Lambert and would dearly love to see them Live In NZ.
Much Love Peter
I really like this video, thanks for sharing
I really enjoyed hearing Peter Freestone going into alot of specific details about the film Bohemian Rhapsody. When I saw it, I was very happy with what was the final results of Bohemian Rhapsody. And it's so very true that there is no possible way to condense 45 years of Freddie's And Queen's lives in a 2 hour and 15 minutes film. All of the actors in the movie were almost twins of the original Freddie, Brian, Roger and John!!! It's the Most Loved Film Ever!!! Rami Malek absolutely had Freddie's Spirit within his body!!! And now we are almost into 2023, and Bohemian Rhapsody will live on timelessly until the end of the Earth. I love and miss you Freddie. 💞 Let Your Precious Spirit Forever Rest In Peace And Happiness Darling 💫🕊️✨ Blessings from Illinois USA 💓🇺🇸 December 25, 2022
No peter you will never be less important than Paul prenter.xxxx
Hi Peter...I liked your book and loved Queen...you are both legends!!
It's odd that the same crew who built Wembley built the Wembley set. If you have seen the original Live AID concert, you know that Bono dropped down from the main stage to the crowd. In Bohemian Rhapsody, that stage drop looks like 5 stories high. lol!
I’d happily watch a 3 or 4 hour flick. Think *Gone With the Wind* or classic Bollywood. These movies are longer with intermissions. I’d do it & even pay more. 🎥 🍿 LOL.
Thanks Peter Fresstone i so hope that they don't make the sequel at all like many fans i feel that it would be sad to watch freddie go through the horrors of Aids so bohemian Rhapsody should not have a sequel
Can anyone tell me the title of Peter Freestones Book please? By The way at this moment in time Mercury and Me is my favourite book by Jim Hutton, Jim Loved Freddie so much and looked after him right to the end.
Its actually called Freddie Mercury. I also loved Jim Huttons book. Peter's book is more detailed about his everyday life with Queens tours and schedules, very interesting.
Although i enjoyed the movie, i didn't really feel freddie. It came across to me, a Freddie and Mary relationship and not much of Queen either. So because it was about Freddie and Queen i watched it and said a good job and was glad all the details that many of knows. It was respectable to me. Love you still Freddie and Queen. Thank you Peter, Freddie would have loved this because, you guys has not made his stoy boring!
I can't say I blame Mary-Austin for not wanting them to film in her house (Garden Lodge),ever since Freddie passed the gate and fence has been a shrine to Freddie,understandable,but disrespectful. Freddie would not have wanted that for Mary at all.
Oh and in certain sections, it's Freddie voice,
Marc Martel does all the singing that isn't actually Freddie. The beginning of this trailer is Marc. Enjoy!
He doesn't do all the singing, he will be doing most of the live stuff.
Long John silver right, which if you're not splitting hairs, is basically what I said. 😉
But it's the internet, so we need to get pedantic.
I actually read your post wrong, i added an apostrophe which changed the whole meaning:
Marc Martel does all the singing, that isn't actually Freddie.
D.Dietz72
l new it wasnt Freddie mercury
no problem
All the songs in the movie were they sung by Freddy I heard mark sang some of the songs
But he was the consummate artist up to the very end :)
What about TV series? I will watch even they will last years :)
Excellent i so hope they show how Freddie dealt with his illness
I dont. How would you like it, to display how you physically, mentally, emotionally decline dealing with the new dreadful terminal illness. Curiosity need to have its limits, decency and respect above all.
I am showing respect
@@pamrush5078 Not really, you're just being a busybody.
@@aliciakitten9590 🙋♀️ Coming from the "future" (...hahaha) I must tell you all : fortunately, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY has nothing about FREDDIE's hard moments dealing with such deadly virus 💊💉
@@liegegoncalvesteixeira2080 cheers, future Lady, hope you enjoyed it :)
Good movie.
Freddie, Rami, Queen.
Royal !!!
