Mercury Rising: Kal Penn Ponders Future Role as Queen Frontman
April 10th, 2007 by dd
Kal Penn, star of the film adaptation of the best-seller “The Namesake,” would love his next role to be Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.
In the April issue of Spin magazine, Penn admits, “I’m a huge Freddie Mercury fan. I think it would be interesting to play him in a film. A lot of people don’t know that he was from Zanzibar and raised in India. He changed his name (from Farrokh Bulsara) so that he could fit into the whole … scene.” [Freep]
