Rami Malek’s portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody went far beyond appearance and voice. To embody Mercury’s flamboyant stage presence, Malek worked with a movement coach to master his unique performance style, from his onstage movements to his mannerisms. He wore prosthetic teeth to replicate Mercury’s distinctive grin and practiced singing extensively to perfect the lip-syncing and breathing, even though the vocals were mimed. The result was a stunningly authentic performance that captivated audiences and critics alike, earning Malek the Academy Award for Best Actor and bringing one of rock’s greatest icons to life.
