Joe nailed his accent. Never during the movie did I think he was anything other than British. As a matter of fact, he had me fooled. It's only when the final credits started rolling that I realized that it was Joe.
i looked him up before watching the film and found out it was tim from jurassic park so the entire time i knew he wasn't British when watching the film lol
He also NAILED Deacon's body language on stage! It's freaky to watch him, because it's hard to tell the difference. And I play bass, and JD is one of my favorite bass players!
@@DonyaLane - If you watch Roger, Brian and John opening the memorial concert at Wembley, (it's on You Tube of course) the audience cheered like crazy when he spoke and Brian laughingly applauded him for getting the nerve to speak. I always liked quiet, humble Deakie. An amazing musician and wrote fabulous songs. Freddie said he loved to sing John's compositions. Queen said he was their secret weapon. When he did rarely speak, they listened! I liked Queen from day one, which means I'm OLD! PS, one of my favourite bass lines of his is Millionaire Waltz.
I haven't cried that hard in years. Several times during the film, and at the end, I just lost it completely. I had to cover my mouth. My mom was with me in the theater, and she just hugged me through it, because she knew what Freddie had meant to me as a teenager.
Tears streamed down my face at that part. Though I was only 5 when Freddie passed, I've been a Queen fan since I was 13. And that song does me in all on it's own and then seeing Freddie quietly getting the fatal news . . . just devastating.
First off, I just want to pay a compliment to the gal conducting this interview. She did an excellent job! A good mix of humor and serious, and she asked good questions and then QUIETLY zipped it, letting the actors speak. How refreshing! I hate when interviewers make it about themselves and interrupt the guest. Nice job! Regarding what Allen said about finding the humanity in playing a character like Paul Prenter, the line in the script that gives insight into that for me is when he shouts to Freddie, "I didn't mean it." Wow, as much as I was so angry at him for blocking Freddie from the people who had his best interest in mind, I must say, when Allen Leech spoke that line, I pitied Prenter. What a great scene... so well-written and so beautifully performed! The other line that he played great was when he chimed in about how "MacArthur's Park" was 7 minutes long. The way he said that line was so multi-faceted and clever. Seeing an opportunity to champion Freddie's song... slightly sycophantic, slightly schoolboy crush AND very music biz savvy and astute!
I agree. There's also another subtle moment that stuck with me. When Freddie is saying how all of them have families and he doesn't, Deaky answers "you have 4 million dollars. Perhaps you could buy yourself a family". Allen played Paul making a face so clearly meaning "if you just knew what it's like" that was heartbreaking
Like they said, he was really an accidental rock star and was never into the whole thing. I'm not surprised that he's faded out and gone back to a normal life. Being a rock star is exhausting and difficult enough for someone who actually WANTS to be one. I can't imagine what it's like for someone who's just going along and really would rather be doing something else!
He lives in south London, is bald and plays golf. He's worth $100m and counting so why bother though having seen the film (and liked it) he and Mary Austin were missing from the production and as such there were holes in it.
@@Serai3 it was true that he was an accidental rock star but the main reason he stopped was that he felt Queen wasn't Queen anymore without Freddie.and that's why he didn't see the point of carrying on with it.
I. *LOVE* John Deacon for that, because I feel the same way. That said, I do respect Adam Lambert for helping bring Queen LIVE to younger generations. I understand he goes out of his way to honor and respect Freddie during each show, and doesn't try to emulate him. He does his own lead singer thing-and I repect him for that. ROCK ON! QUEEN!!!
alifia afianti I liked the movie but I am Very disapointed them not show how John Deacon join in the Queen even they film that, after all John Deacon is important part of Queen and wrote many number one hits. I won't ja waste my money going cinema again I am waiting 2019 when the 4 hours long Whole movie blueray/ DVD comes out and buy that to see it whole. They should have shown less Mary and and shown John Deacon join Queen, leaving him out was a Big Mistake
I love Gwil's and Joe's response to the part where they question about sanitizing Freddie's life.. Critics just wanted dirt.. They didn't get it.. Fans wanted the celebration.. We got it and hence loved the movie..
I mean, that dirt was still part of the life and career surrounding the band, is it not? I certainly don't want a film that paints any of them in mostly or purely a negative light, but being true to history and rounding out a person by showing their good and bad side isn't necessarily, "wanting dirt." I do love BohRap, but it is a bit romanticized through a certain lens that doesn't do justice to fascinating historic events (or the timeline, given how squished it is). You are right though; it is a film celebrating the band, the music, and the four people at the top of it all and we deserved a film like that. The actual music performance sections were my favorites.
I think the movie was done well. I know a lot of people are saying they should have touched more in his sexuality but it wasn’t about just him. It was about them as a whole or a family. Loved the movie.
Jennifer vasquez in 2010, Sacha Baron Cohen was going to portray Freddie Mercury, but there were creative differences. He wanted a tell all, but Brian and Roger didn’t want that. I think it was to protect Freddie’s memory. The movie was very tastefully done. It showed the essence of Freddie perfectly. I thought it was perfect.
I agree. I've been watching all the interviews I can since seeing the film, and this is my favorite so far in spite of not including Rami Malek, and it's because of the interviewer. She has fantastic control of the interview because of the obvious research she's done but doesn't insert herself into it. Very well done.
I just said the same thing in my comment! Best interviewer so far, and I've really been binge watching the Boho interviews. Brittany Jones-Cooper. Good job!
Having seen the movie, these guys are AMAZING!! They have nailed their characters! As a big Downton fan I expected to only see Branson when Allen was on screen but my gosh his character drew you into dislike him as well as see him for the lonely person he really was. Gwilym as Brian had me fooled from the get go. Joe and Ben as John and Roger were outstanding (I loved the Another One Bites The Dust scene). Rami, blew me away, he was Freddie in everyway he could be!! I will definetly be seeing the movie again!
It's weird that critics think that the movie tip-toed around Freddie's sexuality. What movie did they watch? It was very clear, at least to me. I remember watching Live Aid when it was on telly, and the concert was kind of boring, until Queen came on, and then wow. I became a fan that day and have remained one ever since. The movie handled everything just fine. Yes, they do take some huge leaps in creative licence, but it all made the movie that much more entertaining, so I can see why they did it.
The interviewer is excellent in this and makes it one of the best bohrap interviews, she has done her homework and asks them thoughtful questions, which in exchange we get great thoughtful responses. Thank you BUILD!
Allen Leech who played the part of Paul did a wonderful job in his role. I mean everyone absolutely hates the guy even now when it may have been several weeks since a person has seen the movie. And that is a great job of acting in my opinion. Like him or not, hate him or not you have to admire anyone that can generate so many ill feelings. I just hope he does not get stereotyped for the remainder of his career because of it.
Allen's best known role is Branson on Downton Abbey, and although I hope his performance in BR creates new opportunities, the DA franchise is huge and the movie is coming very soon. If anything, he's more likely to be typecast in English period dramas.
I was a Queen fan back in the 70's, and honestly, I think Gwilym looks more like Brian May than Rami looks like Freddie Mercury. Rami's eyes are very different from Freddie's - he looks exactly like him until he takes off the sunglasses, and then it's obviously not him. Whereas Gwilym's resemblance to Brian is much closer, spooky actually. But they're all amazing in their roles!
This is true, Joe also is basically John Deacon. It's very strange, but what Rami lacks physically, he more than makes up for within his mannerisms. He definitely captured Freddie and beyond.
Watching him onstage at the "AIDS concert" scene is amazing, except I keep noticing how short he is! Freddie was a lot taller. But as you say, the performance really is fantastic. I'm just nitpicky because I had such a massive crush on the guy back in the day that it's hard to accept anyone else as being him, LOL.
@@Serai3 I totally get it! He was totally crushworthy! I'm still amazed by how perfectly Rami captured him though. He's actually only an inch shorter than Freddie! But Freddie was basically all leg and Rami isn't, so he looks a lot shorter, but he really isn't.
I totally agree about Gwilym and Brian. It is a bit spooky. Considering Freddie's heritage and having brown eyes, I really wished they had used colored contacts. I think then Rami would have really looked much more like Freddy. The movie really is a wonderful celebration of who they were then. I'm glad they didn't get into gritty details. I think that would have spoiled the celebration of the band.
Screw the critics this movie is as timeless as the band itself... if they can’t suspend their disbelief and enjoy it for what it is then I feel sorry for them this movie isn’t a documentary just as the cast and crew keep saying it’s a celebration and ultimate tribute to Freddie and Queen. It’s something the band mates themselves say they cherish and it’s introduced the next generation to Queen in such a powerful way. Love this movie and I will be preordering it!
As soon as her first question was about their wigs I _knew_ the perm whining was about to happen... Biggest trigger of them all right there for Joe. I'm convinced he'll tell that story in every interview from now on whenever he's asked a question about anything costume or hair/make up related. Like, 10 years from now: "So, you played this fantasy character with all those prostetics recently, had to sit in hair and make up for hours every day..." "Yeah for Bo Rhap they gAvE mE a PeRm!!!11" I love him he's adorable :')
I find it very interesting that Joe is able to give us quite a bit of insight into John Deacon himself whereas even when John was in the public eye you never really quite felt like you knew him. Obviously Joe did extensive homework and building the character which we all get to enjoy through the movie. I like that you hear John called Deaky in the movie on many occasions.
I'm guessing you're a millennial who is used to scripted interviews, mic'd audiences like the Price is Right, or canned laughter like Big Bang Theory. We didn't come here to listen to the audience, and the audience came to listen to these guys too. I found it refreshing for a change from the regular American format. Not everyone is a narcissist.
donttalkcrap dude can you chill out they were just noting that the audience wasn’t making very much sound which was a little odd you don’t have to be so up tight
+donttalkcrap Jesus, you sure are nasty. P.S. The Price Is Right started in the 70's, and audience mic'ing has been around for decades. But hey, you just keep showing your ignorance. It's very amusing.
Loved the movie and all the interviews with the stars. The whole thing has been great but one of the best things to come out of it all is the wonderful Joe Mazzello! What a lovely man, so full of joy, charm and enthusiasm. I had no idea he was the little boy in Jurrasic Park and I'm glad his career has progressed into adult hood. He absolutely nailed John Deacon and I never picked up a hint of an American accent. Without doubt, the best film of the year and I hope it picks up a good share of awards.
The whole casts were amazing, their acting was just superb. And this interview is just so good, thank you to miss interviewer for making this so enjoyable
As a note for note fan, I would have loved to see their fights (which were many) dramatized. I always wanted to see what the dynamic of that was. There is ONE video sequence where you see the other three banding against Brian during recording of A Kind of Magic. Then they go behind closed doors to argue so you can't see it! Freddie took most of the heat for being a diva - and he was and he caused a lot of issues - but they all had egos - even John. Brian probably was snippiest out of all of them. But damn, if didn't want ot know more about their arguing. Freddie used to say - and it's in the movie - that their fighting was what propelled him to solve issues. He needed that creative tension. There's an interview where Roger talks about "some thought they were too important to be in the group." Then another where Freddie talks about the fact that none of them could leave, "because if you leave, it's like being a coward." Interesting ironies: Freddie had buck teeth, and Roger was a dentist. Paul Prenter died of aids before Freddie, but was NOT the one who infected him. Peter Freestone tells who that most likely was in his book. He and Freddie figured it out together, and it seemed to be accidental - the guy didnt know at the time - which was more prevelant back then. Fuck. I could go on foreever. I Met Brian in 87 at the fan club. He came out in his socks after a business meeting and it was just me and him on the doorstep. The ONLY time in my life someone "took my breath away." Four years later, I hope lightening would strike twice, so I went back to the club to see if any of the other members might be there. No, but Jackie Gunn, their secretary let me come in and hang out. I was sitting in the fucking office with all of there gold and platinum records!!!!!!! I asked her about Freddie's health. She said it was just a bunch of bad pix from parties. Three months later, he died. I cried my eyes out and did again during the sequence where his dr tells him in he movie.
When Freddie says in an interview about Brian "I haven't hit him yet, there's still time" 😂 I would have loved to to see his interaction with Sid Vicious too.
They were all brilliant. What a movie. Best bit was when they were in the studio planning "we will rock you" stamp your feet twice then one clap. Amazing, fantastic. Loved loved the movie. Best ever.
this movie and the actors deserve many awards!! such a ride (what a memorable movie experience!) watching the film! it was soooooooooo good that i won't mind seeing it (and shamelessly sing in the theater) over and over again! KUDOS to all the people behind Bohemian Rhapsody movie! this took many years to complete (and it seems like forever waiting), but it was all worth it! ❤❤❤
Ugh i so hated Paul too i so wanted to throw Popcorn at the screen he was so evil and at the end of movie when Paul says the horrible things about freddie in the interview i was like you Coward how dare you
Saw the film this week and adored it. I recently saw an interview with Brian May whose children thought Brian had voiced over Gwilym in the film it was so perfect.... you really nailed it Gwilym xx I so hoped the film would have shown " these are the Days of our lives" my husband's favourite and which I played at his funeral.
so many people thought the same thing about brian dubbing the lines for him but it was all gwilym lee himself. he was the most convincing actor to play him compared to rami malek as freddie. i hope gwilym lee wins an award for best supporting actor or something.
Great interview. Loved how they got to talk as long as they wanted/needed about each question without being rushed or cut off. And they perfectly explained/described exactly what I've been feeling about the content of the film. That everything is there, the drugs, the relationships, the crazy parties, you know what it all means and you don't need it to be explicit or overly dark and depressing. They wanted a film to ultimately bring joy to the audiences and fans even though there was a very tragic outcome. I'm not sure why it's so hard for some to understand that and I think people are just so desensitized these days nothing gets through to them unless it's graphic. All I can say it I love what that band and these actors and everyone have done with this film. It made me laugh and cry. I only want to see more of these guys as the band members. They're incredible.
What an epic interviewer. She's incredible. So many interviewers are so focused on their list of questions, they don't roll with the flow of conversation, but she does, and asks interesting questions and lets them answer. Stunning skill.
What i can take away from this is that critics don't speak for everyone. I've seen movies where the critics have a movie 5 stars and after seeing the movie I asked my friend "What was THAT all about?" His answer was " About an hour and a half too long!" That is when I lost faith in critics. Bohemian Rhapsody was a confirmation that critics can't always be right, that recording executives are out of touch with the people and that Bohemian Rhapsody defies the critics and speaks for the people. One of the best films I have ever seen. Emotionally moving and musically entertaining and characters engaging. Loved it!!
As a movie fan it is exciting to see and hear people applying their craft, especially those like Joe Mazzello who we all first remember as a child actor in Jurassic Park. These are three actors that I would check out a movie after seeing their names attached.
I have never watched the same movie or read the same book twice except on one or two occasions and many many years later. I saw this twice and now want to go and see it again. You can absolutely feel these people were not just playing the characters, they were Queen. They put their solid into this. Incredibly impressed that they took on the biggest event ever and up close and personal too. It blew my mind relight from the start and I am not usually at all happy to see people playing my fave bands. They were outstanding. Rami to me was the only one that looked and sounded nothing like his character so I am not sure why he was chosen however he totally put his heart and soul into his performance and almost made you forget this.
Those who played Queen are like their real counterparts- articulate and intelligent. I love listening to all their interviews. Even the one who plays Paul, Allen Leech, talks sensibly well and looks great.
I must second these comments. These young men were extraordinary. Branson and Littlefinger and a stellar soundtrack-this film absolutely ticks all the boxes. Those young men were like the real thing. See this movie!
The Build Series interviews that I've seen are intelligent and well-conducted, and I'm glad Gwilym, Joe, and Allen were given this opportunity to talk about their roles in BR. I also appreciated the final question from the audience to Allen and Joe about how they transition from a well-known role to something brand new. I didn't even realize Allen Leech was portraying Paul Prenter until the credits rolled, and his performance is an excellent example to how an actor should immerse himself in a character. I knew Joe Mazzello as the kid from Jurassic Park and Radio Flyer, but I was unfamiliar with his adult roles until I binge-watched The Pacific (the companion series to Band of Brothers) and was blown away. Joe Mazzello's performance in The Pacific is absolutely brilliant, must-watch viewing.
Another interview of Joe being called John. This is the third time for me to see it. Hope somebody makes a compilation of it. 🤣🤣🤣. More⬇ Something that I learn from this interview is that part when Allan Leech said that there were so many happy accidents that happened in the journey of Queen that when those were slightly different, you'll not have the Queen that we have today. Like that accident that John Deacon didn't plan to make his talent on playing bass to be his career, it was just for fun but then he ended up being part and the perfect bassist of Queen. 🥰
Joe was always my favourite actor when I was a child. I rediscovered him on Boxing Day in 2018 after watching The Soical Network. Simon Brich is my favourite movie
The trailers for bohemian rhapsody were so amazing though like damn whoever put those together needs a hand shake or whatever why am I watching this at 1am borhap came out over 7 months ago
I hated Allen, but that was only because of how Paul acted. Allen is so sweet and funny. Love all you guys! I love the cast. Rami did a great job as Freddie, Gwilym did great as Brian, Ben as Roger, Joe as John, Lucy as Mary, And everyone else!

The scene when "Who Wants To Live Forever" started playing, I just sobbed. I felt like I was losing him all over again. It hurt so much.

It felt like losing him in front of my eyes again. Wanted to run inti the screen and hug til the end of time

Possibly the best movie interview I've ever seen - made me want to see the movie again
I’m so happy to know that John was happy about the BohRap movie! I have wondered about that since seeing the movie!
glad that Joe did him justice
Screw the critics this movie is as timeless as the band itself... if they can’t suspend their disbelief and enjoy it for what it is then I feel sorry for them this movie isn’t a documentary just as the cast and crew keep saying it’s a celebration and ultimate tribute to Freddie and Queen. It’s something the band mates themselves say they cherish and it’s introduced the next generation to Queen in such a powerful way. Love this movie and I will be preordering it!
As soon as her first question was about their wigs I _knew_ the perm whining was about to happen... Biggest trigger of them all right there for Joe. I'm convinced he'll tell that story in every interview from now on whenever he's asked a question about anything costume or hair/make up related.
Like, 10 years from now:
"So, you played this fantasy character with all those prostetics recently, had to sit in hair and make up for hours every day..."
"Yeah for Bo Rhap they gAvE mE a PeRm!!!11"
I love him he's adorable :')
I find it very interesting that Joe is able to give us quite a bit of insight into John Deacon himself whereas even when John was in the public eye you never really quite felt like you knew him. Obviously Joe did extensive homework and building the character which we all get to enjoy through the movie. I like that you hear John called Deaky in the movie on many occasions.
I came here to see the guy who played Brian... cos he fine 😂
Fine af....😍😍😍and a doppleganger to young Brian May!!!
Same haha. (so is young Brian May though, eh? 😍)
i came to see joe cause he is gorgeous
TL 😂
i hated paul throughout the whole entire movie. BUt omg Allan is an angel
Yes honey, watch Downton Abbey too, you'll love him there
@@Caroline-us1hn He's my favorite character in Downton Abbey and I freaked out when I watched Bohemian Rhapsody
Allen Leech is so adorable... out of character!
So true. And a good actor! I hope to see him in more stuff.
I always enjoyed his Downton Abbey interviews, especially the ones with Rob James-Collier, they were always a hoot together :)
@@cityrains6739 he's going to be in a new cbs production called Surveillance with Sophia Bush!
In character was another story 😂 hated Paul so much....
Is the audience dead? The guys are great. The movie was great. So what gives?
prinsmarsvin there’s no mic on the audience hence why they have their own microphones so that’s probably why you can’t hear them very well
I'm guessing you're a millennial who is used to scripted interviews, mic'd audiences like the Price is Right, or canned laughter like Big Bang Theory. We didn't come here to listen to the audience, and the audience came to listen to these guys too. I found it refreshing for a change from the regular American format. Not everyone is a narcissist.
donttalkcrap dude can you chill out they were just noting that the audience wasn’t making very much sound which was a little odd you don’t have to be so up tight
+donttalkcrap Jesus, you sure are nasty. P.S. The Price Is Right started in the 70's, and audience mic'ing has been around for decades. But hey, you just keep showing your ignorance. It's very amusing.
Loved the movie and all the interviews with the stars. The whole thing has been great but one of the best things to come out of it all is the wonderful Joe Mazzello! What a lovely man, so full of joy, charm and enthusiasm. I had no idea he was the little boy in Jurrasic Park and I'm glad his career has progressed into adult hood. He absolutely nailed John Deacon and I never picked up a hint of an American accent. Without doubt, the best film of the year and I hope it picks up a good share of awards.
The whole casts were amazing, their acting was just superb.
And this interview is just so good, thank you to miss interviewer for making this so enjoyable
As a note for note fan, I would have loved to see their fights (which were many) dramatized. I always wanted to see what the dynamic of that was. There is ONE video sequence where you see the other three banding against Brian during recording of A Kind of Magic. Then they go behind closed doors to argue so you can't see it! Freddie took most of the heat for being a diva - and he was and he caused a lot of issues - but they all had egos - even John. Brian probably was snippiest out of all of them. But damn, if didn't want ot know more about their arguing. Freddie used to say - and it's in the movie - that their fighting was what propelled him to solve issues. He needed that creative tension. There's an interview where Roger talks about "some thought they were too important to be in the group." Then another where Freddie talks about the fact that none of them could leave, "because if you leave, it's like being a coward." Interesting ironies: Freddie had buck teeth, and Roger was a dentist. Paul Prenter died of aids before Freddie, but was NOT the one who infected him. Peter Freestone tells who that most likely was in his book. He and Freddie figured it out together, and it seemed to be accidental - the guy didnt know at the time - which was more prevelant back then. Fuck. I could go on foreever. I Met Brian in 87 at the fan club. He came out in his socks after a business meeting and it was just me and him on the doorstep. The ONLY time in my life someone "took my breath away." Four years later, I hope lightening would strike twice, so I went back to the club to see if any of the other members might be there. No, but Jackie Gunn, their secretary let me come in and hang out. I was sitting in the fucking office with all of there gold and platinum records!!!!!!! I asked her about Freddie's health. She said it was just a bunch of bad pix from parties. Three months later, he died. I cried my eyes out and did again during the sequence where his dr tells him in he movie.
Michael Giorgio cool story, bro
@@johnrain7308 Thanks!
When Freddie says in an interview about Brian "I haven't hit him yet, there's still time" 😂 I would have loved to to see his interaction with Sid Vicious too.
@@MyFlipperLikesIce Omg I've read about him and Sid I would've loved to see it
@@MyFlipperLikesIce , you mean Simon Ferocious? LOL I could just see Freddie kicking a guy like that out of the studio.
They'll all so incredibly well spoken and articulate ! No wonder they're such great actors
They were all brilliant. What a movie. Best bit was when they were in the studio planning "we will rock you" stamp your feet twice then one clap. Amazing, fantastic. Loved loved the movie. Best ever.
Joe is so intelligent, cool!
this movie and the actors deserve many awards!! such a ride (what a memorable movie experience!) watching the film! it was soooooooooo good that i won't mind seeing it (and shamelessly sing in the theater) over and over again! KUDOS to all the people behind Bohemian Rhapsody movie! this took many years to complete (and it seems like forever waiting), but it was all worth it! ❤❤❤
Due to the Bryan Singer controversies, they will only get the awards that don't reflect well on Bryan Singer.
Seen the movie four times and I love this cast they are so passionate and truly delivered the best version of queen possible
Ugh i so hated Paul too i so wanted to throw Popcorn at the screen he was so evil and at the end of movie when Paul says the horrible things about freddie in the interview i was like you Coward how dare you
Pam Rush ikr?! I was like how dare you talk about our sweet and kind Freddie like that!!!
@@marquardtle - Pam was talking about Allen Leech's character, Paul Prenter. We all know Freddie was a god!
@@marquardtle I was talking about Paul and what he said about freddie in the interview on the tv in the movie
I fell in love with Joe. Don't know if is his big fingers, smile, the way he look, how he can be so comic. I don't really know, just love him so much.
Saw the film this week and adored it. I recently saw an interview with Brian May whose children thought Brian had voiced over Gwilym in the film it was so perfect.... you really nailed it Gwilym xx I so hoped the film would have shown " these are the Days of our lives" my husband's favourite and which I played at his funeral.
so many people thought the same thing about brian dubbing the lines for him but it was all gwilym lee himself. he was the most convincing actor to play him compared to rami malek as freddie. i hope gwilym lee wins an award for best supporting actor or something.
Great interview. Loved how they got to talk as long as they wanted/needed about each question without being rushed or cut off. And they perfectly explained/described exactly what I've been feeling about the content of the film. That everything is there, the drugs, the relationships, the crazy parties, you know what it all means and you don't need it to be explicit or overly dark and depressing. They wanted a film to ultimately bring joy to the audiences and fans even though there was a very tragic outcome. I'm not sure why it's so hard for some to understand that and I think people are just so desensitized these days nothing gets through to them unless it's graphic. All I can say it I love what that band and these actors and everyone have done with this film. It made me laugh and cry. I only want to see more of these guys as the band members. They're incredible.
What an epic interviewer. She's incredible. So many interviewers are so focused on their list of questions, they don't roll with the flow of conversation, but she does, and asks interesting questions and lets them answer. Stunning skill.
Allen is underrated. Love him, he's such a softie.
at 12:04 watch Joe and Gwilym
Ella Speir queen twins
Ella Speir totally in unison lol
it was a wonderful movie, the moment it ended I wanted to see it again! The guys did a great job!
They are all so articulate and thoughtful when they speak about the characters they play...amazing actors all of them
the guy asking the question on 28:35 was my college professor! good for him
Joe looks amazing in this interview, and he's so eloquent and passionate and funny and sweet, I just love him so much!
What i can take away from this is that critics don't speak for everyone. I've seen movies where the critics have a movie 5 stars and after seeing the movie I asked my friend "What was THAT all about?" His answer was " About an hour and a half too long!" That is when I lost faith in critics. Bohemian Rhapsody was a confirmation that critics can't always be right, that recording executives are out of touch with the people and that Bohemian Rhapsody defies the critics and speaks for the people. One of the best films I have ever seen. Emotionally moving and musically entertaining and characters engaging. Loved it!!
i can tell in this interviews and others that allen leech is amazing, and even though he played the ‘villain’ in bohrhap image he did it greatly
As a movie fan it is exciting to see and hear people applying their craft, especially those like Joe Mazzello who we all first remember as a child actor in Jurassic Park. These are three actors that I would check out a movie after seeing their names attached.
I saw Bohemian Rhapsody last Saturday and I’m gonna go see it again this weekend.
saw it 3 times already lol
Kylie Kay nice!
Gwilym is so great!
Got an ad for Bohemian Rhapsody before watching this lmao
I love how Joe calls Gwil "this guy"
When that "ehh oh" was met with silence ..
I have never watched the same movie or read the same book twice except on one or two occasions and many many years later. I saw this twice and now want to go and see it again. You can absolutely feel these people were not just playing the characters, they were Queen. They put their solid into this. Incredibly impressed that they took on the biggest event ever and up close and personal too. It blew my mind relight from the start and I am not usually at all happy to see people playing my fave bands. They were outstanding. Rami to me was the only one that looked and sounded nothing like his character so I am not sure why he was chosen however he totally put his heart and soul into his performance and almost made you forget this.
25:04. The newest knight of the round table. John Squintsalot. I should focus more 😂
Joe looks so much like Deaky like wow
Gwil owns my heart. Brian is my absolute favourite and I think nobody could have been more perfect for the role ♥
Amazing film..seen it twice!! Long live QUEEN!!
I appreciate the boys for their interview, but I think the interviewer is the rock star. She did such a great job!
great interview!!!!
I can’t be the only one who watched Allen as Paul thinking “if only Branson gave Barrow a chance” 😂
I love how people are often calling joe john :), he played the part so well
Those who played Queen are like their real counterparts- articulate and intelligent. I love listening to all their interviews. Even the one who plays Paul, Allen Leech, talks sensibly well and looks great.
love that they are in front of the corner street where those pictures with the iconic john deacon yellow pants pictures where taken.
wasn’t it New Orleans? and this is NYC right?
I must second these comments. These young men were extraordinary. Branson and Littlefinger and a stellar soundtrack-this film absolutely ticks all the boxes. Those young men were like the real thing. See this movie!
Wait there's a John Deacon camera
PeRm stOOd foR PeRMenEnT
Nice interview.
The Build Series interviews that I've seen are intelligent and well-conducted, and I'm glad Gwilym, Joe, and Allen were given this opportunity to talk about their roles in BR. I also appreciated the final question from the audience to Allen and Joe about how they transition from a well-known role to something brand new. I didn't even realize Allen Leech was portraying Paul Prenter until the credits rolled, and his performance is an excellent example to how an actor should immerse himself in a character. I knew Joe Mazzello as the kid from Jurassic Park and Radio Flyer, but I was unfamiliar with his adult roles until I binge-watched The Pacific (the companion series to Band of Brothers) and was blown away. Joe Mazzello's performance in The Pacific is absolutely brilliant, must-watch viewing.
The interviewer did a FAB job!
there is no one even closest to Roger cuteness..
Didn't realize Allen Leech was the bad guy-I loved him in Downton Abbey.
Fantastic movie...saw it 8 times!!
Another interview of Joe being called John. This is the third time for me to see it. Hope somebody makes a compilation of it. 🤣🤣🤣. More⬇
Something that I learn from this interview is that part when Allan Leech said that there were so many happy accidents that happened in the journey of Queen that when those were slightly different, you'll not have the Queen that we have today. Like that accident that John Deacon didn't plan to make his talent on playing bass to be his career, it was just for fun but then he ended up being part and the perfect bassist of Queen. 🥰
Joe was always my favourite actor when I was a child. I rediscovered him on Boxing Day in 2018 after watching The Soical Network. Simon Brich is my favourite movie
Enormous Queen fan. I wish I’d gotten to be an extra in the movie. I’m so jealous of fans who got to be extras.
Excellent interview all the way around! 👍👏👏👏👏👏
"It only works when Freddie does it"
"We need mustache's"
😂😂😂
That made laugh
12:05 look at Gwil and Joe
I grew up during the beginnings of rock and roll. I missed Queen, so I find all this very interesting.
That the boy from the jurassic park movie.. 1993
Ludmilla Hapsari “my name is joe mazzello from Jurassic par- i mean bohemian rhapsody”
no one:
the boys in every interview: wE sHoT lIvE aId FiRsT
The trailers for bohemian rhapsody were so amazing though like damn whoever put those together needs a hand shake or whatever why am I watching this at 1am borhap came out over 7 months ago
I really love them❤️❤️
i cryed in the trailer
I HATED Paul but Allen seems sweet and nice! Lol
11:54 look at Joe and Gwil’s feet LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like the interviewer ;3 very polite
INSTAGRAM DEMANDS THE RELEASE OF THOSE PICTURES OF JOE WITH HIS PERM, GWILYM!! THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT!!
I hated Allen, but that was only because of how Paul acted. Allen is so sweet and funny. Love all you guys! I love the cast. Rami did a great job as Freddie, Gwilym did great as Brian, Ben as Roger, Joe as John, Lucy as Mary, And everyone else!
am i the only one who sorta feels bad for allen just listening to gwil and joe and not getting to say much
Well Allen sure did a great job playing Paul because it genuinely made me hate Paul after watching the movie
