We've got some fan-snuck footage of Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, and it's eerily similar to the original.
The upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody apparently features the iconic 1985 Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium.We know this thanks to newly released footage obtained by The Sun, which was shot by some lucky soul present for the filming.
And we are here for it.
Compare Malek's performance to Mercury's original below.
It really is eerie.Fans on Twitter are definitely impressed.

\u201cthe look on Brian May's face watching Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury just made me feel emotional\u201d— jett rink (@jett rink) 1505232573
It remains to be seen whether or not we'll get a Joaquin Phoenix/Walk the Line-style homage performance from Malek or if the movie will feature backing tracks of Freddie's legendary voice.
But that stage jog is basically perfect, so fingers crossed.
