RadioX, you created a space that allowed Rami to speak from the heart in a way that surpasses all the other interviews I've seen on this. It's so beautiful and satisfying to see Rami open up about how he feels toward and about Freddie in the way that you brought out. Thank you both!!!

[@jerseygirljay78]

Beautifully written... Rami Malek was epic!!! And the film.. the film was overwhelming beautiful and brilliant...

[@MevrouwtjeBee]

No matter how many interviews I watch with Rami, it never disappoints. The way he talks about Freddie, it's so lovely. And he seriously makes me feel like Freddie isn't gone. He's still out there. The movie gave me that feeling, especially when the credits rolled. He just felt so alive. And that's a pretty awesome feeling if a movie can do that!

[@darcye7629]

Right! ❤

[@Josh-os7vn]

Just want to say, RadioX, you've SLAYED these interviews with the Bohemian Rhapsody cast, best interviews I've seen in a long time

[@sonofhibbs4425]

Radio (x), someone still loves yooouuuuuuuuuu. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Just being silly.

John Robbins falling in love bit by bit as he listens to Rami Malek's answer

[@genebcolon]

Knock knock.. Malek; hello who is it? Oscar!

[@NeaEmrys]

Knock knock Who's there The Oscar The Oscar who? The Oscar goes to Rami Malek!

[@clareb8015]

That was a great interview. The interviewer is clearly a "real fan".

[@happyclam1266]

Rami is such a star and going to have such a great career omg

[@RedRosesDead07]

Best interviews ever... I got very teary eyed from how lovingly Rami speaks of Freddie. He truly cherishes Freddie as a creative force and a beautiful soul, I saw the movie twice now and it hits me very hard emotionally. It was hard to be quiet through certain scenes as I wanted to ball my eyes out... gone much too soon. So as much as I love the theater experience and seeing movies on the big screen, I'll be buying this movie and sobbing during those scenes in the privacy of my own home. The cast truly honored this brilliant band of four beautiful, amazing individuals.

[@KIgarashi10969]

Such an amazing interview. Rami really understood Freddie. I’m so thrilled seeing Freddie’s mannerisms still with him.

[@lorrainecasey749]

Keiko Igarashi if you’re on about the mouth thing he’s always done it cos he has an over bite

[@annahilferink8990]

@@lorrainecasey749 I don't think it's about that, but really the way he behaves - you can sometimes see Freddie in the way Rami casts a look or in the kind of questions and answers he gives, you can see him in Rami's new, stronger self-confidence. I guess that's what they meant

[@lorrainecasey749]

Anna Kerensa oh I see what you mean 😍hope he never loses it 👌

[@decadeslong]

Thank you Mr. Queen Superfan for this wonderful interview. Rami confirmed what I already thought about his portrayal. He plays a version of Freddie. One that pays a beautiful homage to Freddie's legacy and truly honours his memory.

[@justanoptimist303]

Genuinely fantastic interview. John was the perfect person for this. None of the gimmickry that can bring other entertainment interviews down, just two people talking. Excellent stuff (and Rami seems like a really lovely bloke).

[@katherinenavarrete6586]

Now this is an interview. Like the others, I've watched other interviews of the cast, especially Rami's. But, if not all, a lot of them follows a formula or flow on how they interviewed the cast. They all keep asking the same questions, and I can see that they (the cast) are so tired of answering the same questions every time, and we (the audience) are tired of hearing the same thing that we all already know. But this interview is one-of-a-kind. Most interviews would always want to know about the facts about a certain movie, person, etc., but this one gives us something new. Having someone like John, who actually KNEW Queen as an artist and musician (and definitely more than that), is the best decision, because he was able to represent all the fans of Queen and was able to know the answers to the questions that they personally want to ask the cast themselves. And you could also see the sparkle of passion in Rami's eyes as he shares a more deep and personal version of his experience while becoming a part of this movie.

[@carmenmariacrista2805]

"I don't want to let anybody down, but, most of all, I don't want to let me down" - what a Freddie thing to say ! Well, done, Rami !

[@viviensim9764]

What a wonderful interview! Instead of asking carbon copy questions, said questions were so interesting and Rami was able to give an insight I haven’t seen from other interviews thus far.

[@tinahamilton2164]

That interview actually made me cry (in a good way). Thank you, Queen, for giving us “Another One Bites the Dust” to practice CPR to!

[@qazwsx5177]

Haha how ironic is that.....to practice a skill to SAVE people with a song called "another one bites the dust"

[@pandatotoro]

I thought the camera was slowly zooming in as Rami was speaking, I was just so enchanted with what they were saying with such affection and respect. This is a beautiful interview!

[@sarabakk7682]

I am so glad my father raised me up on Queen’s music and told me about the 80s. I was born way after Freddie’s death but watching Bohemian Rhapsody made me feel so special, nostalgic and emotional. I felt like I have lived in the 80s even though I haven’t.

[@celiamello4292]

Awwwn loved your comment. I guess my daughters feel the same as you... They watched the movie with me for the first time and both of them cried more than myself, their mother who was an 80ies girl madly in love with Freddie and Queen.

[@sophiamcl]

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! One of the most, if not the most, in-depth interview on how Rami Malek created his astonishing performance. A gem!

[@missnazc]

THIS THE MOST PERFECT INTERVIEW I'VE SEEN FOR BORHAP PRESS!!

[@kubradurgun8064]

Literally everyone wrote the same but this was really the best interview that been made with Rami about Freddie. This is the first time I hear him say that "He is in love with the man" just like we are. Thank you both very much for this.

[@elliescott3326]

john is such a great interviewer!

[@MattJames1958]

Just for Queen and farthings

[@CinnamonEggs]

When Rami explained how much Freddie means to him, spiritually, I felt that. I felt that connection he shares with him and it made me tear up. This man is so precious

[@charlyannekirby]

Aaah! I'm in love with Rami! But JOHN ROBINS this is the most serious I've ever heard you.

[@homemadehitshow]

Tom Robbins is always serious, it's his brother John that's the silly one

[@charlyannekirby]

@@homemadehitshow Haha! I hear him all the time on Radio X. His interview with Brain May was good. But normally he's a total joke, as in he's funny

[@elliewilliams8238]

God I loved how this interviewer just let Rami talk!! Such a lovely interview, my favourite I've watched :D

[@CrashQueen101]

Thank you for allowing Rami to speak completely, no interruptions from the interviewer! I believe this is the only interview were Rami got to completely open up and explain how he became freddie in his own way and allowing us to understand a bit of that process! Great interview!

[@whynot2644]

Rami was never an actor I paid much attention. Now that I've seen him in interviews, this being one of the best. I find that I could watch him all day. He's amazing.!!!!

[@monjiaitaly]

This was the absolute best interview.

[@tinahamilton2164]

One more thing. The interviewer reminded me a lot of David Wigg and how he conducted interviews with Freddie. Very generous and gracious.

[@rde4017]

Excellent. I saw it tonight and it was great and very moving. If you don't have a tear in your eye when Radio Gaga kicks in then you have a heart of stone! x

[@emilylambourne4502]

Richard Edwards oh boy can’t wait! Does it get emotional like towards the end?

[@SeeliaVachon]

I had a tear in my eye just watching some of the interviews by the cast! I'm pretty sure I'll be balling when I finally get to see it Nov 3.

[@MattJames1958]

It was incredible

[@rebeccaviezel]

I cried the entire Live Aid performance. As soon as the cast walked on the stage. Loved it

[@rde4017]

@@emilylambourne4502 just a bit! x

[@ashmitashanthakumar8067]

This is my favourite Bohrap interview because of how genuine it feels. The interviewer was passionate about the material and created a comfortable space for Rami to discuss Freddie. Instead of the typical questions/answers this interview goes much deeper into Freddie Mercury and Queen and I want to thank you guys for it.

[@beautifulloly]

Thank you so much for those awesome questions. You got rami to talk so sincerely, his love for Freddie is absolutely beautiful and adorable. I couldn't get tired of him talking about Freddie, and even your questions about the process to be Freddie (a version of Freddie!) made him talk about such interesting things.

[@BriBeMe315]

The Bass in Rami's voice is so soothing.

[@kalynclaire1646]

this interviewer is phenomenal wow

[@aasthagautam9526]

This was the best interview ever because a Queen fan was interviewing him and yeah I would ask the same things as a fan too Thank you for this❤

[@getstracked]

Too many interviewers that seem to get work in this arena long to be the subjects of interviews, themselves, and never shut up. John Robins was the consummate interviewer, knowledgeable and passionate and interested and respectful. Brilliant!

[@curtandoscar]

THIS WINS HANDS DOWN. This is *THE BEST*, most satisfying, startlingly honest deep dive interview of ALL of the many dozens w/Rami and/or the cast. Thank you so much. Fantastic. For Rami to admit he's "literally in love" with Freddie, that he was the one he didn't want to disappoint more than anyone is just ... wow.

[@CroweDharmaReloaded]

His performance was amazing! Give the man an Oscar!

[@nickilock9172]

I’ve been watching a lot of these BR interviews and I must say this is my fave. Not your typical questions, laid back and confident interviewer and RM seemed like he appreciated that.

[@Modders1866]

Fantastic interview! Rami is amazing in this film, he deserves a damn oscar!

[@opheliaw2576]

Best interviewer from this press tour by a mile. This guy is now up there in my opinion with the best press junket interviewers around, like Ali Plumb from BBC 1. You can always feel it when interviewers actually care about the material and the actors rather than just rattling off the same questions to get some new spin on the same headline. Great content

[@taisgrim]

This interview makes me want to give Rami a hug, the dedication he's given this role is tremendous. If this doesn't win him an Oscar I will riot.

[@freddiemercury4evr]

Rami you brought Freddie's energy to the big screen. You captured his essence so beautifully. Thank you!

[@michaeloconnor5904]

Interviewer: I'm that guy. Rami: Oh s*** LOL

[@sarahjoyy]

John Robins is a fantastic interviewer ugh this was so sweet

[@treintaydiez]

This was one great interview

[@katiemedarling]

What a baller interviewer

[@jessiewessie1450]

Probably my favourite interview with Rami, he really opens up in how hard and tireless he worked to honour Freddie which of cause he did! He was phenomenal, as well as the other cast members, yeah Freddie is definitely apart of Rami now.

[@reeseslightning11]

Mark my words: this performance will get Rami his first Oscar nom, if not the win.

[@aislingbolton793]

He got the SAG nomination so an Oscar nomination is looking very likely

[@georgiahodgson8359]

@@aislingbolton793 He won! hahah crazy how things end up

[@Iomar1975]

I've watched almost all interviews Rami gave and most of the times I got bored or tired and left in the middle or, as in the case with the Kimmel so called interview, long before that. I stayed glued on my screen all through this one. Thank you very much, Radio X.

[@randombrokeperson]

Yeah Kimmel, Fallon, and Corden are trash and he doesn't even remotely try to show how intelligent he is on their shows.

[@daenerystargaryen246]

Yess...the question were in place and were more interesting..and everything elsee...

[@blanchefan]

Lovely, wonderful interview. Superfan/interviewer John Robins has the good sense and good taste to allow Rami, the actor/artist speak of how he did what he did with the legendary Freddie in his performance. I came late to this interview; glad I found it! :)

[@JasminaTzvetanova]

"It's not really a question.." :) That's the essence of it. It was a feeling, that shared feeling about Freddie. Thank you, John Robins and Radio X! The best interview with Rami Malek about Bohemian Rhapsody of all the lot I've seen.

[@adrianasantillana4763]

I just love of chill and incredibly smart Rami is.

[@silmaril]

This was such an incredible interview. I watch a lot of interviews with actors and often I get the feeling that there’s a sort of tension in the room, because all parties involved just want to get it over with. I didn’t get that feeling here at all, and John was so tactful and respectful. Very well done, I think Rami appreciated the care you took with setting up a comfortable interview. It was great to see him speak so freely about playing Freddie. Such a shame the video doesn’t have as many views as it deserves.

[@sephonie2008]

These are the best interviews I have seen you understand and ask the questions that real queen super fans want asking

[@pshrillart3461]

First of all. I think John Robins fell in love with Rami in this interview. (Just like I get even hopelessly in love seeing him here) Second of all. I can't handle the editings who is responsible for it I need to know can they get some appreciation I absolutely love it.

[@RadioX]

We will pass this on to our talented video team!

[@pshrillart3461]

Radio X please do thank you and again I love this interview!

[@avablucher8721]

Can we just appreciate the fact that the interviewer did not interrupt Rami when he was speaking 👏🏼 also Rami is an amazing human being he’s so wise and such a kind and gentle soul 🥺

[@renaldosusilo2181]

[@chantelleadlington]

What a fantastic interview! I watched the film on the 24th, then saw it again the next day because of how much I loved it!

[@rebeccaviezel]

This is a fantastic interview. Have not seen any like it with Rami. You made him feel extremely comfortable and in no other interview did I see Rami describe Freddie in such a detailed way. I loved watching this! Excellent job! Rami Malek for the Oscar!!!

[@Lisa-xm4bw]

I never heard of Rami before his role in Bohemian Rhapsody. After seeing the movie, I thought Rami played an excellent role of Freddie Mercury. I love Queen! I really enjoyed the movie! I laughed, cried, It was emotional!

[@222debster]

This is the best interview I've seen on the subject. Rami was allowed to really say how he felt about Freddie and doing the movie. Hopefully the critics will watch this and understand this biopic.

[@brittanylawless680]

I'm so glad SBC was given the boot and Rami was brought on.

[@MattJames1958]

So am I, Cohen would have made it a joke

[@davidkornblatt991]

I am not both actors were fine for the role.

[@kylergarcia7359]

I think it would've been interesting to see what Cohen would do with it, but I think they made the right choice by going with Rami. It really seems like he's put his heart and soul into this performance.

[@aratrikaroy8284]

I agree.

[@BriBeMe315]

These are hands down the best interviews that I've seen the cast do. Well done.

Okay can I just say that we need way more interviewers like this man. He was engaged and talked about interesting and important aspects of the film and didn’t make a cheesy or inappropriate joke to try and ease the tension. If it takes a superfan to do these interviews please do it. I can’t stand the cringe from most interviewers.
