Exclusive: Adam Lambert wants to play Freddie Mercury's lover in new Queen film
The planned Freddie Mercury biopic could have another big-star name join its cast alongside Ben Whishaw, as Adam Lambert says he wants a part in the film.
Not only that, the singer-songwriter - who has toured extensively with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor over the past five years performing the band's most iconic hits - has a very specific part for himself in mind.
"I'd want to be in bed with Freddie," Adam exclusively told Digital Spy. "I think that would be appropriate at this point!
"I don't usually say things on the record, but that's the part I want. I want to be one of his lovers."
The American star also added that he has had discussions with guitarist Brian May about what the film will be like once it's finally written.
"I've had little conversations with [Brian May] about it," he said. "I asked about how times have changed as far as being open about somebody's private life.
"And I asked them, 'How are you going to approach that with the story of Freddie?' Back in the '70s and the '80s, it was something you just didn't really talk about.
"Obviously we're in a much different time now, and it's very topical so it'll be really interesting to see how they'll approach that part of his life.
"They haven't quite figured it out yet as the movie is still in development."
Ben Whishaw is currently in line to portray Freddie Mercury in the big screen biopic after Sasha Baron Cohen pulled out last year.
Meanwhile, Adam Lambert recently released brand new single 'Welcome To The Show' to coincide with his current The Original High world tour.
The jaunt will stop off at London's Eventim Apollo on April 14, before hitting Manchester Academy on April 16.
Adam will then return to the UK to headline the Isle Of Wight Festival as the frontman of Queen on June 9-12.

Adam Lambert: 'There's no reason for the music industry to be scared of gay popstars anymore'
But the gatekeepers still need convincing.
While Adam Lambert is happy that attitudes towards LGBT+ music acts are rapidly changing, he's added that industry gatekeepers need more convincing.
The singer - who became the first openly gay artist to hit No.1 on the Billboard 200 chart with his album Trespassing back in 2012 - says that recent success stories mean the industry is slowly becoming more comfortable with artists expressing their true sexual identities.
"I think there have been a lot of things in general that have shifted within the LGBT community and mainstream acceptance," Adam told Digital Spy.
"People are becoming less ignorant and the younger generation that's coming up right now are like, 'So what?' That's melting into and affecting pop culture in general.
"There's not as much of a reason to be scared of it, because people in general aren't scared of it."
While Adam acknowledged openly gay British stars like Sam Smith and Olly Alexander from Years & Years as pop musicians who are helping to change attitudes, he'd like to see more mainstream acts from America do the same.
"It'd be nice if there was more," he said. "I think it'll happen slowly but surely. There are success stories happening and that's the biggest thing for the music industry.
"They need to see that it actually works in order for them to feel comfortable with it. The audiences are there for it, but the industry needs to come around a bit more to it. They are, but it's the last piece."
As for the use of male pronouns by gay popstars in their music? Adam says apprehension about that could stem from gatekeepers in traditional media.
"There's only so much you can do as an artist," he explained. "Luckily we're in a moment right now with streaming where there's more power put back into the artist's and audience's hands.
"But the gatekeepers who make a lot of the other big decisions in the music industry, those are the ones hardest to convince on certain things. That's the reasoning for some of that pronoun stuff."
