"It will never be perfect"
Bohemian Rhapsody Star Rami Malek defended the film's depiction of the late Queen's leader Freddie Mercury for not showing "the whole story of Freddie Mercury".
Talk to The Hollywood Reporter, Malek said that they wanted to show everything they could in the biopic, but that they were forced by the "two o'clock" that they had to tell.
Malek said, "During these two hours, I know that these men want to celebrate Freddie's life, and there was a conscious effort not to make it a hedonistic and salacious film.
"I think we all would have liked to show more Freddie's relationship with Jim [Hutton] towards the end of his life. This relationship was absolutely beautiful, and if I had it my way, my boy, would I love to add an extra hour to this movie and fill in some gaps? "
He added: "It will never be perfect to tell the story of a man on whom we could make countless documentaries and countless miniseries."
Malek said the purpose of the film was to highlight "what stereotypes [Mercury] destroy. He continued: "He and the group canceled each convention of what music should be and how human beings should act in public. He is a revolutionary in that he has just refused to be segregated or marginalized.
"I know this film will always have polarizing aspects. There is no way to get around it. You can make the other version of this movie, but we had to focus on a limited period of time and we always wanted to close the movie with Live Aid. "

Meanwhile, Brian May congratulated Rami Malek for describing the Mercury earlier in the week (Nov. 23) after the movie hit the global box office.
The biopic made its debut with mixed reviews in October, though critics were almost unanimous in praising Malek's portrayal of the legendary leader.
May said, "It's amazing … without a doubt, it will be on the list of Oscar nominations and well-deserved," May told the press association.
