Malek recalls shooting “Bohemian Rapsody” as one of the greatest experiences in his life. It also gave him a chance to build the most outstanding friendships, which hopefully would last for a lifetime.
On the red carpet, he said:
We call it our own band now. Beginning the film with Live Aid was a baptism by fire.
