Biopics are not a new concept in the film industry, but as much as we love these movies, it’s a huge challenge for our favorite actors who often need to forget themselves when it comes to depicting a real person on the screen. Transforming into these real-life characters is overwhelming at times, especially in the case of negative roles.

That said, our beloved stars never fail to amuse us with their dedication and efforts, and we have an entire list as proof. Let’s have a look at some of the artists who literally took our breath away with the way they represented their on-screen characters!

Rami Malek: Freddie Mercury (Bohemian Rhapsody)

Freddie Mercury is not alive today, but had he been still here, he would have been amazed the way Rami Malek played him on screen. There is no room for question that Rami’s performance in Bohemian Rhapsody is one of his best works until now, and he deserved every accolade that came along.

To achieve a realistic look, the actor had to use prosthetics, especially to make the teeth and nose look just like that of Queen’s lead singer. All thanks to the star – even the millennials know about the band now, and the legendary music icon will not be forgotten anytime soon.
