Playing Freddie Mercury could be Rami Malek's 'Beyonce moment'

Actor Rami Malek believes playing Freddie Mercury in Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" can be his career break through.

"I could have my Beyonce moment," Malek said on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert".

The 35-year-old actor, best known for his role in TV drama "Mr Robot", said he was star struck when he made his way into Abbey Road Studios for a meeting.

"I'm running across the street where I look back and I see it's that iconic crosswalk that the Beatles have the album cover for Abbey Road on and instantly I'm like, 'What the hell is happening to me right now?'

"I run across there, meetings on the fourth floor and around the third floor I'm passing all these photos of The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and every band that you love.

Suddenly, Freddie Mercury's face just kind of staring at me, telling me, 'Don't do this'." he said.
