Ross McCall (Young Freddie in The Miracle MV) Questions & Answers on Reddit

<<He was a very kind, unassuming man, actually. But he was also the lead singer in one of the biggest bands in the world. When we shot the video it was around the time he had just been diagnosed too, so his energy was lower. The shoot was very private, which was great, so we had time to hang out and drink tea. The film was ultimately directed by a friend of mine, Dexter Fletcher, and I thought he handled it beautifully. Rami ia also a pal of mine and I thought he smashed it.>>

<<Thanks. Yeah, I studied a lot. Research is a big part in an actor's life. This was certainly a job to dig into. The producers sent me boxes of VHS video tapes. All their videos and live concerts. I watched them and began to pick out a few signature moves I noticed Freddie was using over and over. None of the video was choreographed, it was literally made up and improvised. I had bits of it rehearsed using a broom as a mic stand in my house as a kid, but for the most part, we sort of winged it.>>

<<He mentioned that we should go and do their next tour with them. No joke. It didn't materialize due to his condition, but the thought was planted. It was also reported in the press that he thought I did a better Freddie than him. Kidding, of course, but a huge compliment.>>
