Rami Malek Inspired by <br />Freddie Mercury for 'Bond' Role.<br />Malek will play Safin, <br />the main antagonist in the upcoming <br />James Bond flick, 'No Time to Die.'.<br />He admits that the Queen frontman <br />has inspired his performance.<br />If I went in there and tried to make a carbon copy of someone, what joy or fun would that be for anybody? I guess that may be a lesson I learned <br />from Mr. Mercury. <br />If it's not original, then why bother?, Rami Malek, to 'Empire' magazine.<br />The star also revealed that he <br />has tried to blend his own traits <br />with those of classic Bond villains.<br />I've pocketed some things from some of my favorites. But I tried to everyday imbue this character with something I thought made sense for the character, but might also at the same time be shocking and unnerving, Rami Malek, to 'Empire' magazine
