Katy Perry has conquered the music biz, and now she wants to make it on the big screen. The pop superstar is in the running to play Freddie Mercury’s long-term girlfriend Mary Austin (alongside Sacha Baron Cohen as the flamboyant Queen frontman) in a new biopic, London's Mirror reports.

However, we're wondering if Katy should go for the role of Freddie himself. Katy dressed up as Freddie Mercury for her birthday party, and the result was pretty convincing (see photo below.) A friend of Katy Perry's told the Mirror: "Katy would love to be in the film as she is such a huge fan. She would want to play Mary Austin ideally. Katy has a similar look to Mary and would be a brilliant foil to Sacha."

The story itself is fascinating. Freddie met Mary Austin before he became famous, and dated her for six years. He later admitted to Mary that he was bisexual and went on to date men, but always remained close to his "common-law" wife. "All my lovers asked me why they couldn’t replace Mary, but it’s simply impossible," he once said. After he died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991 at the age of 45, he left Mary his home in London.

No but I am sure they will give her a few roles. Elvis could not act very well and he made a lot of movies, Madonna has made a few, It is called taking the latest ten minute sensation and milking money from the public for a worthless movie. Very few have became great actors

I mean, just look at her.

She's a joke with absolutely no talent. The only reason she's remained famous is because of how she looks.

She might be able to. I think she should probably stick to goofy comedy though. She was fantastic on HIMYM. But who knows, she could surprise everyone.

Girlfriend is a poor term. She was described as his Partner. Her name is Mary Austin. She received a great deal of his estate in the will, if I remember correctly. Freddie described her as his one true love.

Judging from her teeny bit of acting in her own videos and her stage performances, I bet she'd be great!

Honestly, ı don't think so. I mean, you can't be talented in everything, right? Okay she made it in the music industry but I really don't think she is an actress and when celebrities who arent actors/actresses try for that, they only pull themselves down. I mean sure some people might succeed but I don't think katy perry will.

No, Sodahead means millions of dollars were spent making sure she was crammed down your throat (or ears) 24/7 and the investors made a profit. Not that she will be relevant once she pumps out a kids and loses that rack.

It isn't such a huge transition. Her stage performances require at least SOME acting ability. She can take acting classes to develop her talent, but you obviously don't need talent to "make it as an actress."

Making a movie about yourself, starring yourself is not even close to acting
