When Freddie Became Jesus

He's such a pleasure to watch that if I were a mad billionaire who hosted parties that people came to, just because there was a lot of booze and freaky sh*t going on, I'd hire Ian Bell, strip him naked, oil him up and make him practice his cover drive for hours on end in a giant birdcage.
