Mike Myers Has A History With Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

Sure, Mike Myers is in the upcoming Queen biopic 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' But the British rock band's first appearance in a Mike Myers movie happened years earlier in 'Wayne's World.'

*He’s like that cool uncle that only shows up at family reunions*

Wow! Mike Myers does a really good Dr. Evil impression!

[MiniLemmy]

I loved the subtle Wayne’s World reference in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody - “I want a song that people will crank up the volume and bang their heads to in their cars - Bohemian Rhapsody is will never be that song” - I didn’t pick up on that line until I learned that the record producer in the movie was played by Mike Myers!! It struck me then how clever that quote was!

I gotta say as a Brit Mike Myers does us proud he totally gets us from our music to our humour. I've never been so proud to be British than when I saw our flag on his pants in Austin Powers! 🤣🤣🤣 Also the fact he's clearly a massive Queen fan makes me love him more!

What makes Colbert better than Fallon, the fact he steps back and actually is endearing letting the guest always share rather than fake laughing every 3 seconds meanwhile handling segways and fluidity in conversation without seeming jarring through each transition. Much love Stephen.

Mike is such a humble normal guy and it’s great he’s proud of his British heritage

[KentTallKid]

I love Mike Meyers. He was almost in tears, you can tell that man is grateful for his life and I appreciate his contributions to our society.

[TheTacticalMess]

Mike Myers is so incredibly charming. I would love to just have a long conversation with him.

I met this guy 5 years ago in green park London at midnight when we finished work. He was an absolute gentleman. Had a chat for 5 minutes and his pal took a picture for us. Would never have a bad word to say about mr Myers, true professional and an absolute squire! Much love 👍👍👍

When I was a kid, I talked to Mike Myers on the phone once. My moms friend happened to be at the same party as him, and the friend told him that I had made my mom do the headbanging part when we were listening to Bohemian Rhapsody in the car. He wanted to talk to me because he loved that kids were still watching waynes world and doing the headbang thing. hes a really cool, nice guy.

mike myers's career has now come absolutely full circle

[aaronmicalowe]

Mike Myers, a person who really appreciates his life more than he can say. He's a lucky guy.

I’m a massive music fan, but Queen was out of my generation. Literally, it was Wayne’s World that cemented the song into my head, and had all my peers in school singing the song. I’d dare to say Wayne’s World gave pop recognition to the song to the newer generation

[JulietteReacts]

He seems like such a genuine guy. It's so endearing.

[MakoRuu]

I'd love to see Mike Myers make a comeback.

In the film, the bloke carried the umbrella because he couldn't remember passwords and he knew the British wouldn't shoot him with a brolly . It's based on a true story

[frozenzoo]

We need more mike Myers in our lives. I love his stories!

[grabasandwich]

Hopefully the song Bohemian Rhapsody charts a THIRD time!

Mike Myers is a simple and humble man who just happens to be brimming with talent, creativity and a phenomenal artistic reach that no one can touch. His line in Bohemian Rhapsody is *Chef’s Kiss*. Mike Myers is the quintessential Canadian ambassador! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
