Sir Brian May is best known for being Queen\u2019s guitarist but last year made his professional acting debut in CBBC\u2019s Andy and the Band, as the Godfather of Rock.<\/p>\n
Speaking previously with Express.co.uk the 76-year-old said: \u201cI actually got quite emotional just reading the script; I got quite kind of teary. So I thought, \u2018No, I have to do this\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe real-life band, Andy and the Odd Socks are all about anti-bullying, they\u2019re all about recognising that every kid is different and we should all be proud of our differences.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019s why they\u2019re called the Odd Socks; that\u2019s why they wear odd socks because they\u2019re that little bit odd.<\/p>\n
\u201cStrangely enough, it\u2019s not a million miles from what is said in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sir Brian pointed out the scene from the Queen biopic where Rami Malek, in his Oscar-winning performance as Freddie Mercury, told their manager John Reid, \u201cWe are the misfits.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Queen guitarist added: \u201cIt\u2019s kind of similar and there\u2019s a lot of truth in that. A lot of people end up in bands because of that: they are the odd people out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now the rock legend has returned to the CBBC show, sharing an energetic guitar solo clip on his Instagram.<\/p>\n
Sir Brian captioned the post: \u201cSeries 3 of Andy and the Band starts today. Here\u2019s a little clip from the first episode featuring the incredible Nandi Bushell, and, apparently, Sir Brian May revisiting his r\u00f4le as the Godfather of Rock !!! On CBBC and bbc iPlayer. #andyandtheband Enjoy, kids of all ages ! Bri.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On his first time playing a character on TV, he previously told us: \u201cIt\u2019s kind of an acting debut. I have done a few things, I have done some comedy appearances like Monty Python\u2019s Spamalot.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as regards a straight acting role, which this is even though it\u2019s a kid\u2019s programme, it\u2019s a drama, then yes it is my debut. I took it very seriously. I felt an obligation to learn my lines and turn up knowing what the hell I was doing because otherwise, you waste everybody\u2019s time.<\/p>\n
\u201c[My wife, actress] Anita [Dobson] had great advice for me. She said, \u2018There\u2019s two rules for being an actor: You have to learn your lines and not bump into the furniture.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
