Adam Lambert slams Theo James' interest in playing George Michael in biopic
Adam Lambert has slammed The White Lotus star and "straight man" Theo James for his interest in playing "gay icon" George Michael in a new biopic.
The Queen tour hitmaker, 40, hit out at the actor, 38, after he expressed his "love" to play the music icon in a recent TV interview.
He was appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen last week when the host mentioned ongoing rumours that Theo was being eyed up for the job.
"I would love that. He’s a lot of Greek, and I’m a lot of Greek. Put that Greek together, and you get falafel," Theo said during the interview – something Adam seemingly disliked.

It was in the comment section that Adam voiced his opinion on the news, saying: "Yay another straight man playing a gay icon."
"That’s why it’s called acting, Adam. He might not be gay, but he is British and Greek as George was," replied one person – while others seemed to agree with Adam.
"Literally so infuriating," said one person, seemingly sharing Adam's views. While another replied: "I thought the same thing!"
