    Adam Lambert Auditioned for Latino Role in Lady GaGa's 'A Star Is Born'

    AceShowbiz –
    Adam Lambert auditioned for the role of Lady GaGa’s gay pal in “A Star Is Born” even though he knew he was a bad fit for the part.

    Keen to be part of Bradley Cooper’s movie, the singer agreed to test for the role of Ramon even though he wasn’t Latino.

    “It was so funny to me, because they told me about it and they were like, ‘She’s going to have, like, a gay best friend,’ and I was like, ‘OK, that could be cute,’ ” Adam said during an appearance on the latest episode of podcast “Brenda, Call Me! With Courtney Act and Vanity”, “and then I got the script and it was like… He was a Latin American character, like he was a Latino character.”

    “His name was Latino, a lot of the slang that he was using (was Latin). He was calling her (Gaga’s character) ‘Mami’ and all this stuff, and I was like, ‘Now how is this gonna work? Should I just not go to the audition? This is not my part.’ ”

    The part eventually went to “Hamilton” actor Anthony Ramos.

    Anthony Ramos, Lady GaGa, and their castmates went on to get nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the SAG Awards while the movie received numerous accolades including an Oscar, Golden Globe, and several Grammys.

    Adam Lambert himself is no stranger to acting. He guest-starred on several episodes of “Glee”, joined TV movie “The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again”, made a cameo appearance in Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and lent his voice to animated film “Playmobil: The Movie”.

    Apr 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sons of Apollo singer Jeff Scott Soto was almost recruited to join Queen before Adam Lambert landed the gig.
    The former Journey rocker, who was one of the vocalists for tribute act “Queen Extravaganza”, reveals there were “discussions” about him joining Brian May and Roger Taylor as Paul Rodgers’ replacement – but his dream gig was not to be.
    “I can’t go into the specifics and I don’t wanna go into anything that throws caution to the wind, basically. I can’t really elaborate. There were discussions, let’s just put it this way,” he tells web personality Miles Schuman.
    “There was a short little window of time before Adam that there was a discussion and it didn’t get past that. So I’ll just leave it at that. I value my friendship and everything that I have with those guys, so I’m not gonna say anything to pat myself on the back just for people to go, ‘Hey, you should have…’ It’s not necessary…”
    “There were inklings at one point, and it just didn’t turn into anything.”
    Meanwhile, Soto and bassist pal Kuky Sanchez joined May and Taylor from their homes for a virtual performance of Queen’s “We Are The Champions” earlier this month.
