In the film Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) meets Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) after seeing them perform in Smile with Tim Staffell (Jack Roth) before he quits. Freddie approaches them and asks to be in the band. In reality, Tim and Freddie were both attending Ealing Art College together when Tim introduced him to Brian and Roger, who were attending separate schools, in the late 1960's. Freddie had in fact become roommates with Brian and Roger while they were playing as Smile, and had wanted to join the band but couldn't due to the lack of open positions. He instead joined other bands while Smile was working on their first album, and also did occasional background vocals for Smile. In 1970, Tim left Smile and Freddie was in-between bands. Freddie took on the role of lead singer and after three different bassists John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello) joined in 1971.
