The first interaction between Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) and Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton) in the film is when Freddie is looking for the members of Smile after their show and Freddie compliments Mary's coat. In reality, Brian May (Gwilym Lee) had met Mary and Freddie had seen her working at Biba. Brian and Mary had gone on a few dates but it wasn't going anywhere so Freddie expressed to Brian he was interested in her. Brian introduced the two of them and Freddie asked her out on a date on Freddie's 24th birthday. She said no but Freddie persisted and they went on their first date the next day. When Freddie proposed to Mary in the film, it is very obviously hinted that they had just had sex, both of them being naked and covered by sheets. In reality it was Christmas and Freddie gave her a big box, and inside that box was a smaller box, and inside that box was a smaller box, and so on till she found the ring. Although in the movie they eventually break up and lose track of each other for some time before reconciling as friends, in reality Mary always remained a part of Freddie's life, as he employed her as the band's company secretary for their music and publishing business. She also nursed him during his final illness.
