The rocker wanted to make sure the casting of Mary Austin for the new Queen film was perfect.
Brian May has stunned Queen fans by revealing he dated late singer Freddie Mercury's longtime companion before she became the rocker's muse.
A day after actress Lucy Boynton was cast as Mary Austin in the upcoming Queen biopic, the guitar great explains she was once his date.
May reveals to Yahoo! Music Freddie asked for permission to ask Mary out after she and Brian had decided they were better friends than lovers.
"Strangely enough, Mary was the girl that I picked out as somebody fabulous, and I was kind of going out with her," Brian explains. "Freddie came up to me one day and said, 'Are you serious with Mary? Can I ask her out?' And he did, and they were lovers for a long time."
