He is pretty unrecognizable in the film and is only shown for about a split second. If you've seen the film, do you remember when Freddie notices a guy while he is talking to Mary on the phone at a truck stop? The man wears flannel, a trucker hat, and has long hair, and a beard. Yep, that's Lambert! Craig Sjodin/Getty Images Lambert has been touring with Queen since 2011. They met when Queen performed with Lambert during his time on American Idol.
