@rockhistory_: By that time, Queen was already a global hit machine (The Works had just been released), and Freddie was living the high life in Kensington (at his famous Garden Lodge), collecting antiques, art, cats, extravagant clothes, and whatever else took his fancy. He had no problem admitting that he enjoyed financial success. In other interviews from the same period (such as with David Wigg), he also said things like “I love the money, that’s what keeps me going,” but always with humor and without false modesty. This clip has gone super viral because it contrasts with the typical “humble” response given by many celebrities. Freddie was completely transparent: he worked hard, earned a lot, and spent it with gusto. He said he loved buying expensive gifts for his friends and that he was “programmed to spend.” It’s a perfect example of Freddie’s charisma: flamboyant, honest, and absolutely unforgettable.
