Jane Seymour looked back on what she describes as one of the “greatest memories” of her life, which involved music legend Freddie Mercury.
The British-American actress is celebrated for her memorable roles in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and for being a Bond girl in the 1973 film Live and Let Die, where she played the character of Solitaire.
From her memorable on-screen roles to her award-winning recognition, one of the memories that the 75-year-old star could never forget was her encounter with the late frontman of Queen.
In a TikTok post, Seymour recounted the time when she “married” Freddie Mercury.
Although it wasn't an official walk down the aisle-type of ceremony, the duo took part in the mock wedding as part of the Fashion Aid charity event in London in November 1985.
At the time, the actress was dressed in a lavish wedding gown designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel.

“They decided I should be Freddie Mercury's bride,” she said, after the designers chose Seymour as their muse for the collection.
Recalling the experience, she shared that she was dressed in an “extraordinary gown” that she could barely walk in, had a “really huge” hairstyle and a wreath of flowers around her head, plus a huge bouquet that she “could barely carry.”
“I remember at one point I'm backstage and suddenly, I think I'm flanked by David Bowie, Boy George and Freddie Mercury,” she added. "I think they looked right through me, which was hard to do, considering the amount of hair and glamour they had put into it. I was, you have to understand, I was as bridal as you could ever get.”
At one point, the British actress also remembered how Freddie Mercury stole the spotlight with his signature flair on stage.
“Freddie's just prancing off doing Freddie Mercury and I'm supposed to be his bride," the Emmy-winning star shared.
As for her, she matched the late singer’s energy by “running behind like crazy” and as fast as she could, adding that she wore “this huge dress, with this headdress that's killing me, and the flowers I can barely carry, but with a smile on my face."

“And Freddie just suddenly turns into, like, the groom - and he kisses me! He kisses me. Right in front of everyone,” she reminisced, “And then he grabs my flowers, and he looks at the audience, and he throws them. This thing - if it hit somebody, it could seriously have hurt them.”
Seymour saw the experience as something incredibly special and unforgettable.
The fashion event was among the music legend’s philanthropic moments following the success of the Live Aid concert on July 13, 1985, where he stunned fans with a solid 21-minute set, singing the band’s timeless hits from "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Ga Ga" and "We Are the Champions,” and more.
This was also cited as one of the greatest live rock performances in history, according to People.
