One degree of seperation. James Cameron’s Avatar - and Queen’s Brian May.
As the lead guitar for Queen, May was the picture of rock bluster, banging out the gilt-edges chords of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Radio Ga Ga” with his drape of dark curls flying. Offstage he more closely resembled a power nerd. He began studying for his PhD in astrophysics—his specialty was interplanetary dust—before Queen blew up in the 1970s. When the band dispersed 20 years later he completed his doctoral studies and co-authored Bang! a bestselling history of the universe, with Christ Lintott and astronomer Sir Patrick Moore.
