Mercury met Jim Hutton in a nightclub in 1984 and offered to treat him to a drink. He politely declined. Jim didn't recognize the rock star until a few months later, in a restaurant, Hutton's friend exclaimed, "Freddie Mercury is behind your back!" They talked, but there was no relationship for another year.
