Rami and Sami Malek
The Bohemian Rhapsody star has an identical twin brother, who works as a teacher. Rami brought his brother to the Golden Globes in January 2019. Back in 2015, the actor admitted that he and Sami switched places when they were in college. “He’s an identical twin, yeah. We don’t look as much alike as we used to but yeah, we’re identical,” Rami said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! at the time. “So he calls me one day … he goes, ‘Hey, do you know a Greek monologue from a Greek tragedy?’ Yeah, of course, I’ve just been doing this for four years.’ He goes, ‘Listen, I need you to come down to my university’ — a major American university here in Los Angeles — he goes, ‘I need you to do this for my class. It’s gonna give me the points I need.'”
“So I make it to the lecture hall, [the professor] pulls me in the class, she goes, ‘Hey, are you ready to do this?’ I go, ‘Yeah I’m gonna get my points and we’re gonna make this happen,'” he explained. “And I deliver this monologue in front of the entire lecture hall and I get a few applause, people dig it. And I think she starts looking at me kind of accusatorially like, ‘Where the hell did you come up with that?'”
