    He talks about winning an Oscar as a joke and he actually won one he’s unreal
  • Rami seems very humble and grounded. He brings up the makeup artist and talks about how great she is. That’s unusual, most actors don’t share the spotlight ( I know, I’m a Special FX, makeup and practical Fx artist myself). He seems to appreciate every opportunity he gets. He was simply amazing as the late great Freddy and a great actor.
  • @nagone11
    His performance as Freddy was ..uncanny and as close to perfect as you could get..unbelievable.
  • Austin Butler actually talked to Rami, asking for advice about taking on the role of someone who actually lived. He told Austin that it's not about turning into the person and being exactly like them, it's getting to the very essence of them - the human aspect of them. That helped Austin a lot as he was working on his role of Elvis. Advice well-received. Both are amazing actors.
  • @MrMattDat
    I absolutely love what Rami did with that role. He truly honored Freddie and the movie was fantastic.
  • @mrd49995
    He didn't play Freddie, he BECAME him.
  • @SeaD33r
    He is literally just the cutest, most adorable person.
  • @user-gh2lf1zw3r
    I wasn’t even a fan of Queen, I was too young. But this film and Rami were amazing. I liked how the film was more about his life, than his death.
  • @seanananana4175
    You can still see bits of his Freddy Mercury in him now, shows how much he truly became Freddy for the movie.
  • @klinstar
    He is an unbelievable actor. I think Freddie Mercury reincarnated there for a while, and he found a very deserving actor to be his vehicle
  • Rami is right.. ""Cant wait to introduce this movie for the younger generations"" And after i accidentally watch this movie , as a 15yr old im totally obsessed with queen rn.
  • @FairyKing112
    There has never been an actor who fit the role as perfectly as Rami. Like someone else pointed out. He wasn't playing Freddie, he became Freddie and was Freddie. The best performance by any actor that I have ever seen in my life
  • @ReelReports
    Just saw the movie tonight. Unreal performance! Absolutely incredible.
  • @ryanscarola
    I think Rami Malek will win an Oscar this year!
  • @Malaya06
    I cried when it showed him walking into a room with his sun glasses on and then the back of him walking away. I screamed "There He Is!!" In front of my whole family. I got chills as I reached for the screen. And my sister said "That's whose playing him" ... I was awe struck and began to cry. Thank you from my soul for your performance. You made me feel like I was actually watching Freddie Mercury. I have now watched it 13 times. Unbelievable. Wow!! ❤❤❤

    This dude is a performer, he actually somehow makes a Fallon interview entertaining
