Rami Malek Career Retrospective | SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations

[@prxncessmia]

an hour and twenty minutes of hearing rami malek talk? amazing. 10/10.

[@naledimokoena6468]

mia 11:03 let me bless your eyes 😁

[@emansheikh4700]

He is. 💓

[@tarawhite8873]

He has that narrator voice

[@ritaholdorff601]

It really was 10/10 it wasn’t long enough I wanted more lol 😂

[@Beachdudeca]

mia , agree its a much more then u ever get in a Late Night Interview

[@opheliaw2576]

He remembers the names of every single person who has ever helped him. The world doesn't deserve this man

[@ftiland]

Ophelia W I know right, his Mr Robot cast mates and crew give him the title of "the mayor" cause he remembers the names and what they do to work in their set haha how awesome is that?

[@funfun5656]

@@ftiland Does it speak to the excellence of his character that he remembers the names of everyone who helps him or to the detriment of the majority of other people who are often so self centered that they never bother to ask other people's name when they meet let alone remember their name?

[@dorisdeliz231]

I noticed that too. Seen him in many movies and Rami is an amazing actor!!

[@michaelelliott1212]

The world doesn't deserve this man? Sure it does! And NEEDS him. It also needs and deserves more like him. Other than the fact that he is a rare person who has been blessed with a photographic memory.

[@sunilsunny11]

✅

[@yenee94]

What really impresses me is he remembers ALL the names! AND he credits every single person who has helped him on his way. His high school debate teacher, high school drama teacher, his accent coach, everyone. That is so important I think, probably part of why he made it this far and why so many of the people he worked with give him such high priase. Habits like that is what makes all the difference.

[@cabelltech]

yenee94 Kate I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@claudiaalexandra8796]

It's really impressing! He always remember that all the works were collectively made, not taking all glories for himself. And I love the calm way he speaks, specially because I can understand almost all words by first time (since English is not my mother tongue). His voice is mesmerising also. Great actor, fenomenal human being.

[@maradcase]

Oh Hey. I'm Mara from Gilmore Girls. He's a class act.

[@ftiland]

His mr robot cast mates and crew, give him the title of "the mayor" cause he always want to know what people's name and what they do in Mr robot show...haha how awesome is that?

[@creativeplanetjanet]

Agreed! The whole time I was thinking what a perfect role model he is.

[@sunlightfire5925]

The way he talks about Freddie (and all his roles) just makes me love how genuine and dedicated he seems to be towards acting.

[@jsheekey1]

It's beautiful very touching ❤️

[@karenschreiber5455]

The more I hear Rami speak, the more I want to hear him speak.He draws me in. What a gift he has.

[@gossipgirl103]

He was holding back tears when he talked about how he wonders if this was the life Freddie's parents ever imagined he would have and then relating that to his own parents and how they feel about him. He has such an expressive face, you can see every thought that is going through his mind. He has always spoken about Freddie with such respect, awe and positivity. He seems to have a deep connection with Freddie despite never having met him. I like Sacha Baron but thank god they didn't go with his cliched version of who everyone thought Freddie was. I prefer this version because it is backed up by people who actually knew him like his sister, bandmates, etc. Rami did him complete justice. He's a sweet soul and a brilliant actor! He needs to be in more movies, I'm sick of seeing the same 5 actors in every other movie nowadays.

[@Highlandcoffee1]

Gossip Girl agree with everything you have said ! I too was holding back tears when Rami was talking about beloved Freddie

[@acxezknightnite1377]

Exactly the same here. The more he knew about Freddie, the more he loved him. He’s so deserving of the accolades he received after performing that role.

[@bananka4905]

well said

[@skriddlehiddles]

Couldn’t have said it better myself! I’m still crying from his anecdote

[@andyliverpoolaelts4105]

very well said. Amen to that

[@user-fe9xf5ep2r]

I love how he remembers everyone’s names... shows how humble and good human being he is

[@dtca2tx10]

I thought the same, very impressed by him!

[@heyworldchannel]

Listening to him is such a pleasure. I can't even describe it - I just feel that he is so sincere beside being so well spoken. He always reveals something personal and interesting. And he really means what he says. Thank God Rami Malek didn't give up acting. And I just hope he will never do. Thanks for sharing this beautiful interview.

[@dr.michellelavigne1410]

SAM ESMAIL'S COMMENTS ON CASTING RAMI IN MR. ROBOT: "So here’s the thing. We auditioned, I’d say, over a hundred guys. And I thought we were in real trouble. I actually was contemplating just not doing the show, because we weren’t finding the right guy. And by the way, the guys that were coming in were great, I mean really good actors, they came in and had an interesting take, but none of it felt right, and I thought we were kind of done. And then Rami came in and he totally transformed the character. How so? What was it about him? Well, he added the warmth. The thing that I kept fearing about the whole [thing] - look, a guy who’s going to rant and rave about society and how it needs to change, and who has mental illness and is a drug addict? There are all these things to not like about this person and not want to spend time with this person, more than anything. It takes a really precise take on that to add that warmth, to add that, “Wait a minute, this is all happening because he’s in a lot of pain.” And there’s a forgiveness that you can have as an audience member when someone performs it like that. But that is such a fine target to hit. Yeah, he does it beautifully. And not only does he hit it, he’s not trying. It’s effortless. And when I saw that, I was like, “Whoa, wait a minute, not only can he do this, but I can add things and layers and complexities to it and push him in moral boundaries, and he’s going to be able to pull it off because he’s got that center.”

[@MariA-uf8iz]

I started watching this and saw that it was almost an hour an a half long. I told myself that I would just watch the first couple of minutes, but here I am an 90 minutes later and Rami Malek has left me speechless. He’s just so well spoken and humble, and incredibly classy and knowledgeable. He knows he deserves this, yet he never takes anything for granted. I don’t think I’ve ever came across an actor who took the time to memorize the full names of everyone he works with. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone who remembers and recounts on-set details so vividly. I love how he isn’t afraid to show how vulnerable he is. He’s so far away from the toxic masculinity we expect from most male straight actors. He’s won me over, and I want to see him win that Oscar. Bradley Cooper did a good job, but Rami DESERVES this more than anyone.

[@karenschreiber5455]

So well said. After a 90 minute interview, I still want to hear more from him. Rami is a class act who appeciates his gift while continually evolving within his craft.

[@ТатьянаФедорова-к2ч]

Kendel Romanesco thanks!

[@maykigarzon]

I couldn't agree more! I thought I was attracted because of his good looks but after seeing at least 50 interviews I found out that he's very consistent. Such an intelligent man and a brilliant actor! Very humble and grateful. It also amazes me that he can remember everyone he has worked with. He did a low budget indie film called Buster's Mal Heart while he's in Mr. Robot. It only shows that as an actor he's very greedy and hungry. He wants to explore and takes each role seriously. Oh God, I can continue for miles.... he's just adorable! Thank you for this comment! I thought I was the only one.

[@pollitocastilla]

Amen!!!

[@rekomendasiku207]

I really want to thank his parents for raising such an amazing child into an amazing man. He's so daaaaamn great

[@MsFunnybones67]

What a beautiful person inside and out , Such a joy to watch 👏🏻

[@rosimty]

Soooooooo INTELIGENTE with a BEAUTIFUL HEART ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SC-de5to]

Finally we have a supreme actor who has knocked every other overrated regular actor into oblivion. Finally we don't have to suffer with mediocrity. This is the new way. Hollywood is going to have to step up if they want to keep up. Rami deserves everything he's about to get. I'm so excited for him and for us. He's in a league of his own.

[@bobi15ify]

I could not say this better especially the first sentence, i like it very much! And it's true Rami is an amazing actor!

[@robertvento9349]

I have always worked creatively with my hands. At 62 I am beginning a change of direction, though still creating things... and I thank Mr Rami for sharing with us that to succeed, it's to give it your all, prepare in every way you can, pull people in to help guide you and practice like you mean it, to get the results that let your purpose shine. What a great guy who appreciates every one else and his hard work to get where he is today. You inspired the hell out of me and let me know to get where I need to go, it's not going to be a bed of roses, no curtain call...! Mr. Tami ,you matter !

[@robertvento9349]

please excuse my spell check last sentence correct spelling is Rami

[@lunaluna5815]

i think this is the best Rami Malek interview I've ever seen. The interviewer asked him the right questions. He's so inspiring!

[@chacallachaise]

I concur. I've watched many. And happy that Stacey Wilson Hunt allowed Rami the time to explain and expand on several of his stories that revolve around his work so far. Beautiful interview.

[@emmaknippenborg7580]

finally some interviewer who asks the good questions

[@SofiaZavoli]

I am obsessed with Rami Malek, such a beautiful guy

[@jornalistarenatarosa4205]

so talented and generous

[@amysavincki2195]

Amber133 Lee Personally, I don’t think anyone of these guys have anything on Rami. Rami is gorgeous in a totally different sense of the word, inside and out. I have always thought he has such a mysterious presence about him, and that alone is attractive and draws me in. I could watch this guy acting or being interviewed 24/7. Just something about him. 🥰

[@sophietompkins4596]

"Okay I'll just watch 5 minutes" *1 hour and 20 minutes later* Scrolling KZbin trying to find a Rami Malek interviewed that you haven't already watched and struggling.

[@claudiaalexandra8796]

Me too! I've probably watched all his interviews, some more than twice and looking for more.

[@ftiland]

Same he's a great speaker...i even stalked all his speech,..lol

[@boringbailey10]

Sophie Tompkins *you legit just described my life*

[@zzq07]

Me too, I feel like Joe from YOU series 😂😂😂

[@vaishnavidasika5866]

try this audio book /production "Blackout" it was dubbed by Rami Malik. It's beautifully done!!!

[@eileenpizarro1558]

You are a champion Rami Malek.

[@thedailyclaire]

The level of sincere gratitude that he shows is remarkable. In every interview he credits and thanks people by name and speaks so kindly about others. It is such a delight to see someone so skilled with zero ego.

[@Sophieedwards1304]

The way he goes out of his way in an interview about himself to credit all the people that he worked with on Bohemian Rhapsody by their full name and job title just shows the type of person he is. Rami deserves to have a long, successful acting career.

[@almabrooks5177]

God! This man can talk! I had a grin on my face and I started crying when he spoke about Freddie! He’s so articulate!

[@JasminaTzvetanova]

Can't he?! Me too, Alma Brooks.

[@katestrello1971]

He’s perfect as Freddie. I saw it 3 times

[@katestrello1971]

Me too !!!

[@lehcaraz1]

This is the best interview I have seen for Rami. He is so interesting and watchable. He constantly is in motion and his face is so expressive. He is a wonderful storyteller. I am so pulling for him to win the Best Actor Oscar this year. He was so brave to take that role. It could have been a career ender if he did not pull it off. Thankfully he pulled it off and more. What an incredible performance. I grew up with the music of Queen and loved Freddie Mercury. I thought I would have a hard time buying an actor trying to be him. Within the first half hour I forgot what Rami looked like and only saw Freddie. He totally let Freddie inhabit him. Bravo Rami!!!

[@katestrello1971]

lehcaraz1 me too !!

[@madisonp6015]

The way he describes Freddie Mercury is just so beautiful.

[@katestrello1971]

Madison P what he said moved me to tears 😭

[@alishaj7369]

his story is so inspiring, i’m verrry proud of him

[@annavictoria4128]

I’m so obsessed about this sweet and talented human being, I can’t stop watching his interviews. And his voice, omg, SO DAMN HOT, I could listen to him all day long

[@dtca2tx10]

Same here 🖤

[@jornalistarenatarosa4205]

i also adore his voice so calm and smooth

[@kween_bread]

RIGHT??? There's something about him

[@Beep1122POP]

Gurl, meeee tooooo. I am totally obsessed in a way I have never ever been before. He's really special. AND HE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!

[@nelgrace1969]

That makes 4 of us..... at the end of a long day, hearing his voice is so peaceful and calming

[@sandlucmars]

I was literally crying when he talked about Freddie and said that he was a God. Because he was right. Rami was the perfect choise for this role, and not just because he is a brilliant actor, but because he is very humble and he respects Freddie Mercury so much, I can see it, the way he talkes about him is just really touching. Love this guy...

[@katestrello1971]

Kati Hernyák me too

[@clangtheo9208]

This is the definitive interview to date if you want to know about Rami's life and career straight from the man himself. Absolutely fantastic. Also that speech he gives about Freddie Mercury starting at 52:40 could be an Oscar reel! ❤️

[@jimmyjames5916]

He was holding back tears when he talked about how he wonders if this was the life Freddie's parents ever imagined he would have and then relating that to his own parents and how they feel about him. He has such an expressive face, you can see every thought that is going through his mind. He has always spoken about Freddie with such respect, awe and positivity.

He needs to be in more movies, I'm sick of seeing the same 5 actors in every other movie nowadays.

[@LetMeShineWithYou]

I loved his performance in the film. He completely transformed himself into Freddie Murcury yet I could also see Rami Malek shines through him. Hollywood needs him.

[@morenaely618]

The films NEEDS him

[@loretomartinez4136]

Oh my god, yes! Hollywood totally needs him!

[@valerieweight1370]

I totally agree with you about RamI Malek`s performance of Freddie he did a great Job and to do this live in front of a crowd of people aswell. Certainly has got a talent and playing the piano on stage with the Rock Band Queen too. Just amazing to see him for this concert too. Well done RamI again. Loved every moment. Breath taking indeed. From Valerie in Oban Argyll. Scotland. UK.

[@ioannagiannia1742]

An amazing actor!

[@claudiaalexandra8796]

He got it! And the Golden Globe, SAG Awards, BAFTA...

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

hey guess what

[@sophiataylor6859]

this aged very well

[@tylerjosephtrash1712]

he doesn’t seem to know how talented he is it’s so endearing

[@mariannmartinez3107]

I love how genuine he is, he didn’t let his success change his humility and kindness. I really liked learning and hearing him talk about all his past roles. He is such a dedicated being. I’m just so grateful for an actor and person like him. I’m glad that he has made an impact in the acting career, but foremost I’m thankful for an amazing human being. I hope he inspires others and helps create change in today’s society.

[@musiclove4635]

So glad Rami never gave up on acting. He was brilliant as Freddie Mercury. Loved the movie so much that I've seen it twice so far. He's a shining example of not one to take all of the credit for his success but with those who have helped him succeed. Rami is a rare gem.

[@MusicBear5150]

So humble and extremely intelligent. Absolutely love his acting abilities and the genuinely real person that he is.

[@manalabuhouran1502]

Rami is an amazing actor and a very humble human being. I truly feel he deserves the Oscar for his role as Freddy Mercury!!

[@LadyVaipraFallent]

"Tenacious" and "haunting" seem to be some of the adjectives this beautiful human being so very well deserves. The last message he shared is so inspiring, not only his words but the passion he puts in them everytime touches my soul. I feel I could listen to him talk for hours and hours about his experiences and lessons he's learned in life and, as the interviewer said, it could never be enough. He doesn't take lightly everything he's achieved because he knows how hard it's been to stand where he is now. His parents must definitely be very proud of him and his siblings. What a human being. Never ceases to amaze me.

[@nicolesakwe1973]

I felt exactly how Rami's mom felt about Freddie. The more I watched the more I realised how incredible Freddie was and his life ended so quickly. That still makes my heart ache. Rami put his all in this character.

[@heavenwithin81]

Yeah...I adore this man for sure.

[@sarahcate27]

He’s so thoughtful and positive. I love hearing how grateful he is for the opportunities he’s been given and how glowingly he speaks of everyone he works with, and especially how reverent he is towards Freddie. Rami is such a delight.

[@nkwari]

she's an excellent interviewer and he's a great man

[@echelonaino4307]

I feel his passion bleed through his words. As someone part of a minority group, I sometimes feel left out… but man… he is so inspiring that it keeps me going… i feel like no matter where I'm from, how I identify and what I believe in I can keep fighting to make my dreams a reality.

[@carolynegeng9675]

Definitely. He's a true step forward and a powerful voice among the industry.

[@pendekarsarden5410]

this is honestly the BEST interview of Rami I've ever seen. So in depth, so chill and immersing. Rami was incredible in this; very charming, witty, and such a great storyteller. I love the snippets of his introduction to acting and such. And when he talks about Freddie-- its just amazing. this is my favorite interview ever. kudos to the interviewer, and everyone involved in this.

[@millymel5745]

Oscar for his role, countless awards for his character and manners.. congratulations to his parents. Rami Malek is def the next big thing. He's a kind of magic!

[@stephdinez13]

It’s so nice to see that he is sharing about his strict parents at 7:20 and how he feared how they would react. So relatable and vulnerable of him to say

[@kristengoldsmith1074]

His voice is intoxicating. He is intoxicating. He is so beautiful. And to be honest I recently became a fan of Rami's after binging Mr. Robot. I knew he existed before than but watching him in that show and seeing him as Freddie Mercury I have become smitten with him. So this interview was amazing to watch. It was seeing him as him and hearing his story in his own words. Beautiful!

[@Poolgirl007]

I just can’t stop looking at his beautiful soul. He’s just absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@LittleSkyscrap3r]

He is so charming and such a good storyteller.

[@Jade-fo1wc]

So much love for this man, Thank you ALL for sharing and participate to this conversation .. So inspiring.

[@stvltiloqvent]

the way Rami remembers and credits everybody that's helped him by their full names! what a humble guy

[@maedavis5934]

Rami Malek is the Hollywood actor for whom we've been waiting. Malek earned that Oscar...and every other award. You just want to cheer this man on...in everything.

[@nicolauandreia.6531]

the honesty and modesty of this guy..... is from another world.

[@apersonsinging]

the last half hour or so had me nearly to tears throughout, i might be overly emotional, but this interview really is a treasure

[@nsynclancefan]

1:20:35 I know he was talking about the struggles of being an actor, but I really needed to hear that. I am currently in a horrific low point where I can't find a job, I am trying to get into a master's program for social work (and then a ph.d. program for clinical psych), and i am dealing with a severe bout of depression. What he said will stay with me, and help me keep pushing forward everyday, because i want to become a psychologist, i want to help kids and teens struggling, and i want to make this world a little bit brighter for as many struggling souls. He is right - it is written into your DNA, your passion in life, and I will not let anything stop me, even if it takes me years to get to the next stage in my career. Thanks Rami!

[@ftiland]

Jordan Ly Fae thank u too... depression is the battlefield I'm still in...(but good thing I have people around me)

[@Ben-yj8ye]

Will root for you Jordan. You can do it, don’t let anyone let you down

[@hanami741]

had same feelings, he is just so vulnerable and articulate, yet not posed or pretentious at the same time, i'm totally looking up to such people (irish musician Hozier is another old soul i love listening to) and hearing them speak and telling their life story is ten times more inspiring than some stupid couch talks and books on self improvement, cause this is just real, sure Rami's or Freddy's stories of such success are one in a million or even less but at least it gives us the ordinary people hope we can find some happiness in our lives if we only take the chances and work for it instead of idly waiting for it to happen, that maybe whole life doesn't have to be an utter misery

[@bessmahaneypilates8638]

Don’t give up! Best wishes!

[@norisalinatoc573]

Is it just me? I don't want this interview to end. I can listen to him all day and night.

[@JasminaTzvetanova]

Definitely not, Eiron San Pascual. :)

[@m.nicole7996]

Same here!! I just keep replaying the interview because I love hearing this beautiful gem of a human speak. I don't know if that's normal or not but-- if it ISN'T normal, oh well.

[@dg20012000]

I love that Rami names people that inspired him, he is such a graceful actor! Love love love for Rami!!! 😍

[@BnttHurt]

1 hour interview wouldn't seem enough to know him but this made us feel even closer to him knowing all those details about his beginning and journey through acting career, let alone his incredible storytelling skills 😂. He's been so amazing since and i hope he constantly get the proper recognition that he deserves

[@carronalee]

He remembers absolutely EVERYBODY’S name!

[@nineweh]

The shoot of the landing in Pacific - best story Rami ever told. Man is he a storyteller!

[@tursiopss]

What I love the most of him is that he didn't get to be a famous actor just on one day... he started from nothing and had to work for years and years to get were he is now, that's probably why he is so down to earth and there's some people out there that wants to get things done now and if not, they feel frustration but hey! look at Rami! Maybe you would get a lot of "NO" before your first "YES" but don't worry about it and keep fighting... I think that's a beautiful lesson we can learn from him (and it's something he has in common with Freddie Mercury) :)

[@Das-uo9bl]

That voice!! I could listen to him all day every day!!

[@vikkiferrana372]

He is something special. I love hearing him talk! He is so passionate about acting and still in love with his craft. I adore him

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

I've been binging Rami's interviews on KZbin the past few weeks and think I've seen them all. This came at the right time! He's so talented and charismatic.

[@gaillight7501]

He should be nominated for an academy award. He's a sweet person.

[@m.nicole7996]

He deserves to WIN the Oscar!! He's such a precious human being!!

[@goodtaste4]

Amazing interview! Especially the insight into the pacific!

[@twilightrhapsodist]

Aesthetic Pepe agreed! I love hearing stories about that shoot.

[@hanami741]

ugh yeah, crazy stuff, i'm totally gonna watch the show after hearing all of this

[@MsTJones27]

Sheesh I have NEVER clicked so fast in my life! I live to hear Rami Malek tell stories😍 and the way he describes Freddie Mercury almost brought me to tears. He seems like such a special person❤

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Great actors need empathy to get into other peoples heads and hearts. This man is the very definition of empathy and class. He moved me in this interview and in his work as Freddy and Mr. Robot left me in awe.

[@SAGAFTRAFoundation]

Thank you for watching and your thoughtful words, Bonnie!

[@mguevarra61]

Mr. Malek is not only charming but eloquent. He may have a real chance at getting that Oscar nomination!

[@PretentiousStuff]

what nomination, he has the award in the bag already. globe, sag, bafta and oscar are all his

[@kg8063]

I love how he names names and gives a shout out to his colleagues. What a nice guy.

[@squishy13]

The dedication to his craft mirrors that of Freddie Mercury’s. Such an incredibly hardworking guy!

[@cisilver5982]

I love his acting story. He worked really hard to get to where he is!

[@estrellita616]

Malek is remarkable not only as a person but as an actor. Love him.

[@riaaapratiwi7892]

I think Rami almost cried... which was very humble about him. You could tell that he had his moment of a lifetime. :)

[@SezRussell]

How is there 5 dislikes at all, this man has gone above and beyond to prepare for his roles and works so hard and stays so humble this interview just makes me smile and laugh and learning so much more about a private person!! So so proud of you Rami a privilege to be a fan it really is!!!!

[@renatabenedict4821]

I really think ramis voice is huge asset , most agreable voice, so personal and real, this sounds of course crazy and obvious at the same time it’s a unique voice. .

[@vadwanuu7825]

His performance in Bohemian Rhapsody is great, but his work on Mr Robot is absolutely incredible.

[@lehcaraz1]

I agree. He owns Elliot Alderson! That is the difference. He had to emulate a well know icon with Freddie but Elliot is all his.

[@carmelmonaghan7579]

I loved this Bohemian, cried like a baby. It bought back memories of my teen years, a dear friend who is no longer with us any more after taking his own life, and the wonderful talent of Queen as a band. So much talent and beautifully portrayed by the entire case.

[@musicmann1967]

I love this guy. He's one of the good guys, for sure.

[@emansheikh4700]

Proud that he's Egyptian. Good luck Rami .. you really deserve it.

[@imgijoe119]

it was like an encore to the movie watching this interview. Glad I saw both. Rami Malek was absolutely the right guy for the part. "Best Actor Award?" There should be an award for, "The only actor on the fucking planet that could have pulled this off".

[@brittanylawless680]

Rami Malek continues to show how much of a treasure he is. He deserves the world, and I hope 2019 treats him well.

[@animalswin2105]

I have Rami Malekitis. Nothing has flavor or texture any more. All I want is to listen to him and look at him.

[@renatabenedict4821]

Thank you rami, I spend 3 hours a day listening to Freddie mercury, I feel totally in tune with this guy, I’m now 93 years old, and I lived in London at the same time, knew “biba” and all that, I never wanted to accept that there was some guy going to play him, but when finally I did, I succumbed, and I need to tell you, yes you’re a great actor, but more than that you are a very very beautiful human being, hmmm! Like Freddie. So thank you, rami, for being who you are. Special and great! Renata

[@N59410]

Rami is an artist. He has a golden soul. And he may think that he can’t top what he’s done. But I really hope and feel that this just the beginning of all he deserves.

[@kikiballet0405]

Amazing interview. Rami keeps your attention the whole time.

[@pinkey943]

I could listen to him all day and night he has an amazing voice

[@kellywade9289]

It’s 3am and I wasn’t planning on watching 80 minutes of interview footage but I just couldn’t stop! There’s something so mesmerising about him and watching this was like watching an emotional roller coaster of a movie in itself! I don’t know whether it’s that he seems so genuine and down to earth or the fact that he is so passionate about the characters/people that he plays but it’s amazing. The way he brought Freddie Mercury to life (and especially to a new generation like me that weren’t alive to experience it first hand) is unbelievable and I’d be shocked if he didn’t get an Oscar for it. I’ve always loved him but hearing the stories about his struggles early on in life trying to make it as an actor, make me so happy for him that he’s getting the recognition he deserves! Thanks very much for uploading this!

Seeing Rami in a previous interview led me to want to see Bohemian Rhapsody. I’ve heard some of Queens music but did not know of Queen!!! I’m 65 and must have been living under a rock in the 70’s & 80’s. So happy to have discovered his music bc I cannot get enough of it. Freddie was such a beautiful and gifted person. May he rest in peace. God bless you Rami and thank you so much for your talent and for such a great job with this movie. I cannot wait to see you in future movies. 💗💗💗💗💗

This is one of the best interviews EVER!!! He’s got the wisdom of an old man with the sincerity of my childhood pastor.

I love how he remembers everyone’s names!! I can’t believe I watched the whole interview and so worth it!! My new favorite actor...❤️

[@annalitvinenko7662]

I wanna listen to him all day long. Rami is such a smart, deep and charismatic person. and his words about Freddie are so moving💔

[@larryshelton2904]

SNAFU Merriell Shelton was my uncle. Rami did an excellent job portraying him in the series the "The Pacific". I know that Merriell would approve of his work. To my eye and ear he became Freddie Mercury including the singing. What a great actor and person Rami Malek is.

Rami described his experience of "the Pacific" so well, I could practically see and hear the people

"Kindness can only be repaid with kindness😻", go Rami🕺😇

I downloaded this and play it whenever I am outside waiting in line doing some chores. The video makes me patient and let time flies without being irritated. It gives me a positive attitude. How nice can it be.

I'm so moved by his humanity, his insight, intelligence, commitment and sweetness as a human being. And you know, I think that's what he was trying to capture (and he did, brilliantly) in his revealing Freddie to us. There's a moment, late in the film, when Rami as Freddie looks at his (hopefully) new friend, and simply says, "I like you." In that moment he so movingly shows us Freddie's vulnerability and delicacy of heart (unlike his confident performing persona) that it brings tears to my eyes. Rami, I'm sure you'll never read this, but since this wacky awards season is upon us, I'd like to say I hope you win everything! You've certainly already won our hearts.

WOW! I have to say that I am completely in love with this man 😭😂 I just love the way he speaks like he's speaking to the entire world and giving them hope👏 and he also sooo freaking talented and handsome💖😂

[@nsynclancefan]

After listening to this, hearing how emotional he got speaking about how grateful he is for this opportunity and how humble he has been about his performance being a culmination of many people, I really want him to win the Golden Globe, and I hope he gets nominated for (and wins) an Oscar.

and he did exactly that

[@jackselle4607]

Rami is going to be a household name. I think Bohemian Rhapsody is only the beginning. He’s also just adorable and charming.

[@Miumiu0404]

He is literally dreamy. He's just one of those people you would sincerely root and wish all the best. He really deserves all the praises he gets.

[@denisespurlock7869]

This actor is a genius and must be recognized.

[@MevrouwtjeBee]

Rami is just such an incredible human being. Watching him talk for almost 90 minutes is just a gift for this day. But mostly the part of him talking about Freddie. At first it's like Freddie talks through him, as if it's Freddie for a moment. You can even see Rami sort of wake up from that. That gave me goosebumps! But maybe more is the part where he gets emotional talking about Freddie, about the movie, about his own life. It's been so clear through other interviews that Freddie is so special to Rami, but this interview makes it even more clear. It's just so... Wow!! I don't even know the right words to use. But it's something. Something so special and so wonderful and.. I don't know. It's incredible. Seeing an actor care so much for the person he portrait. Caring for that person in so many ways. Its just the best thing and it only makes me love Rami more and more.

introverts are the best people to interview other introverts

[@vennieand1]

I must have watched this interview half a dozen times. Sometimes just because I want to hear him speak. He makes 4 letter words sound good. Unique guy. Love him.
