Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek and his identical twin brother, Sami, made a rare public appearance together at Wimbledon on Friday. The brothers, both 45, attended as guests of Emirates to watch the men's singles semi-final matches.
While Rami Malek has become a familiar face in Hollywood, known for his role as Freddie Mercury in "Bohemian Rhapsody" and as Elliot Alderson in "Mr. Robot," his twin, Sami, pursued a career in education and works as a teacher. Despite their different career paths, the brothers share a close bond.
Rami Malek has previously shared anecdotes about his twin, including a story he told on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" about Sami asking him to impersonate him for a university class. Malek recounted how he delivered a Greek monologue for his brother's class, which earned him applause but also raised suspicion from the professor.
The siblings were seen enjoying the tennis matches on Centre Court. Malek, clean-shaven and dressed in a white suit with a striped T-shirt, sported a different look from his brother, who wore a grey suit and a beard. They were among a host of celebrities and notable figures who attended the event.
Also present in the Royal Box were Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, who were seen reacting to the match. Other attendees included Sandi Toksvig, Baz Luhrmann, Anna Wintour, Damian Lewis, and Prince Michael of Kent. Actor James Norton was also seen mingling with Malek.
The day's tennis featured a historic semi-final match between Britain's Arthur Fery and Germany's Alexander Zverev. Fery, 23, became only the second wild card player in history to reach the semi-finals at the All England Club. His parents, divorced, were both in attendance to support him.
