Rami Malek Helped His Twin Brother Cheat In College Once

If you have ever watched The Prestige, then it is no surprise that having an identical twin can be quite the advantage. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a brother you carefully hid from the world and reveals them as a surprise at the end. But you’ll surely pull off some shenanigans if you really want to.

And that’s exactly what Rami Malek and his twin did.

Rami Malek Certainly Have A Twin, Sami

Twins Rami and Sami sound like the kind of brothers you would come across in a magical fictional novel.

It’s true that they don’t look quite similar today, maybe because of Sami’s beard, Rami and Sami were once considered to be the same person.

When Sami needed help with his college classes, he called on the one person who could probably provide it: his brother. The task at hand? He was asked to perform a monologue from a Greek tragedy and get some extra credit points in order to pass. Knowing Rami was a total theater nerd, Sami called his brother and asked if he could act out the monologue for him.

In a 2015 interview, Rami talked about the little UCLA con they pulled on Jimmy Kimmel. “He [Sami] calls me one day and 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. I need you to do this for my class. It’s gonna give me the points I need.'” Rami revealed.

As Rami continued to share this funny memory, he added, “I go, ‘Yeah I’m gonna get my points and we’re gonna make this happen.’ And I deliver this monologue in front of the entire lecture hall and I get a few [bits of] 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?’ I told her, ‘Er, it’s just a hobby.'”
