Rami Malek of "" has an identical twin brother, who has been around for 37 years — same as Rami, weirdly — but people are only now becoming aware of the fact.
Better still, Rami's twin is named Sami.
"I was today years old when i found out @ItsRamiMalek had an identical twin named Sami. Obsessed," tweeted one fan.
"I'm still fascinated by the fact that Rami Malek has an identical twin brother," another wrote.
"I feel like not enough people know about Rami Malek's hot, bearded, teacher identical twin brother. Just trying to educate," said a third.
Rami has spoken about his twin brother before, during a 2015 appearance on
"He's an identical twin, yeah. We don't look as much alike as we used to but yeah, we're identical," Malek said.
"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 to get my degree.'"
Apparently, the professor was offering extra credit to anyone who delivered the performance.
"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,'" Rami said.
"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?'"
The professor, thinking something was up, pulled Rami outside and asked about his performance, which had impressed her, and told her simply it was, "just a hobby."
