He’s actually Egyptian in real life! So that role was perfect for him! And it paved the path for him to win various awards for Bohemian Rhapsody, all the way up to the Oscar!
He said he hated being cast in roles which portrayed Middle Eastern as villains the other associated stereotypes. I’m happy for him that he found a role which honoured his Egyptian roots.
@@megurineziam5900 Of course Egyptians were Pharaohs but the more recent anti-free-speech 'liberal' mindset regarding any non-European actor portraying their pre-20th century ancestors is very prickly indeed. Try giving an African heritage actor a film role involving a costume true to that of his 18th century forebears and you're likely to be hung drawn and quartered. For pandering to "racist" "stereotypes". Personally, I think grass skirts are very appealing on all sorts ;)

He is big Johnny Depp fan! His girlfriend when they were very young once explained that, Rami always said, what would Johnny Depp do. One halloween he dressed up as Edward Sissorhand.
I just love the fact that he is Egyptian, it makes Ahkmenrah so believable! I love NATM and I always will! That trilogy is a masterpiece, with a proper reason to bring together all these amazingly interesting historical personalities together
True, he stole the show. As a kid, i was dissapointed that he didn't get more screentime especially in the second movie. Bohemian Rhapsody was for sure the movie that i got to known him a lot just from his name but Night At The Museum was the first movie that i didn't know who he his name was but know his face. That's why when i watched BoRhap, i was like "wait have i seen this guy before?" and he was that mummy in Night At the Museum
@@LizFoley-yh7iv No, he played Akh in all 3 iterations of Night At The Museum. His roles in the 1st two were quite small, but he was there in all 3, and he had a lot to do in the last one.
the way he goes from being his own ancestors in comedic way to perfectly imitate Freddie Mercury and being villain in an ending to Daniel Craig's James Bond is just a masterpiece of acting skill
I remember the younger me being so overwhelmed with the idea that everything can come to life in a museum, I still am. It really opens up one's imagination and fantasy. I used to imagine about what I'd sneak inside there for it to become alive, Archie comics were one of those XD
The Freddie speaking voice is strong in this one! :-P (And he's wearing dark brown contact lenses here - I still wonder why he didn't have brown lenses as Freddie?)
It wasn’t because of him being allergic. They were worried that it wouldn’t be able to read his emotions when there would emotional scenes to which Feddie sometimes it didn’t express it out loud.
I remembered Rami Acted in: The Pacific Twilight: Breaking Dawn The War At Home The Night At The Museum Mr. Robot And Bohemian Rhapsody Thats just what i got feel free to add more
Same! No wonder when I watched Bohemian Rhapsody and saw him,I can’t help but think that I’ve seen him before Turns out he was a part of my childhood because I watched Night at the Museum growing up! XD
Why nice? I mean, I think Malek's great but nationality or "heritage" has nothing to do with an actor playing a role. Would you be against a non-Egyptian playing a Pharaoh?
@@khould8878 or blacks and subsahariasn to play egyptiasn as well , they should allways cast egyptians ........and if coptics like rami in this c ase even better
Rami Malek has already achieved so much in such a short time! I can’t imagine what else is in store for him in the future! Whatever it will be I am sure it will be fantastic!
I can not tell how much NATM influenced my life. It might be stupid to say but it's one of the reasons why I love history till now. Just imagine me, a Chinese little girl who barely knew English went on Google and searched for English introductions for these characters. I was a little disappoint while I found Ahkmenrah was not real in history but what's the matter? I digged in Egyptian culture for over a half year. I'd even say I watched BoRhap half for Rami, half for Queen. But I didn't imagine it would take me into the Queen fandom, which I'm so glad to be in, and definitely will influence me forever, too! Anyway, NATM was the best dreamland I had when I was a kid, but it's the time to leave the party. Goodbye, It's sunrise.
I wanna thank personally director manager everyone else of this movie for bringing rami into the picture of pharaoh because lets be honest here for a moment no one else could play pharaoh like him hes got the looks hes got the charisma and hes everyone's favourite ❤️
I loved him in Night of the Museum as a kid, and I looked for movies with Rami in it after that. When I saw that he would be.playing Freddie I freaked out. I love him so much im so proud of how far he's come
Night at the museum was a gift of a movie franchise and was even more iconic for casting people who fit the cultural backgrounds of the characters they played too. ALSO Robin Williams was in it and a very gorgeous Rami Malek
I just realized that this is Rami. Woah. I love Rami and I remember when I was little I had a crush on Ahkmenrah in Night At The Museum. Weird how things come back to you.
@@LEEKOPHOBIA It wouldn't make me fret. Neither the other way around. I like it when characters usually played by white people are played by black actors (Sophie Okenado playing Nancy in 'Oliver Twist' comes to mind). It makes a change, that's all.
This is adorable!!! I remember him from these movies...that was my first time seeing him. Now look at his skyrocketing success...couldn't have happened to a nicer or more talented guy!!! 🏆RAMI FOR THE OSCAR!!!🏆(I know Freddie Mercury is smiling down on him from ROCK 'N' ROLL HEAVEN!!)
I love how a queen song is played in the background. *goes back in time* “hey you know how night at the museum had rami malek in it? Well, haha, funny story-“
I remember loving the twist of the pharaoh being hot
🤣🤣🤣
yES!!
Omfg I was super young and I thought he was hot af
Ikr? I had a huge crush on him when I was little
Me too, he was my first celebrity crush way back in 2006, I was so shook
He’s actually Egyptian in real life! So that role was perfect for him! And it paved the path for him to win various awards for Bohemian Rhapsody, all the way up to the Oscar!

The guy is coptic too that makes it more legit
He said he hated being cast in roles which portrayed Middle Eastern as villains the other associated stereotypes. I’m happy for him that he found a role which honoured his Egyptian roots.
@Witch's Brew Views i remember playing than and i just remembered he was in that game after i watched the last season of Mr. Robot
oh wow! that is really awesome and cool
“Nothing it’s just for decoration.”
Parisa Reaz he sounds like Freddie when he says it
Also there’s the whole part where it summons bird demons from the underworld

“A decoration that brings everything in the museum to life” where can I get one of those?

hey there also 19, yeah, still have a crush.
I didn't have a crush on him when I was little, it's mostly mr robot that's why I have the crush
i recently started loving rami bc of until dawn 🥰 rn my fav characters of his r definitely snafu , ahkmenrah , elliot , n josh
Well...I'm almost 30 and yep 😅😅😅
Some kid: If you are Egyptian, then why do you sound British?
Larry: Oh my god, you can’t just ask people why they sound British

Chicken shit
I understand that reference.

Rami has such brilliant comedic timing, it's so surprising he doesn't do much comedy anymore.
Seriously the delivery of 'nothing it's just for decoration' and 'too dark??'
He’s the only who’s an actual body so literally the tablet doesn’t only bring life to wax figures but dead bodies too

It also made the old security guards feel young and strong again
Mr Critical exactly. I had forgotten about that lol
I wonder if he died at the age he’s presented as in the film, or if the tablet just rejuvenated him when he was at his strongest or fittest
DanielleandBerry Equine in everything I’ve read - canon or non canon- he was young - like nineteen or something when his brother killed him. So young baby was actually young :(
Rami is so gorgeous. He does a wonderful Brutish Accent. A great Actor.
♥️🤩
The way he talked at 2:38 sounds like how Freddie says it omg

Oh my gosh! And he plays Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@jasminnemcdonald94A REALLY?
jasminne mcdonald NO WAYYYYYY jk yeah everyone knows this lol that’s how he got more fame lol
so you say they made the song into a movie?

From Prince to Queen, our child has grown up so fast 😭❤️
And can't forget "Marine"
Won’t it be from King to Queen? Cuz Pharaohs are kings

Ugh yus
Yeah, it's the sweetest thing I've ever seen❤️❤️❤️
2:42 The way he says "Now seems like a good time" with the eyes and the head tilt is such a Johnny Depp thing particularly in Pirates of the Caribbean
absolutly yes

Samee lol
Well, I remember those days when I was a kid, swooning over Night at the Museum BECAUSE OF HIM!!!!!!!!
rica the panda I thought I was the only one😂😂
Yus girl yus
Me also - this was my first intro to Rami and I loved him - he was the reason I got hooked on that film
True, he stole the show. As a kid, i was dissapointed that he didn't get more screentime especially in the second movie.

Girl lets be honest here at this Point we all had a crush on our remi .i mean he was is god 🙏❤️ amen.
I like the way his speech sounds.. It's very unique...
I actually liked him in this, I remember thinking omg he’s hot
👍
When he said "It has been 4000 years, now seems like a good time", felt so funny and so much make sense at the same time.
I’ve been in love with him since then 🤩
Edit: he got more screen time in Night In The Museum than Joe Mazzello (John deacon) got in Bohrap ... lol
I assume we're talking across 3 entire movies though?
Daniel Cooper rami was only in the one film, no?
@@LizFoley-yh7iv No, he played Akh in all 3 iterations of Night At The Museum. His roles in the 1st two were quite small, but he was there in all 3, and he had a lot to do in the last one.

He deserves it
The Freddie speaking voice is strong in this one! :-P (And he's wearing dark brown contact lenses here - I still wonder why he didn't have brown lenses as Freddie?)
Apparently he’s allergic to contacts. That’s why they weren’t used in BR. Idk how he managed to use them here though...
It wasn’t because of him being allergic. They were worried that it wouldn’t be able to read his emotions when there would emotional scenes to which Feddie sometimes it didn’t express it out loud.
@@fairyluce20 His eyes are the window of his souls.
Because he wanted the real emotion to be caught in his eyes that can’t be done with coloured lenses
They could have added the brown eyes in after effects... guess they didn’t want to spend the time and money to do so🤦♀️
He is sooooooo cute and I am in love with his eyes! 💕😘
For some reason same
Great choice of music, Darling. In my opinion, this is the best by far.
Why thank you, darrling. I just knew this music would do the trick.

The War At Home
The Night At The Museum
Mr. Robot
And Bohemian Rhapsody
Thats just what i got feel free to add more
The Pacific
Bohemian Beatles Also he was in a video game called Until Dawn, you should check it out! It’s a great game, he plays a big role in it as well.

From this right to winning an Oscar. Well done, Rami!
I imagine how honored Malek was to interpret a cultural figure from his own country, Egypt, must had been amazing!
Rami was born and raised in California. His parents were from Egypt, though.

been a fan of his since this

I've always loved him. I really liked him in Until Dawn as well. He's a fantastic actor and on top of that... Look at him busting moves!!
What a precious bean

ill say it again rami was a legend before after bohemian hes more than a legend
I can't believe that was him, my memory must really suck.
