Rami Malek spotted with twin brother Sami in London
Rami Malek was spotted walking through a London park with his identical twin brother, Sami, on Wednesday morning, July 22. The Bohemian Rhapsody star looked casual in a white T-shirt and jeans while catching downtime — a low-key outing that lands as his action thriller The Amateur climbs Prime Video.
Key Takeaways
- Rami Malek and twin brother Sami were photographed on a park walk in London on July 22.
- Sami Malek works as a high school English teacher in Los Angeles and once trained with Teach for America.
- Malek's revenge thriller The Amateur is streaming on Prime Video and recently cracked the platform's top ten films.
- The brothers are identical twins who, Malek has said, began to diverge around age 18.
Fans tracking streaming and TV alerts already have Malek on their radar thanks to The Amateur. The London sighting adds a rare personal beat: the star out with the sibling who has largely stayed off the red carpet.
According to Just Jared, which published photos credited to Backgrid, Rami wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans. Sami was seen in a light blue button-down shirt and long white shorts as the pair walked through the park.
Who is Rami Malek's twin brother Sami?
Sami Malek is Rami's identical twin. He works as a high school English teacher in Los Angeles. He studied at UCLA and Loyola Marymount University before working with the nonprofit Teach for America.
The brothers also have an older sister, Yasmine. Speaking to Interview Magazine, Rami recalled growing up with a twin and moments of sibling friction that Yasmine has since worked to make up for.
Have Rami and Sami Malek always looked identical?
Not entirely, at least not forever. On The Graham Norton Show in 2018, Rami said they were born identical but started to diverge around age 18.
He has also shared a classic twin switch story on Jimmy Kimmel Live: after theater school, he performed a Greek tragedy monologue in Sami's college class so his brother could earn points toward his degree — then bolted once the credit was secured.
Why does the London outing matter for streaming fans?
The sighting arrives as Malek's first lead action role finds a second life on streaming. Based on Robert Littell's 1981 novel, The Amateur follows CIA cryptographer Charlie Heller after his wife Sarah is killed. Malek stars opposite Rachel Brosnahan, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Bernthal, and others.
MovieWeb reports the film broke into Prime Video's top ten films at seventh place after a modest theatrical run that grossed about $96 million worldwide against a $60 million budget. Us Weekly also flagged it among new Prime Video movies to watch in mid-July, calling Malek an unconventional revenge-thriller lead.
For audiences discovering Charlie Heller this week, the London photos are a reminder that Rami Malek's public profile still leaves room for quiet family time — and that his twin has built a very different life teaching English in L.A.
