Does Rami Malek have a twin? 'No Time to Die' star's SNL monologue explored

Rami Malek was the host of Saturday Night Live on October 16 alongside musical guest Young Thug. For his opening monolog, Malek talked about the dramatic roles he has played and said that SNL is a big change for him.

Malek mentioned that a lot of people have told him about his resting villain face, which led him to be cast as a villain in No Time to Die. He elaborated that he has mostly sympathized with movie villains like Scar in The Lion King and Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.

Malek named some of his favorite classic villains like Jaws, Dracula, and Frankenstein’s monster. The audience burst out laughing when he said that Freddie Krueger encouraged the kids to dream.

The Bohemian Rhapsody star then spoke about his childhood and said that he has a twin brother. He said he replaced his brother in one of the night’s sketches. Before ending the monolog, Rami Malek said that he is proud of his brother, teacher, sister, and doctor for dedicating their lives to helping others.
