Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek is currently on top of the world! After his Golden Globes win and his recent Oscar nod for playing the iconic role of Freddie Mercury, the actor has added yet another trophy under his belt!
Rami just bagged the Outstanding Performance by an Actor at the 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards and it doesn't come as a surprise anymore considering how brilliant his performance was in the Queen biopic film.

The Mr. Robot actor said in his speech: “This just seems extraordinary to me when I look at those actors I’m nominated with, truly." Adding, "I never in my wildest dreams thought I could be in a category with these men and I’m so proud to be one of your peers… It’s a honor I’m taken aback by.”
He also extended his gratitude to Queen and Freddie himself. "I get some power from him that is about stepping up and living your best life, being exactly who you want to be and accomplishing everything you so desire. And I feel that, and he allows us all to feel that, and this is, again, for him."
