Julia Roberts Renders Rami Malek “Mute”
USA Today has a very cute story about Rami Malek (Benjamin from the Egyptian coven in Breaking Dawn) and his adoration for actress Julia Roberts. Rami and Julia can be seen together in the upcoming Larry Crowne, and in it Rami plays one of Julia’s students. It turns out that the two had a lot in common with Julia asking numerous questions of Rami about what it was like to be a twin, as Julia has twins of her own and Rami is one himself. Read more below:
Rami Malek, best known for his role in the HBO miniseries The Pacific, plays one of Julia Roberts’ students in Larry Crowne, opening July 1. And, says the actor, “I was just enamored by her. I’d be sitting in class and she’d sit on my desk and ask me questions. I was rendered mute by her. She’s a magnetic lady.”
What kinds of things would Roberts ask? “She has twins and I’m a twin and she was constantly asking me questions. She was very intrigued by the psychology of what happens as twins evolve and grow. She was genuinely just interested in my brother, the differences between us, how close we were. Every morning I would see her and she’d ask me how my brother Sami was doing. She always remembered his name. That’s something I respect about her,” says Malek.
