Rami, who is know for his roles in the TV series Mr Robot and most recently the film based on Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, Bohemian Rhapsody, rarely speaks about his personal life but spoke candidly of his twin brother in an interview in 2015, Daily Mail reports.

During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rami revealed: “He’s an identical twin brother. We don't look as much alike as we used to but yeah, we’re identical.”

Giving context to just how identical they were, Rami recalled the one time he pretended to be Sami to help his brother get extra marks for a college assignment.
