"Bohemian Rhapsody" star Rami Malek, left, used to switch places with his identical twin, Sami Malek.
While appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in 2015, the "Mr. Robot" star said that he and his identical twin (who was backstage at the talk show) "don't look as much alike as we used to."
"We were troublemakers as kids, we did some bad stuff," Malek said, explaining that they used their appearances to their advantage in some situations.
The Oscar-winning actor said that he pretended to be Sami to help him get the points needed to pass a Greek studies class and earn his degree at UCLA. Rami, who was in acting school at the time, took Sami's place and delivered a Greek tragedy monologue that impressed the professor, which led Sami to pass the class and graduate.
Rami shared the same story during an appearance on "The Graham Norton Show" in 2018, adding that their appearances started to look less similar around the age of 18.
Sami also sounds exactly like his brother, based on an Access Hollywood interview backstage at the 2019 Oscars.

Ashton previously opened up about his brother during a 2017 acceptance speech, saying that Michael taught him that "loving people isn't a choice and that people aren't actually all created equal."
"When I got older, I spent years and years feeling bad about it, our inequalities," the "That 70's Show" actor continued. "He also taught me that he had gifts that I didn't have. Extraordinary gifts that I didn't have, and that every time I felt sorry for him in life, I made him less. He taught me that and he gave that to me."
Actor Jon Heder, left, is best known for "Napoleon Dynamite." His identical twin Dan works in visual effects.
Dan has done visual effects for films like "Alita: Battle Angel," "Avengers: Endgame," and "Spider-Man: Far From Home."
