‘Delete that pic,’ Rami asks Rachel
High school friendships don’t always stand the test of time.
Actress RACHEL BILSON learnt that the hard way when she shared an old photo of herself and former classmate RAMI MALEK (both 39).
“Rami was a good friend of mine,” Rachel recently told Dax Shepard on his podcast, Armchair Expert. “We were the same crew. We kind of kept in contact a little bit.”
When Rami’s star was soaring during the 2019 awards season thanks to his turn as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, she thought it would be fun to share a high school photo on Instagram.
Apparently, he later messaged the Nashville actress, asking her to take down the photo, and she obliged.
“I even wrote to him, a really nice message like, ‘I’m so sorry! Go get the Oscar! You’re doing amazing.’ And I never heard anything back,” she said.
“I was super bummed because we were good friends. I’m a big fan of not taking yourself seriously, especially at that level of fame and talent.”
