It was a big win for Rami Malek when he bagged the Best Actor trophy for Bohemian Rhapsody at Oscars 2019. The actor was elated with his big win and he was among the lead contenders who could take home the trophy. And while Twitterati is still busy singing his praises, appreciating him for this honour, Rami believes, the best compliment he has received so far is from the Avengers: Endgame actor, Robert Downey Jr. Though the actors' friendship goes back a long way, yet the sweet words by Downey Jr cannot be even.

Iron Man aka Robert Downey Jr took to his Instagram account to share a video appreciating Malek for his big win. “I say, unequivocally, Rami Malek is the front of the bloodline of his acting generation, I think he has witnessed it here tonight and from an endomorphic loner Mr Robert to the complete showman that he displayed, I am just telling you and you already know it, you are good," he said in his appreciation. And Rami was quick to tag his sweet words as probably the greatest compliment he had in his life.

Rami was overwhelmed with his big win and the emotion is only natural. As soon as his name was announced as the winner in the Best Actor Category, he kissed his girlfriend and went to the stage. His short speech was dedicated entirely to his family. "Oh my God,’ started Malek as he said, “My mom is in here somewhere — I love you, lady! My family, thank you for all of this. My dad didn't get to see me do any of this, but I think he's looking down on me right now so this is a monumental moment," he said. Rami's Bohemian Rhapsody took the most numbers of honours last night and this is just the beginning for him.
