Actor Rami Malek is reActor Rami Malek is re spectful of the  whole ongoing diversity movement in Hollywood, and says he can understand the struggle to seek an identity in a world he “didn’t necessarily fit in”.‘I’m a first-generation American. I can understand what it feels like to be different… feel like a fish out of water and struggle to identify who I am in a place where I feel like I didn’t necessarily fit in,’ Malek told IANS.And that is the reason he was attracted towards Bohemian Rhapsody, which was released in India by Fox Star Studios. Bohemian Rhapsody, a biopic on late singer Freddie Mercury and the band Queen, explores the rise of the band with a focus on Mercury’s personal life, his sexuality and the way he dealt with his fame. It released in India last month.‘I don’t want to do those type of movies all the time, but when it presents itself, it’s a nice challenge to test one’s self, like that, and tell that story. That story exists. I gravitate to history, and an opportunity like this is hard to pass up,” he said while explaining his decision to play the role of Mercury in the biopic.Talking about the film, he said: “You get an opportunity to do this job, as an actor, and you never know if it’s going to work or not, so sometimes it’s worth taking the biggest risks and just embracing it. That’s the only way to do it. (IANS)
