Oscars 2019 – Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody)

Rami Malek won the Oscar yesterday for the best actor, well deserved, I would say. I’m a big Queen fan, and when I heard a few years ago that they are planning to make a movie about Freddie Mercury, I was a bit skeptical.

Freddie Mercury is such a unique personality, energetic, flamboyant, excessive, totally over the top, at least while he is on stage. In private, he was actually quite shy. I honestly thought there was no single person on Earth with such charisma, energy, and physical similarities who could pull this role off.

Rami Malek was the second choice, after Sascha Baron Cohen dropped out of the project, primarily due to his controversial image, so the remaining Queen band members didn’t want to risk the high-budget movie with him.

Rami was born under the Yang Metal Master Element (Freddie was a Yang Water; here is his case study). Freddie’s key BaZi Chart features were his Pioneer Talent and Yang Fire Element. These two gave him the energy and sexual drive, which he is loaded with.

INTENSE YANG METAL

Rami has also a solid Pioneer and strong Yang Fire. His Chart setup is different, but Rami does possess an intense, slightly obsessive personality, which we also saw in his Mr. Robot TV series. Rami is physically a bit weaker than Freddie and doesn’t have as strong a sexual drive, but he made up for it with his acting skills and hard work, so in the end, it turned out quite well.

Rami also has Warrior and Competitor Talents, which add to his intense personality and acting style. One of the key Talents, though, is the Performer, which acts as a Supertalent. This Talent is presented by Yin Water, the key Element in his Chart, which regulates intense Fire, acts as the output for Metal, and supports Wood.

He is currently in an Ox period, which utilizes perfectly his Snake and Rooster branches. Thanks to the Ox period, this is one superb Chart at its peak, so it’s no surprise that he recently won many awards for his acting. He can expect another 15 years of smooth sailing in show business; his skills will remain fully functional during this period.
