When did Rachel Bilson and Rami Malek date?

Rachel and Rami know each other from school and were "good friends", although it's not known if they actually dated.`

Speaking on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast on Monday, Rachel spoke about her Academy Award-winning friend Rami.

They both attended the Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California.

When asked about what the Bohemian Rhapsody star was like in high school, Rachel revealed the pair were actually “good friends” and were in the “same crew”.

She added that they even starred as the leads together in The Crucible in their senior year.

She said that they kept in touch for a while but did not stay as close as they used to be in school.

Why has Rachel Bilson removed the Rami Malek photo from Instagram?

The Hart Of Dixie actress also revealed that Rami asked her to take down a "dorky teen " photo she had posted of them and said he takes himself so seriously.

She said: “So, obviously, he gets super famous. And he’s always been extremely talented. A really amazing actor, even in high school.

“I had posted a throwback of us from own senior trip to New York, Broadway. We’re super nerdy. 

“It was the dorkiest picture of both of us, but I throw it up because I think it’s funny and important to be able to make fun of yourself. 

“And he had a gold chain, and I’m like, ‘Rami, where did you get the gold chain?’ But, whatever.”

Rachel said she thought she was being "funny" but apparently Rami did not feel the same and a week later he messaged her asking her to take the picture down.

She said she was surprised to see that it wasn't a catch-up or friendly message but was rather straight to the point.

Rachel revealed: “It was straight to, ‘I would really appreciate if you would take that down. I’m a really private person’. 

“And I was like, ‘Oh, s**t. OK.’ Like, I get really hot and I’m sweating and all nervous, like, ‘Oh God, what did I do?’”

She added: “Because he was a good friend of mine and it’s a funny picture. I don’t take myself that seriously.

“I guess he didn’t like the picture of himself.”

The photo was shared in January 2019, a few weeks before the Oscars, where Rami was up for Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody.
