The two reportedly met on set for the film, in which Boynton played Freddie Mercury's (played by Malek) love interest and lifelong friend Mary Austin . But so far, they've been pretty shy about public displays of affection — cute SAGs shoutout aside. And in a year where everyone seems to be bringing family members as dates, many expected the actor to show up with identical twin brother Sami Malek . (The two have a history of pulling pranks together, though — could they have switched identities for the night?)
