Good thing those Oscar statues aren't made out of glass, huh? Rami Malek seemed to be having a great time at the 91st Academy Awards when he took the stage to accept a Best Actor win for his performance in Bohemian Rhapsody. But after the show cut to commercial and Malek was making his way back to his seat, disaster struck. He fell! Off the stage! With the loudest THUD! The explicit details of the moment were thankfully not caught on film, but this video of Malek suddenly disappearing from view tells the whole story. Make sure you have your sound on. We can only wonder what it was that tripped him up. Photographers were on hand to catch the immediate aftermath, and Malek's subsequent chat with an entire squad of visibly concerned paramedics and security types.

Malek appears to have accidentally slipped while trying to exit the stage after the live broadcast had panned away from him. The “Bohemian Rhapsody” star had to set his Oscar down on the edge of the stage as audience members sitting in the front row came to his aid. Paramedics were quickly called to the scene, and treated Malek from a seat in the front row. He was later moved to a private area backstage, but did not appear to be visibly hurt when he arrived in the press room later to speak. Malek’s reps declined to comment. Comedian Chelsea Peretti posted a photo of the fall on Instagram, captioned “most important moment for me personally.” When another Instagram user asked what happened, she said, “There was a hole in the stairs w like a 20 foot drop to the orchestra and homeduder almost fell down but caught himself on his arms and was dangling.” After learning he had won the coveted prize for best actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Malek kissed his girlfriend and co-star, Lucy Boynton, who plays Mercury’s ex-fiancée Mary Austin in the film. His mother was the first person he thanked in his acceptance speech. “My mom is in here somewhere, I love you,” he said. “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. This is a monumental moment.” “I might not have been the obvious choice, but I guess it worked out,” he added. “Thank you Queen. Thank you guys for allowing me to be the tiniest part of your phenomenal, extraordinary legacy. I am forever in your debt.” He finished the speech by calling Boynton “the heart of this film.” Later in the press room, Malek took another moment to reflect on the win and to consider how far he’s come. “The one thing I can say about this, as an actor, there are so many of us who dream of one thing. Perhaps it’s not this, it’s just getting a job. The fact that I have this is beyond any expectation that myself or my family could have ever had. I’ll just say that,” he told reporters. “This has been a tough battle and the fact that I’m here is proof that anything is possible. Tonight I’m celebrating with all of you and anyone who has had a dream.”<doc-sep>Rami Malek kissed Lucy Boynton following his Oscar win and Twitter is overjoyed. On Sunday 24 February, the Academy announced that Malek had won the Best Actor gong for his portrayal of singer Freddie Mercury in the 2018 hit film Bohemian Rhapsody. On hearing his name called out, the 37-year-old stood up in astonishment and immediately turned to his girlfriend and co-star Lucy Boynton for a kiss. At the end of the star's speech on stage, Malek paid tribute to his significant other. “Lucy Boynton, you’re the heart of this film, you’re beyond immensely talented. You have captured my heart,” he said, bringing the US-born actor close to tears in the audience.

Just moments after nabbing a best actor Oscar for his performance in “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Rami Malek bit the dust. The newly minted Oscar winner took a tumble by the stage after he gave his acceptance speech and was attended to by medical staffers, according to reports. Cameras caught Rami Malek after his slip following his best actor win at the Oscars on Sunday. Getty Images The moment happened as the show went to a commercial break, but photographs captured Malek just below the Oscar stage, looking a bit stunned as people around him helped him to his feet. Malek reportedly fell following his acceptance speech and was visited by on-site medics. Getty Images While some reports said the 37-year-old fell off the stage, house medics told The Los Angeles Times that Malek simply slipped. "Domo arigato!" Getty Images Medical staff attended to the "Mr. Robot" actor after he took his seat in the front row. He later walked back up on stage without help and exited into the wings. Malek did not show any effects from the fall when he spoke to press later. Malek (seated) wasn't seriously hurt and looked OK in press appearances later, according to reports. Getty Images Malek won an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in the Queen biopic. He described the win as a “monumental moment,” thanking band members and movie producers for casting him and their support. "I may not have been the obvious choice, but I guess it worked out," he said in his speech. "Thank you, Queen, thank you, guys, for allowing me to be the tiniest part of your phenomenal, extraordinary legacy. I am forever in your debt." To watch more from TODAY download our mobile app
