Rami Malek, who won the best actor Oscar last Sunday for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, is a fan of chamomile tea. He also likes handwritten letters, classic movies, and his mom.

The video has started to make the rounds on social media, and if you watch it, it’s easy to see why.
