#RamiMalek is the first Egyptian performer to win the Oscar for best actor “one of the greatest achievements.” “One of the greatest achievements in receiving that award is the hope it’s imbued in so many people all over the world, especially where my family is from in Egypt,” Malek said at #Cannes during a Kering #WomenInMotion Talk. “All over the world I think people can relate to what it feels like to be an immigrant... that comes with some weight. To be able to connect to that accomplishment in some way and hopefully inspire anyone fills me with some sense of pride that is greater even than doing the work itself.”
