Apparently Rami Malek asked Rachel Bilson to delete a throwback photo

Actors Rami Malek and Rachel Bilson go way back, but it seems like some people prefer not to reminisce on the past as much as others.

‘The O.C.’ star was a recent guest on Dax Shepard’s podcast, ‘Armchair Expert’. Bilson shared that she and Malek actually went to high school together. “We did ‘The Crucible’ together senior year… he’s always been super talented. A really amazing actor.”

So when she came across a throwback photo of the two of them, Bilson thought it would be fun to share the memory on social media.

But apparently the ‘Mr. Robot’ actor didn’t exactly take a liking to the photo. Rami Malek messaged Rachel Bilson on Instagram to request for her to take down the photo.

She said that it was something along the lines of, “I would really appreciate if you would take that down, I’m a really private person.”

Bilson concluded her anecdote on ‘Armchair Expert’ saying that although she believes that celebrities shouldn’t take themselves too seriously, “he wants to be super-respected, it’s his thing, so I respected it.”
