'Bohemian Rhapsody' co-stars Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton's passionate Oscars kiss goes viral
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As soon as Rami Malek's name was called for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Oscars Sunday, the "Bohemian Rhapsody" lead turned to his girlfriend and costar Lucy Boynton and gave her a passionate smooch.
"Whoa," Malek mouthed as he was announced the Oscar winner.
He then planted a long kiss — well, three to be exact — on Boynton before he made his way to the stage. The public display of affection once again solidified they are, in fact, quite a power couple.
