Rami Malek, who played Freddie Mercury in the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, must have felt on cloud nine after receiving a Best Actor Oscar for the role on Sunday night - but the star soon came back down to earth with a bump after falling off the stage of the Dolby Theatre shortly after his win!

Rami, 37, went through a range of emotions after his accidental fall from grace, and was initially in shock from the fall while being helped back up to his feet by several of the people around him. The actor had just finished a touching speech where he had thanked his mother first and foremost, saying: "Oh my God, my mum is in here somewhere, oh I love you lady. 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, so this is a monumental moment."

The star placed the Academy Award on the stage while people jumped up to help him following his slip, and soon picked it up again when he was back safely on his feet.

He had previously given her a shout out in his speech, saying: "Lucy Boynton, you're the heart of this film. You are beyond immensely talented. You have capture my heart. Thank you so much."

However, Rami wasn't in need of any medical assistance following his tumble from the stage, and later appeared with his fellow Oscar winners without making any mention of the fall. He was also congratulated backstage by Gary Oldman, who won the Best Actor accolade in 2018.

Of course, he isn't the only Oscar winner to have taken a tumble on stage - as Jennifer Lawrence famously tripped on the stairs while accepting her Oscar back in 2012. Jennifer Garner also slid on the stage floor while presenting an award - so you're not alone Rami!
