This may provide you with some distraction, and you’ll learn things that you didn’t know about the show. Win-win.
So take a look at 10 things you probably didn’t know about Mr. Robot.
15 Years in the Waiting
Before Mr. Robot got the green light, creator Sam Esmail had an idea for making a movie about hackers for 15 years.
Immediate Hit
Even before season one of the show premiered, USA Network ordered season two.
Black Hoodie
The black hoodie Rami Malek’s character Elliot wears all the time actually belongs to the actor himself. Since it is a crucial piece, the hoodie is rarely washed and is being taken care of with particular attention.
Recommendations
Malek got the role in Mr. Robot thanks to Shameless star Emmy Rossum. She saw him in another show and recommended him to her future husband, show creator Sam Esmail.
Vitamin B Pills
Elliot is seen sniffing morphine in some episodes in order to deal with his anxiety. But according to Malek, he is actually sniffing vitamin B pills.
Train Cameo
Sam Esmail makes a cameo appearance in the pilot. He is the man standing on the train when Elliot meets Mr. Robot for the first time.
Practice Makes Perfect
Despite him nailing the role of a hacker, Rami Malek himself isn’t particularly skilled when it comes to technology. This is why he attended hacking seminars and took typing lessons to prepare for the role.
