The first to notice was Rami, maybe because they're friends for several years. But Malek took few times to notice, that because the subtlety of Joe's actions wasn't noticed at first. But, after three or four times, his friend started to realize a linearity when Joe was with Ben Hardy.
Rami knew that Joe Mazzello always get along with almost everyone, because he's pretty funny and communicative, what made the chemistry between the four leader actors of the film that would become a sucessful biobiography was almost immediate. And Joe got pretty comfortable with Ben, faster that he did with Gwilym Lee.
Joe's oldest friend saw that, when Joe was around Ben, he did something: after several Ben's jokes, he raised his eyebrows and passes his tougue between his lips, getting them wet. It'd pass unnoticed to people who are starting to know Joe now, but Rami know him enough to know a few things more about him.
Joe walked to the snack table to grab a sandwich when Rami got closer to him, and after see no one was getting attention on them, he said:
"Are you interessed in him, aren't you?"
"I'm begging you pardon?" Joe thought he lost some part of the conversation.
"You're interessed in Ben. You did that thing that you do when you're interessed in someone." Rami made moviments with his finger, pointing to Joe's face.
When Joe realized what Rami was talking about, his reaction was a loud and hard laugh. If anyone wasn't paying them attention now it was, because Joe never laughed that way.
Ben, who was talking with the makeup girl, looked to the two actors, wondering what it'd done Joe laugh that loud.
Rami lift up his head, confused with Joe's reaction, and waited he stop laugh to continue their conversation.
"You're really, really funny, Rami." Joe cried from laughing. "I'm not even attracted to men."
"But I know what I saw." Rami still with the same calm tone. "We know each other for a long time, and I already saw you when you're interessed. Don't get offended, Ben is a attractive guy."
"I'll pretend you didn't say this." Joe grabbed his sandwich and went back to the sofa, to watch a Gwilym's scene.
Rami thought it'd be better accept his friend's denial and he shaked his shoulders, resigning to wait the next events. Joe wasn't dumb enough to not cognize, and Rami knew he wasn't wrong, after all.
He decided to stop getting into Joe's business and started to think how he can know Lucy Boynton better, and how he could get her on a date.
Joe had stopped laugh of Rami's accusation few days ago (and he even had courage to tell about it with no one) when someone else came to bothering him: this time was Gwilym.
They were waiting to film a scene when Gwilym remembered the day Ben and Joe were dancing in the middle of the studio and Joe laid a little bit his own body, Ben holding his back, and Ben said he couldn't stand himself that way, with one leg. Joe, in the heat of the moment, accepted the bet, and haized his left leg. Gwilym was passing by and wanted to enjoy the party, and said to they two to hold an apple with their mouths.
The actor remembered that, in that moment, three feelings passed through his body: the hilarity of the joke, that he thought he couldn't hold himself more than 30 seconds in that position; the fear of the fall, because his right leg balanced very badly his body and Ben wasn't hold him tight, and they two could drop in any minute; e a little embarassment to realize that Ben's face was too close of his.
And, of course, he didn't mention it to Gwilym.
"What Ben said after they took the photo?"asked Gwilym, laughing.
