10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Mr. Robot
10. The Hoodie
We'll start this off with a small, but still interesting little bit of trivia.
If there is one thing in Mr. Robot as iconic as its palpable sense of 90s era angst, it's the black hoodie protagonist Elliot Alderson wears seemingly every second of every day. It's a trademark of the series, one that both perfectly captures Elliot personality and, at the same time, adds to it.
Now, you may be asking what could be so interesting about a simple piece of clothing. Well, the answer may surprise you. The hoodie actually belongs to actor Rami Malek who plays Elliot, and who wore the same hoodie since the beginning of the series, refusing to replace it.
According to a people within the show's costume department, he wore the hoodie so much that it even started falling apart, making it to where they had to have several replacements on standby.
The actor felt as though wearing the same thing every episode matched with how Elliot would actually act, as he could not imagine the character ever going clothes shopping.
Now that's dedication to the bit.
