This Tuesday, Walt Disney released a full-length trailer for its remake of Aladdin, featuring Egyptian actor Mena Massoud and Will Smith.
Massoud was nominated for the role from over 2,000 actors and actresses that auditioned for the roles of Aladdin and Jasmine. Massoud was born in Cairo, Egypt to Egyptian Coptic Christian parents before immigrating to Canada when he was three-years-old.
Egyptians are making history everyday!
