The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Mena Massoud
- Actions speak louder than words, and the best way to set an example is to just go out and do a good job.
- It’s a funny thing that’s happening online. The Middle Easterners want ‘Aladdin’ to be a Middle Eastern story, and the Indians want ‘Aladdin’ to be an Indian story. The truth is, it’s really a folk tale from the 1800s, and Agrabah is a fictional place that’s a culmination of India and Asia and the Middle East.
- I want people to know that it’s not always dandelions and roses when you’re doing something like ‘Aladdin.’
- There’s always a wild card or two when you’re casting. I’m usually the wild card. In a room of Caucasian guys, a director might be like, ‘OK, let’s see, like, two guys who aren’t. And maybe they’ll be the wild card choice.’
- Guy Ritchie likes to ground things in realism.
- I think since ‘Aladdin’ my expectations for things releasing and what they’re going to do in my career, I’ve had to really pull them back.
- My parents knew about the story of Aladdin far before the animation film. It’s a folk tale that is very prevalent in Egypt.
- I have two older sisters.
- My first professional gig was on a show called ‘Nikita,’ and I played Al Qaeda No. 2. At that time I had to take those roles because I just wanted to get my foot in the door.
- I grew up speaking Arabic at home.
