Mena Massoud

You will best remember Mena Massoud as the lead star of the live-action adaptation of the Disney fantasy film Aladdin. To some degree, it was a huge role to play for the 29-year-old star at the time. As he managed to enter Hollywood through this film, he thought he had already made it. However, after the film’s release, Massoud found it hard to get a prominent role again. Sure, Aladdin made it big at the box office with over $1 billion of earnings.

But by the looks of it, it was not an assurance that Massoud would make it big in Hollywood. In an interview, the Egyptian-Canadian actor revealed he hasn’t had a single audition after Aladdin‘s release. Anyhow, it didn’t stop him from continuing his dream to be an actor. He now has a recurring role in the Hulu drama series Reprisal.
