Egyptian-Canadian actor Mena Massoud visits children's cancer hospital
Local media shared a series of photos capturing the Aladdin star interacting with young patients. During the visit, Massoud spoke with children, their families, and hospital staff. He expressed his deep appreciation for the experience, emphasizing that supporting sick children is a human duty before it is a media responsibility. Massoud's official statement reads: 'My visit to Hospital 57357 was one of the most moving moments of my life. These children are true heroes, and just being among them gives me a different kind of energy. I'm proud that such a medical institution exists in my home country, Egypt, and I'm happy that I was able to be a part of their day.' Mena Massoud Born to Egyptian parents and raised in Canada, Massoud began his acting career in Canadian cinema and television. He appeared in Nikita (2011–2013), playing a member of Al-Qaeda, and had roles in Combat Hospital (2011) as well as the Canadian-American series Open Heart (2015). In 2014, he starred in the Canadian short comedy Americanistan, portraying a character named Mohammed Ali. He went on to take leading roles in Canadian films, including the short drama Final Exam (2017) and the drama-mystery Ordinary Days (2017). He was also cast in Strange but True. Massoud broke into Hollywood with a starring role in Aladdin, opposite Will Smith and Naomi Scott. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film was shortlisted for Best Original Song at the 92nd Academy Awards, though it was not ultimately nominated. Aladdin performed well at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, winning several categories, and also received the Favorite Family Movie award at the 2019 People's Choice Awards. The film is an adaptation of the popular tale Alaa El-Din and the Magic Lamp, one of the stories from the 18th-century collection Alf Laila wi Laila (Arabian Nights). Following Aladdin, Massoud appeared in a short video with Will Smith titled Friend Like Me, as well as in the TV series Reprisal. His more recent work includes roles in films such as Wish You Were Here, The Sacrifice Game, and The Royal Treatment, as well as TV series like Evolving Vegan and History of the World: Part II, among others. He recently completed filming In Broad Daylight, his first project shot in Egypt, in which he plays a young Egyptian caught up in an international mafia. In Broad Daylight is written by Karim Sorour and directed by Marcos Adel. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

If the Apocalypse Hits, Which Character Will You Become?
You know the scene: the sky's red, the city's on fire, some radio in the background is crackling out news of total collapse, and yet, here comes a group of random strangers magically surviving together. You've seen the movies and the characters and you know the drill. Because no matter how often Hollywood ends the world, the same personalities rise from the ashes. It's like someone handed out apocalypse roles and said, 'Go be your most dramatic self.'So the real question is: when the world goes into full chaos mode, which one will you become? The Leader of the Group – Katniss Everdeen There's always one person delivering a motivational speech while everything is collapsing. That's this character. They're constantly rallying the group with emotional one-liners like 'We don't leave anyone behind!' even if no one asks. But here's the twist, they don't just talk. They're also the first to jump into danger, with no hesitation. They'll sprint toward the chaos with no hesitation. Half leader, half chaos machine, but somehow It works. The Suspiciously Calm Genius – Nick Fury They never raise their voice, never panic and never explain more than they have to. While everyone else is freaking out, they're two steps ahead sipping coffee, making cryptic comments, and casually saving the day. This character doesn't need to shout or show off. They just know things. Like how the bunker door is rigged, or that the aliens are coming on Tuesday. They've got plans A through Z and probably a plan after that, too. The Walking Meme Who Can't Die – Scott Lang (Ant Man) Somehow still cracking jokes while everything's burning. Their role? To keep morale up and accidentally save the day. They trip over their own feet, scream the loudest, and flirt mid-crisis but make no mistake: this character will survive. You'll find them finding laughter in the chaos and asking the most unhinged questions in the most serious moments but to be honest? We need this spirit during a crisis. The Overly Attached One Who Wants Their People Safe – Evelyn Abbott This is the heart of the group, the one dragging injured friends to safety, crying mid-sprint, and refusing to leave anyone behind even the guy who betrayed them two scenes ago. They will pause a whole evacuation to grab a photo album or make sure someone's pet makes it out alive. They're loyal to a fault, extremely tired, and probably they're the mom of the group. The Lovably Clueless One – Dustin They have no idea what's going on. Everyone's panicking about rations and survival strategy, and they're in the back asking if it's okay to charge their phone. They confuse 'radiation zone' with 'restricted Wi-Fi,' and yet they survive. Somehow, they always get lucky. They open the wrong door and discover a safe exit. They misread the map and accidentally lead the group away from danger. They're not useless just operating on a completely different wavelength. Whether you're giving heartfelt speeches mid-disaster, accidentally saving the day by being in the wrong place at the right time, or just crying over your group's emotional arc, there's a little end-of-the-world character in all of us. And just know: if the apocalypse ever actually happens, you've already seen the movie and know exactly what role you're playing.
