I love the Egyptians. They’re funny and really lovely to talk to. My Iraqi mother told me that Egypt was once the Hollywood of the Middle East because that’s where all the great films came out and actor and actresses went to find opportunities.
I hope so too but I kind of hope he doesn't he's so grounded and seem kind I don't want him to loose that either I want him to get roles but I don't want him to give into hollyweird either but I still wish him the best.
At least his dad agreed on a bird. Most egyptian dads would be like why get a dog when im already raising one. Or even better, Matraby nafsek el awel 😂 my moms favourite
@@user-wu6ss5tl3e Doesn't matter, the middle east is divided within Western Asia, and Northern Africa. Anyone who says Egypt is not part of the middle east is just uneducated on the matter.
Mena is such a funny and intelligent man. Wanna see him doing more interviews like this. The way he mimic his father or do egyptian accent, he's such a talented guy.
I'm Arab but not Egyptian People who are not familiar with Egyptians you gotta know that they are the most genuinely funny and intelligent people out there!! I grew up watching Egyptian movies and now my TH-cam is filled with videos of Egyptian TH-camrs hehe I wish to visit Egypt one day

I'm Egyptian and I swear to God he imitates the Egyptians with the accent and his father is a true Egyptian lol. Egyptians are the funniest people I've met people from many countries they were funny but not as Egyptians for sure. If you met anyone who smiles to you in the streets like he or she knew you for sure they are Egyptians lol
OMG, He is very talented he's imitated the accient of Egyptians when they talk English very well..... I am Egyptian n that's our accient 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️ لو مصري اخبط الايك بامانة قلد اللهجه حلو اوي😂😂💓
@Aurangzeb Ali l know what lam talking about when he immigrated he was just 3 years old so he didn't listen to Arabic a lot to get our pronunciation in speaking n when he talks Arabic now he speaks it like a foreign person because it's related to what u listened a lot he can't get our Arabic letters Pronunciations... They are totally different to his American English
@Aurangzeb Ali Yeah.. I totally agree with u of course it's familiar but unfortunately most of people who travel n live abroad speak even Arabic in English accent that's what l saw from Arabs but I don't know about Indians... Actually I spoke a lot to Asian people Indian Bangali n Pakistani.. U all have the upper jaw pronunciation letters so ur accent is so different, unique n so easy to be recognized
Egyptians are killing it lately. The creator of Mr. Robot is Egyptian too (Sam Esmail) and he cast Rami Malek (also Egyptian) in it. And my favorite new show in 2019 called Ramy (created by Egyptian Ramy Youssef) is hilarious
Joaquin Sorrentino I’m not saying he’s wrong. He’s still getting work that’s what matters. He’s in a show now I assume. An actor in Hollywood can’t expect to jump of from a million dollar film to another million dollar film. Only few actors have that fortune. He will need to do a lot of strange things to get a lot of roles that are not race driven
Same. I kept telling my parents I would get a cat in college. They kept begging me not to. Guess who loves the cat now? Lol. Now they keep asking me to bring the cat to their house 😂😂😂
Kathrin Bizzarro Same with my Filipino parents. They find it wrong that pets here live in so much luxury while the folks they know back home can’t even eat a proper meal a day. They think any money spent on taking care of pets should just be spent helping a family relative back home to go to school. People from third world like us are just so practical that way.
I live in Egypt and the way he speak and the way he has his hair cut and everything else could say that he is 100% Egyptian..go and see his episode with *ma3akom Mona elshazly* and you and everyone will understand
as a middle eastern, the pet part is the most relatable thing ever lmao!!! I've always wanted a cat but ended up with a bird and as a half egyptian, the accent is spot on when he was imitating his dad lol
