Mena Massoud, the Egyptian-Canadian actor who played Aladdin in the recent Disney live-action remake, has said he hasn’t had a single audition since its release.
However, Massoud has been given a major role in the Hulu TV series, Reprisal, which he secured before Aladdin was released.
I want people to know that it’s not always dandelions and roses when you’re doing something like Aladdin.
I haven’t had a single audition since Aladdin came out.”
