Sahhar Hafiz it’s prolly cuz of his ethnicity, Hollywood doesn’t cast those who aren’t white tbh. Especially since he is Egyptian, even black people get casted more than them, Egyptians rarely get casted sadly:(
Emanuel M I wish we’d open our eyes and realise its not always a race issue, I can’t tell the many actors that fade off after a big film or show and they can be any colour, it’s who’s got it or not. And that’s the way Hollywood works
I don’t think it’s his ethnicity though. Loads of white actors have had problems finding work after- because sometimes they are stuck in that role/character that it’s hard to shake off.
@anthonyu2 Mena was good in the movie. Racism in Hollywood explains his lack of audition. Don't diminish people of colour's bad experiences with Hollywood. Period.
I want this guy to be my future husband. I hope he finds someone who truly loves him. Very respectful man. His smile makes my days. The guy becomes my biggest crush.
Yea I'm also obsessed first I was falling in love with him but then I saw that he is in love and dude like It's sad his case dude like he likes her and like dude like broo why can he be also happy with that girl, yea so then I jusy got obsessed and I didn't fell in love since he loves that girls I wish they were together but is not like possible at this sircustances well it seens she is cinfused and she is like trying to not fell in love but she loves him also
Ozex Oz ehhem wdymmmm loving him won’t harm anyone and doesn’t make us cheap if anything it makes your heart rich with his priceless smile Sorry that was cheesy
It's sad where he said he didn't get an audition or offer since doing billion dollar aladdin bc any other actor would have booked something, reminds of the tweet about the actors in moon light and timothee chalamet all good actors except the white one obviously has snapped up by execs and directors and the ethnic ones are left behind
he deserve more recognition, i think he carried the movie Aladdin with his performance, hes underrated, i watched some press conferences and everyone gave props to Will smith and Naomi more than him
@anthonyu2 Will Smith carried the movie because he's famous, his performance as the genie was good ngl, Mena played Aladdin witch is the main character and didn't have that many lines to showcase his ability thats why alot of people thought he was flat sometimes, i thought he was very good wasn't overacting and overwhelming like Naomi i thought she overacted a little and her song was too mutch, but i see coz Hollywood always pushes this narratives of if you show so mutch feelings and emotions you're a good actor, sometimes i feel that could make the scenes cringe and overwhelming, Mena did a great job and fit the role so well
@@doniamer2009 He didn't have a lot of room to breathe and exist in this movie. Just like Aladdin in the animated version. Everyone talks about Jasmine or The Genie (Robin Williams) but I don't see tons of people being like "omg Aladdin my favorite Disney character ever!" a lot of people who say they love Aladdin it's because of Robin Williams' voiceover or because of Jasmine's character. Even Jafar was always more memorable than Aladdin. It's the same here. Mena on Reprisal is awesome tho, so much more grit and depths to his acting than a Disney movie.
Yes he deserves alot of roles but he kinda needs to watch out saying stuff like that all the time because that's a big turn off to directors or producers idk how that works but yea I think they will look at it like he's being a cry baby about it. I've seen him say stuff like this in three other interviews, he needs to chill hahaha they probably wont doing that, u know? He's good looking, has a great personality...he can act. He will get roles eventually 🙂. I think they are holding off because they want him for a part 2 in Aladdin, watch ha. Idk I may be wrong tho about part 2. We'll have to see 😁👍🏼.
he is...ive noticed robotic responses are centered around being nervous or trying to act in a way that you are told to be. he might have looked humorous and light hearted but i think inside he is really really scared.
He’s so super handsome. He’s very sweet, humble, talent, kindness, bless, cute & adventurous. I love his angelic voice & his bright smile. He’s plays Aladdin so well and I love Aladdin movie so much. I love his curly and straighten hair so much. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍✌🏼🙏🏼🕊🦋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man it sucks that he’s not getting auditions like I swear if you’re not ethically ambiguous or like white passing you probably won’t get as many auditions as someone who is.
Love watching Mena; a very talented actor; perfectly cast in Aladdin. Looking forward to Reprisal … Hope producers/directors in Canada & Hollywood wake up soon, & offer him well deserved auditions providing him the same opportunities they offer their own, less talented people. Best wishes & May God Bless Mena! ♥
Victoria Maikrish His infectious smile and cute dimples, wonderful sense of humour, on top of his eye catching handsome looks and down to earth personality, not to mention his talent, Hollywood is crazy not to want him! He's a keeper!!
James Waynes.. Shut up please.. he is straight and we ladies love him.. Leave something to us.. Women.. You want to force everyone to become gay? why can't you praise him without talking about your sexuality?
You people in the comments 🤦 you guys see someone on tv and just start thinking they are this great person. Remember you don't know them. And they are on camera so they'll always show their good side to the world.
I don't know if you ever heard of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It would be cool to see Naomi Scott in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as April O'Neil, April is a fighter in the comics. I really love Naomi Scott and I have a HUGE Crush on her. Mena is stunning as Aladdin based on the looks and acting
