Hollywood actor Masud, who gained worldwide fame for his role as Aladdin in the film Aladdin, is celebrating his birthday today, September 17. He spent his childhood in Cairo, Egypt, before moving to Canada with his family as immigrants.
From a young age, Masud was passionate about theater. Even after studying theater in Canada, he believed that breaking into mainstream Hollywood would not be easy. However, by taking on diverse roles, he gradually established himself as an actor.
In 2019, Masud got his big break with the film Aladdin, where he had the opportunity to act alongside his favorite actor, Will Smith. The movie earned billions at the box office and solidified Masud’s fame in Hollywood.
Masud is not limited to acting; he has also been active in advocating for animal rights. He is currently busy working on three films, including Daniel and The American Spring.
