Mena Massoud Who Doesn't Get A Job After Aladdin

JAKARTA - The film Aladdin, which was released in the first half of this year, became one of the box office films with a total profit of more than one trillion US dollars. This is the first Aladdin live action film to receive positive appreciation from animation fans and film lovers. However, it turns out that the success of a film does not necessarily affect the actor's career, at least that is how Mena Massoud feels.

As the main character, Massoud obviously received a lot of screen time for his appearances in Aladdin. The film also immediately earned him a huge following. Obviously, Aladdin who was described as everyone's ideal man had indirectly changed Massoud's image.

However, through an interview in the context of promoting his latest series, Reprisal, reported by The Daily Beast, Massoud revealed he did not accept acting offers after his success in the film Aladdin. While filming Aladdin, he managed to beat 2000 auditioners for his role. An astonishing figure, especially since the income he received through the film was predicted to be large.

“I want people to know that it's not always a rose when you do something like Aladdin. 'He must have earned billions. He will get all the offers. ' These are not things like that. I haven't auditioned since Aladdin was released, ”said Massaud.

A surprising answer, considering that he is talked about quite a lot on social media. Moreover, Aladdin became the most successful popular live action film remake of all time. Plus Will Smith co-star, there should be nothing less than Mena Massoud's success.

"It's not what you think." he replied. Massoud thought people had the idea that after Aladdin hit the box office, Massoud could easily audition for the newest role, but it didn't. Nor does this suggest that Massoud is feeling ungrateful for the role but he just wants to emphasize that things don't go smoothly right away, even as he is gaining popularity for his career.

Meanwhile, Mena Massoud's latest project, Reprisal, will be broadcast via the Hulu streaming application starting December 6.
