Title: Mena Massoud: After ‘Aladdin’ Made $1 Billion, I Still Couldn’t Get an Audition
Post by: Lazarus on December 04, 2019, 08:30:12 AM

"I'm kind of tired of staying quiet about it. I want people to know that it's not always dandelions and roses when you're doing something like Aladdin.

[People think] 'He must have made millions. He must be getting all these offers.' It's none of those things. I haven't had a single audition since Aladdin came out.

The big truth is I haven't really seen a big anything from [Aladdin]."

Quote
"There's always a wild card or two when you're casting. I'm usually the wild card. In a room of Caucasian guys, a director might be like, OK, let's see, like, two guys who aren't. And maybe they'll be the wild card choice."

That's always the risk with doing these huge movies
They attract small time actors looking for a big break only for them to get shafted and underpaid

king start you an onlyfans page and get some coin

he was good in Aladdin, he has to figure out how to make that work for him some more.

that's why I wouldn't do a huge remake, if you don't just blow ppl away you're name won't get out. He's basically Aladdin now

..... maybe hit up Marvel

Yeah he gonna have to put in work.

Lupita got a whole ass Oscar for 12 years a slave, but was regulated to voice roles and unknown indie movies until Black Panther threw her a bone because she's one of the only African Black actresses in Hollywood with a little clout.

He better go find some more Ethnic middle easterners and try to give a crazy rich arabs or something.

now that I think about Lupita is only big now because she's black. Her three biggest messes 12 years, Black Panther & Us were given to her by black other blacks.
