Warm weather and heat-related illness: Why it's important to stay hydrated
You'd think there'd be some serious concerns when taking on the role of Aladdin in Disney's new live-action film. But Mena Massoud's got this. He's excited about playing the part he's watched so many times since he was just a kid.
He added:"I think more than the pressure, I was excited to finally have an opportunity to play a character that wasn't a terrorist and didn't have a negative connotation on them. This has a very positive connotation. It's an inspiring film, an inspiring role. And I was just excited to finally have a shot at something like that."
"That's a big part of why I'm proud of this film," Massoud said in an appearance on"Popcorn with Peter Travers.""Disney did a great job of making it a very international cast. We have actors from the Netherlands and Tunisia, and Naomi's from England. But her mother's Indian. We just have such a colorful cast in this figuratively and not figuratively. It's an important film for all ethnicities and all diverse artists of color.
