His voice and his personality are 🤩

[@clding5558]

oh I was obsessed by his smile when he comes out in the film. it's shinning and charming. Just like the title song says "shinning, shimmering splendid." his voice is also beautiful and even I like it more than the one in the original animation version.

[@scottsummers4234]

He's so dreamy! Perfect casting 😍

[@kynduh7265]

I love how Mena answers every single question with such depth and a lot of interesting elements.

Aladdin is going to be awesome also Mena is going to be huge with high expectations to be in a lot of stuff and I hope he appears in a lot more movies 🎥

[@ammarnemoactor7880]

The cast Is not even in middle eastern which is crazy. I am happy it is a diverse cast he’s right about supply and demand

[@yesenialopez8067]

Egypt is an Arab nation & Mena is Egyptian

[@ammarnemoactor7880]

There’s like five different versions one where he’s Egyptian But the majority story is that he’s Middle Eastern, Egyptians still speak Arabic I was even talking about the actor that played in Aladdin I’m just talking about in general. I think the actor that’s playing jarfer is middle eastern. I’m definitely happy that they didn’t white wash this movie. It is a very diverse cast which is cool. Not like ghost in the shell.

[@ammarnemoactor7880]

Ps I just got done watching the movie it was pretty good everybody did a good job. Will smith definitely was the MVP

[@sumii_2226]

[@priscillaaa_j]

late reply but wait you're onto something-

[@shanelocsin9906]

I wonder if he ever wondered why his Aladdin has to wear a shirt in this remake while the original is shirtless? 🤔

[@ralphcorneliuscastro]

Maybe it's because Disney doesn't want a shirtless Aladdin that may be deemed too inappropriate for young viewers!

[@shanelocsin9906]

@@ralphcorneliuscastro I completely understand your point.😁 He still wears a vest though. Going back in the 90's I think no one thought the animated Aladdin was inappropriate as well. Let's hope Disney will explain about this. 😁

[@erinlee5936]

@@shanelocsin9906 It might be also a point of cultural authenticity. Disney wants the movie to be more culturally appropriate and historically accurate (as much as it can be). If we're talking about culture, there are no shirtless men in the Middle East during the time period (or any time period really) that the story is set in. Audiences will definitely criticize Disney if they don't make it historically and culturally appropriate. Plus it's in their company's mission vision. They would not be "on-brand" if they failed in that aspect. No one would see the film just for that.

[@shanelocsin9906]

@@erinlee5936 yeah, I thought of that as well. Maybe it's a move to make it more modest in a way, knowing that it is to depict Middle East. I appreciate your reaponse. 😁

[@solcarlosofficial]

I don’t know why I get a vibe he is not that excited

[@bratzboi]

Animation Geek I think he’s probably just nervous lol. I can’t imagine him being a relatively unknown actor and just knowing how big you’re about to get right before you’re movie comes out. He did say they wrapped filming a year and a half ago so he had all that time to relax and just work but now that his biggest project is about to be released he’s probably overwhelmed with the new attention he’s getting. At least that’s what I’m assuming is the case haha who knows for sure.

[@blerksnarfgut7332]

Animation Geek I felt the same way. He wasn't charismatic at all here. Naomi Scott and Will Smith have so much energy and enthusiasm so he's going to be left in the dust on the press tour if he doesn't try to match them.

[@A-Dubs398]

@@blerksnarfgut7332 Left in the dust to what? Not everyone has to be super charismatic, it's not their job to entertain your short attention span. He's an actor, he just has to act well in his movies. Many all time great actors suck at interviews, but that's irrelevant, it's just about acting. Why do people always expect everyone to be super engergic and loud? Not everyone is exactly the same.

[@DeeDiamond2981]

He was great on Sways show. He is probably tired

‘Spoiler’. This movie came out 28 years ago. If there’s something that’s a spoiler, that means they didn’t stick to the script and I’m gonna be pissed.

[@kamiaperez8807]

If they stick to the script, It would be boring

[@Nazaba09]

Kamia Perez uh no, if they stuck to the script that’d be AMAZING. No one is going into these movies going ‘I can’t wait to see what they changed!’. 🙄

Just watched it. I personally loved it. Mini spoilers: They made many additions. Aladdin has always been extravagant anyways. They filled in some stuff tht lacked in the past. They added things that made sense.

[@kutellaalvey4]

Yes you are reading into things. Mena and Will are literally the best of friends. Watch other interviews and see how much they compliment each other and the berlin press con when Will gave Mena a big hug. There is nothing about this video that creates the impression that they aren't good friends.

[@angelcostoy8429]

@holy crap i thought the same. Though i did see ( finally) one interview in a presscon where Will complimented Mena and cite a scene where he said Will realized how great or deep Mena was as an actor

[@daniellemisuriello4994]

Yes you are definitely reading way to much into things. Will & Mena are good friends Will at the Aladdin LA Premiere Will said that Mena is a brilliant young actor he gives a beautiful performance as Aladdin & he absolutely smashed it and there is a clip from behind the scenes at a press conference in LA where they were messing around & giving each other a bro hug so believe me Will & Mena are good friends & at the the press conference in Berlin Will gave Mena a big hug so I don’t know where you are getting the impression that Will doesn’t like Mena.
