Abdelmonem Choyet - Actor
IBRAHIM LETAYEF decided to hire for this movie a group of professional actors because he is convinced that if an actor has control of his art he can save time because he won’t have to take many shots.
My name in the movie is CHAHINE. Then I changed it to YOUSSEF. For IBRAHIM, it is a reference to the famous Egyptian director.
IBRAHIM has noticed me in other movies. Then, we met in FESPARCO festival in OUGADOUGOU. This meeting has brought us closer to each other. He suggested me for this role in the movie even though there were other candidates.
I read the script, I liked it but I was afraid of this experience. Comedies are not the kind of things I want to do.
IBRAHIM has explained to me that he was not looking for a forced comic side but a Situation comic. Then he introduced me to the other two leading comedians: Mohamed Ali BEN JEMAA and Mohamed GRAI before the shooting which has made things easier for me.
