Aladdin's lead actor is getting ready for the official release of Disney's live-action adaptation on May 24, and, well, he definitely hasn't forgotten his origins amid all the fame.

In a video uploaded on Twitter and Instagram, 27-year-old Mena Massoud invites his Egyptian fans to see the film ... all while speaking Arabic.



"People of Egypt, hello! I am so excited for you to watch Disney's production, Aladdin. I am proud to be part of the film and I hope you'll like and enjoy it just as much as I enjoyed myself while filming it," the actor said.

He then ended his video with a salutation to his country, repeatedly saying: "Long live Egypt."
