“ I would like to say that I am much stronger and feel that God are with me all the time. I fear my God and only want to satisfy him”.
There is no doubt about his talent and extraordinary success because of his hard work and devotion to what he is doing. His sincerity and unique character have contributed a lot to that success. Since his first appearance on the screen he reminded us with the great old times and handsome actors but with a new,energetic essence and soul. Ahmed Ezz is one of a kind and he is still has a lot to present. His strong faith and believe in God helped him a lot to pass his last crisis.Ahmed Ezz will talk it all in the coming interview so don't miss it.
At first we would like to congratulate you for the success of your new series “El Excellence” and how do you evaluate this experience? I am so happy with this experience and thank God for the success it achieved. The television is a very dangerous tool and if I was not totally convinced I would have never do it. I always like to discuss the current political issues in my works, in this series we are talking about Muslim Brotherhood and what they have done throughout the past year and before in Al Adham series we discussed the illegal immigration and its affect on the youth. But for evaluating the experience I can’t do that because I have never liked myself when I watch it, I leave it to the audiences and thanks God the viewership rates are among the highest rates according to Al Hayat Channel and many other surveys. And we must also consider the fact that we are only showing in one channel, El Hayat, and this is a success in itself because if you are showing in many channels, people will definitely see you, but in only one channel, they will look for you if they like what you are presenting. In general I am so happy with my experience this Ramadan and to be among such great actors as Adel Imam, Yehia El Fakhrany and others.
Ahmed Ezz likes to work with certain directors most of the times as Sandra Nashat and Wael Abdallah, why is that? I am only keen to work with successful, talented, and creative directors. And I think that all the directors I worked with are like that. Sandra Nashat is a big name who is very talented and knows well how to get the best out of me. As for wael Abdallah he is my producer since very long time and we know and understand each other very well. But it is his first time to be my director although he directed other successful works. Wael is different and has unique sense in directing and I think that this was very clear in the last series. I don’t care if it is the first experience or the hundred for any director but what I care about is the talent, vision, and creativity.
What about the cinema, any new movies, and how do you see this season? At first I would like to salute El Sobky Production Company for its continuous efforts to keep the wheel on. Whether we agree or disagree with what El Sobky presents. We can’t deny that it is only because of this company the cinema industry is still on. They never stopped working even in the most difficult times. As for this season I see it as a promising one with very good movies for big stars. And I wish them all the best of success. And for me and my new plans for cinema, I have three offers but didn’t decide yet which one to accept. I am not planning for something soon as I need some rest after El Excellence and also I don’t want the audiences to get bored from me.
How do you see Egypt after the recent changes? I am so optimistic and always was even in the darkest moments. I believe that Egypt will be much better but we just need some time. And it is not only in el Sisi’s hand but in all Egyptians hands. We must love each other more, respect each other more. Concentrate in work and only work. And our roles as artists are the same, work and present respectful movies to upgrade the audiences taste and sense. For me I always try to present something not to be shy from.
At last what would you like to say about your last problems with Zeina and all the rumors you have been through? I would like to say that I am much stronger and feel that God are with me all the time. I fear my God and only want to satisfy him.
