Mohamed Hamaki: I've Been Making a Documentary about My Career for 10 Years
Yara Sameh Egyptian superstar Mohamed Hamaki is opening up about several aspects of his career, including his future projects, new album, and dream of acting. In conversation with the " ET Bil Arabi ', Hamaki said that he still dreams of acting, adding that he has been offered many roles since the beginning of his career but has yet to find a role that fulfils his acting ambitions. He noted, "I hope my career doesn't end before I star in a film with a different artistic vision." Hamaki also revealed a project he has been working on for nearly a decade: a documentation of his music career. He noted that it is still in the development phase and has yet to receive a premiere date. As for his new album, the superstar emphasized that he always strives to provide content that appeals to his fans, which is why the album's releases have been delayed. He explained, "I'm not intentionally delaying my fans, but I want to present a complete work that appeals to them. We have already finalized all the songs, and there's only a short time left before the album is ready for release.' The record consists of 10 songs and was initially slated to arrive in the summer. In the album, Hamaki cooperates with new collaborations with composers Tamer Hussein, Aziz Elshafei, and more. The megastar released his last album 'Howa El Asas' in August 2024. Hamaki, born on November 4, 1975, is one of Egypt's and the Middle East's most talented male singers. He released his first single in 1997 and his first album 'Khalina Neesh' (Let's Live) in 2003. Hamaki's music career consisted of more than a dozen songs and 9 albums. The acclaimed singer won many awards including the 'Best Arabia Act' award at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2010 and the 'Best Singer' award in 2008 at the MTV Music Awards. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Ed Sheeran Reunites with Doppelgänger Rupert Grint for New Music Video, 14 Years after "Lego House"
Yara Sameh Ed Sheeran fans are in for a double treat once again. Fourteen years after the pop star first tapped Rupert Grint to play his stalker/doppelgänger in the 2011 ' Lego House ' music video, the two ginger have teamed up once again for a new music video arriving very soon. Releasing Thursday alongside a new song titled 'A Little More,' the video will feature the Harry Potter star seemingly reprising his role from the 'Lego House' visual. In a clip posted by Sheeran on Monday, Grint steps out of a prison — where he appears to have spent the past decade and a half in custody — and starts walking as the memories of his past crimes flash through his mind. The montage that plays features clips from 'Lego House,' showing Grint getting tackled after he sneaks into a concert venue and pretends to be the Grammy winner onstage. '14 years later me and @rupertgrint are reunited,' Sheeran captioned the footage. 'I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully rupert was up for it. It's an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song.' The musician also confirmed that 'A Little More' will appear on his upcoming album Play, noting that he thinks it'll be 'a lot of people's fav song' on the September-slated project. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) Shortly prior to the official song announcement, Sheeran posted a funny clip of himself and Grint singing along to the lyrics. The two men have been poking fun at their similarities as fellow red-headed English stars for years. After Grint played Sheeran's obsessive fan in 'Lego House,' the Knock at the Cabin actor joked on an MTV News comedy skit that Sheeran was never a real person, but instead a character he made up. 'After Potter, all I wanted to do was stretch myself, create some real magic, so I created a character,' he said in the sketch. 'He'd have the voice of an angel, impossibly wispy facial hair. So I bought a guitar and a bunch of flannel, and I called him Ed — Ed Sheeran.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
