Lotfy Labib Hospitalized in ICU
Yara Sameh
Veteran Egyptian actor Lotfy Labib was hospitalized in the intensive care (ICU) on Sunday after suffering a health scare. He underwent the medical tests to determine the cause of his illness.
Father Boutros Daniel, director of the Catholic Centre for Cinema in Egypt, has shared an update on the actor's health, explaining that he suffered a sudden health issue in the past hours that required his transfer to the hospital, where he is in the ICU and banned from receiving visitors.
He added that Labib is attached to his fans, loves them, and appreciates them, and asked the actor's fans to pray for him.
"The best thing they can do now is pray for his speedy recovery," Labib noted.
Labib's manager explained that the acclaimed actor had previously suffered a stroke that affected his movement, leading to his temporary absence from the acting scene.
He added that Labib is undergoing regular physical therapy sessions and continuing his daily life normally despite the limited number of projects offered to him, due to his current health condition.
On March 29, the veteran actor announced his retirement from acting due to his health condition. "In my current health condition, if I get a role, I won't be able to play it because I prefer that my image remains as it was to the fans," he said.
Born on August 18, 1947, Labib is an Egyptian stage, television, and film actor. The acclaimed actor has worked profusely, in many supporting but memorable roles, with over 200 film and television credits.
Through many of his screen appearances, Labib has performed admirably and has shown himself to be one of the strongest performers of his generation.
