Those of you who frequent chat rooms that discuss ‘Bab El Hara’ will have seen photos of Syrian actor Samer Al Masri drinking alcohol and with several women. These photos provoked quite a scandal and Al Masri has come out and said that they are obviously Photo-shopped. He went on to say that not only was the lighting wrong in the pictures but also they show him wear a brand of watch that he never wears and a shirt that is only worn by members of the ‘lost’ youth!

Notice the hands on both pictures, they aren't identical!

You may have read my previous articles on Syrian actors and actresses taking part in Egyptian dramas this Ramadan. Many people argue that this was a great idea and that it showed unity between Arabs in the field of the Arts. However, one Syrian actor who says he does not want to be part of Egyptian dramas is Abbas Al Nouri! He says that he is like a Syrian plant that if removed from its place of growth could wilt and die. He says he belongs in Syria and on Syrian TV and that if he wants to grow he must do so in his own country.

It's no secret that the most adored character in the popular tv series Bab El Hara 2 is Mutaz, the son of Abu Essam.
Mutaz is brought to life by Syrian actor Wael Sharaf.
This guy is still at the first few steps of his career and being in Bab El Hara has given him a good boost.
Wael chooses his roles carefully, he's been offered a few roles before Bab El Haraq, but saw them to be unfit for his character, but Mutaz was a role he couldn't refuse.
Wael mentioned in an interview with 'Laylak' magazine, that in a few weeks, shooting of the 3rd part of Bab El Hara will begin. All the cast and crew are excited about it.

What do you think of Wael Sharaf?
What do you think, is he as adorable in real life as he was in Bab El Hara?

For those of you not familiar with Asmahan’s career, she was born in 1918 as Amal El Attrache, sister to Farid El Attrache. She is from the Druze village of Suwayda in Syria. Asmahan started her career in Syria and Lebanon and later moved to Egypt to sing under the tutelage of Riyadh el-Sonbati and Muhammad Al-Qassabji. Asmahan became the sensation of the arab world in the early 1940’s and acted in a number of memorable Egyptian films.

Syrian actor Ghassan Massoud, who has previously starred in the great movie Kingdom of Heaven, also stars in the upcoming Pirates of The Caribbean movie.

It is worth mentioning that Massoud starred in the 2006 movie about Iraq 'Valley of The Wolves' alongside actor Billy Zane.

How well Jamal Suliman do in the Egyptian series "Hada'k Al Shaytan" or "Gardens of the Devil"?

The Syrian actor was shocked when he read the script of the show. He said in an interview that he put his hand on his heart for three reasons. The first being that it was a TV show which will go on for a month and not a one-shot movie so he would have to gain the love of the audience all the way through. The second being that his character was an evil one but the third and most important was he would have to play the role using an Egyptian accent...and not just any accent...a Sa'eedi (from the Egyptian countryside) accent too!

Most critics said that he got the accent right by 80% but had a few Syrian words slip out. In response to this he said:

Tayem Hassan is one of the fast rising Syrian actors nowadays. He is handsome, charismatic and is a very good actor. You might have seen him lately, last Ramadan, in the historic series Muluk Al Tawaef & the life story of Nizar Qabbani.
Here are a few photos of Tayem Hassan in some of his roles.
