Mena Massoud Waited Four Months to Hear Anything After Sending in 'Aladdin' Audition Tape
Mena Massoud‘s press tour for Aladdin is in full swing and he’s opening up about the process for auditioning for the movie.
The 27-year-old actor stopped by the Build Series for an interview on Monday (May 6) in New York City.
“I sent in an audition tape when it came out to the world. They had put on all these public casting calls and my agent sent me a request to put in a tape. And then we didn’t hear anything for four months. Usually, as an actor, if you didn’t hear back in a month, it’s usually dead in the water, so I moved on from it as actors do and I forgot about it,” Mena said.
“Four months later we get a call… so from that point things picked up. I did another tape. I flew to London twice to test for it with Naomi [Scott] a few times. And then I booked it,” he added.
