Fady Elsayed Latest News, Photos, and Videos

JJJ really finds it hard to believe that Disney is having a really hard time casting the title role for their live-action Aladdin.

Apparently, there’s an issue casting a “male lead in his 20s who can act and sing”, plus he has to be “of Middle-Eastern or Indian descent.”

Um, have they seen Avan Jogia, Deniz Akdeniz or even Life of Pi‘s Suraj Sharma? We’re sure they would be amazing in the part — as would our pick, Fady Elsayed.

Don’t know him? Well, you should. Fady stars on BBC’s Class as Ram, and yes, he’s perfect at it.

We know for sure he can act, and yes, he’s of Middle Eastern descent…so can he sing? That’s the bigger question. Even if he isn’t the best, Fady is still our pick…so why is Disney taking this long to cast him?

TELL JJJ: Who is your pick for Disney’s live-action Aladdin?

Tonight’s the night that BBC’s new show, Class, makes its’ debut — and JJJ is really excited.

If you’re a Doctor Who fan, or even a Supernatural fan, you will most likely love this show.

Class centers on four Coal Hill School students who have hidden secrets and desires.

They are facing their own worst fears, navigating a life of friends, parents, school work, sorrow � and possibly the end of existence.

Coal Hill School has been a part of the Doctor Who universe since the start, but it’s come at a price.

All the time travelling over the years has caused the very walls of space and time to become thin. There’s something pressing in on the other side, something waiting for its chance to kill everyone and everything, to bring us all into Shadow.

Class premieres TONIGHT @ 10PM ET/PT on BBC America.
