Akram Hosny: An artistic symphony between "Tegy Nassib" and "The Captain"

In a warm and spontaneous episode, veteran media personality Mona El-Shazly hosted beloved Egyptian actor Akram Hosny on her popular show "With Mona El-Shazly," taking the audience on an enjoyable journey through key artistic and humanitarian milestones in his career. The session was full of laughter and interesting stories.

Laughter breaks the screen routine...and confessions reveal behind-the-scenes secrets and celebrity relationships. Hosny revealed exclusive details about his fruitful collaboration with superstar Angham on the song "Tegy Nseeb," shared an unforgettable moment with the late football legend Diego Maradona, and shared a fun behind-the-scenes look at his latest Ramadan series, "El Captain," which captivated viewers.

"Tegy Nesib"... How was Hosni's romance born outside of comedy? In an engaging narrative style, Akram Hosny recalled the story of the birth of the song "Tegy Nseeb", which was created by Angham with her warm voice. He revealed that the seed of this romantic song was planted about three years ago in a magical summer atmosphere on the North Coast, where he was sitting with the creative poet Amir Taaima, the star Angham, and the artist Chico. At that time, Taaima pointed out to Angham that Hosny had a talent for writing romantic songs in addition to his specialization in comedy. Based on this discovery, Angham asked Hosny to play some of his romantic works for her, so he visited her the next day and presented her with two musical masterpieces: "Tegy Nseeb" and "Khalik Ma'aha." As soon as Angham listened to them, she immediately expressed her admiration and asked him to sing them on her new album, which she was preparing at the time, confirming her belief in this type of songs that Hosny writes despite his comedic approach to singing.

"The Captain" is a comedy of spirits and a backstage full of fun and surprises. The conversation moved to behind the scenes of the series “The Captain”, where Akram Hosny painted a vivid picture of the atmosphere that prevailed on the set, and with a smile he recounted a funny “repeated refrain” that was repeated after every scene that brought him together with the young artist Omar Sharqi, who would always come to him to tell him that he had a “sweet idea” for the scene they had just finished filming, but that he was “embarrassed” to bring it up at the time, so he would come back and repeat the same sentence in the next scene, which added an air of humor to the work.

Hosni also pointed out his special relationship with artist Ahmed Abdel Wahab, with whom he worked as writers, but their first face-to-face meeting was during rehearsals for the series. He described Abdel Wahab as a "very spontaneous" person with a "strange" way of dancing that resembled the movements of penguins, and his great height would put whoever stood next to him in a comedic embarrassing situation.

Maradona gives Hosni a "treasure"...the story of the legend's T-shirt on Fahmy Gomaa's show Akram Hosny revealed an unexpected surprise about his meeting with the late football legend Diego Maradona. Hosny explained that he is not a football fan at all, but fate wanted him to be a guest on the “Fahmy Gomaa” program, presented by Ahmed Fahmy and Wael Gomaa, during one of the World Cup editions. In that special episode, Maradona was also among the guests, and to commemorate this moment, Maradona signed shirts for all the attendees, Akram Hosny being one of them. Hosny confirmed that he keeps this shirt as a “treasure” in his home, admitting that despite not following football, he had a special love for Maradona as a child, and this shirt became a priceless memory.

An enthusiastic dance and a joyful ululation...a festive atmosphere at "With You" with the heroes of "The Captain" The fun wasn't limited to the behind-the-scenes stories, but extended into the studio of the "With You" program, where the stars of the series "The Captain" lit up the atmosphere with joyful segments. Akram Hosny performed an enthusiastic dance that the audience interacted with enthusiastically, while young actress Rahma Ahmed surprised the audience with an authentic Egyptian ululation full of vitality and energy, which added a touch of joy and happiness to the episode, and reflected the harmony and fruitful cooperation between the stars of the work.

Hosni reveals the secret behind the ease of his role in "The Captain" and praises his colleagues' efforts. Speaking about the series “The Captain,” Akram Hosny revealed a funny point of view regarding the difficulty of performing his role compared to the rest of the actors. He explained that he considers his role “relatively easier” due to the nature of his character in the work, which is his ability to see the spirits of deceased passengers, unlike the rest of the characters who were unable to see them. This difference made the performance of his colleagues more challenging, as they were required to interact with characters invisible to them within the context of the events. Hosny added that he sometimes felt sorry for his colleagues due to the difficulty of this type of interaction, while he had the advantage of seeing these spirits and interacting with them easily within the scenes.
