About his wife, the Mu'tazila artist, Shams Al-Baroudi, Youssef said, “She is the queen of my life and the most beautiful of women, and this is the true love that extends and strengthens with time. Ingredients and this is the secret of the continuation of our life and its success.
Youssef revealed that during his meeting with the late President Hosni Mubarak, he asked him: Why did you not travel outside Egypt?
