Karim Abdel Aziz: My age is the "year of life" and Faten Hamama advised me to stay at home

The Egyptian artist Karim Abdel Aziz revealed the secret of his distance from his fans, not interacting with them through social networking sites, or appearing in artistic and public events, indicating his commitment to the advice given to him by the late artist Faten Hamama that the star should stay inside his home to preserve his position in the conscience of his fans.

And he added in a special symposium held yesterday as part of the Cairo Film Industry Days, on the occasion of his honor in the 43rd session of the Cairo Film Festival: “When I represented the year 1997, I received the award for the best new face. A series, and she interrupted me. She told me I saw you in Ramadan, and I want to tell you about advice. You want to remain a famous actor and enter homes, so I told her the dream of my life, and she told me to sit in your house.”

Karim Abdel Aziz continued, "I said, look, the respected generation. I am not useful as an actor, but you say it elegantly, but she explained it to me and said to me, I mean, if you are destined for 10 joys, the soul of one joy, and do not let people take away from you a lonely idea, and I took this word and your appearance is pure."

Karim Abdel Aziz justified his failure to present plays, and his interest in cinema and drama, saying: "I did one play in my life, which is Hakim Oyoun, and the theater does not love me, so we don't agree, and this, of course, requires commitment to appointments."

In response to the controversy surrounding the appearance of signs of his aging while receiving the Faten Hamama Excellence Award, Karim confirmed that his advanced age does not cause him a crisis, as he indicated that this is the year of life, and this is a natural thing that he cannot change.

He continued, "This is a time and I will not stop my fate and destiny is not in my hands... But this does not cause me a crisis, I am in my thirties or forties."

Karim Abdel Aziz continued: "My handsomeness is a blessing from our Lord, but this is not the thing on which you will build your success... I mean, you will not sell the film with your handsomeness, I mean... it is possible that handsomeness in the beginning enters the field, but you will not depend on it."

Karim Abdel Aziz also revealed the developments of the series "The Choice", and the date of the start of filming the third part of it, adding: "The choice of 3 will happen soon, I, Ahmed Ezz and Ahmed El Sakka."
