Van Damme praised Mohamed Ramadan as "great actor"

CAIRO – 11 May 2019: Famed international star Jean-Claude Van Damme has praised Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan in a video published by Ramadan on his official Instagram account, after the two actors collaborated together in an advertisement.

"Hey Mohamed Ramadan, how are you? It was great working with you. I appreciate your kindness. You're a great actor, good face, good body and one day maybe we will work together, we'll see, inshallah," the famed actor and kickboxing star said in the video.

Ramadan is currently partcipating in the Ramadan marathon with his latest series ‘’Zelzal’’ alongside Hala Shiha, Hanady Mehana, Maged el Masry Ahmed Seyam, Nesrine Amin, Youssef Osman, among others. Shiha is returning back to acting after a long hiatus of 12 years.

In "Zelzal", Ramadan performs the role of both the father and son, an experience he previously succeeded in, in the series “Nesr El Saeed” which gained great success in Ramadan 2018.

The events of the series take place in 1992 when a devastating earthquake struck Egypt. A man buys a house in instalments and the last instalment is due; the owner of the house demands that the house be registered in his name and his ownership is renounced.

The seller decides to wait and prolongs the process until the devastating earthquake strikes. The buyer dies and the house collapses post the destructive force of the earthquake.

The seller then refuses to hand over the piece of land on which the house was built to the heirs of the deceased, creating a clash between him and the son of the deceased.

Despite the fact that there is a love story between the daughter of the seller and the son of the deceased, the girl's father stands between them.

The series is directed by Yasser Samy and written by Abdul Rahim Kamal. “Zelzal” is the production of Synergy.


Ramadan’s first concert achieved a booming success.

The concert was held at Al Manara Int. Convention Centre on March 29.

Ramadan performed a selection of his songs that were filmed as video clips such as “Ana Mafia” (I am Mafia), “Virus”, “No. 1”, “Ana el-Malek” (I am the King) among others.
Ramadan received the award of the greatest talent nationwide three consecutive times.

He started his career with small roles in TV series like “The Cindrella" until he had his big chance in YousryNasrallah's “EhkyYaSharazad” (Tell me, Shahrazad).

He then became the star of movies produced by famous Egyptian producer Ahmed el-Sobky, which made him one of the most famous actors in the Middle East.

Mohamed Ramadan is perhaps the only Egyptian actor to have been praised by internationally acclaimed late actor Omar Sharif, who stated that he had chosen the young actor to perpetuate his acting career.

Ramadan previously celebrated as four of his songs were among the top Egyptian music videos for 2018 in terms of viewership on YouTube.

“Mafia” has taken all social media platforms by storm, and was the most searched on Google, making it the trend of the first days of 2019.

The clip achieved millions of views a few hours after its launch on Ramadan’s official YouTube channel. Ramadan received appraisal from his fans on the clip, which he presented in a distinctive way.

Ramadan is currently shooting his upcoming Ramadan series “Zilzal” (Earthquake). The series is produced by Synergy Productions.

"Zilzal" is written by Abdel Raouf Kamal and directed by IbrhaimFakhr. Actress HalaShiha will co-star with Ramadan after years of hiatus.
