Comedian Mohamed Heneidy celebrates his birthday today, Wednesday, February 1, as he was born on this day in 1965.
Henedy’s artistic beginnings were with director Youssef Chahine, as he was assigned a small role in his first appearance through the movie Alexandria Why, in 1979.
Shaheen gave advice to Heneidy, and told him: “You are smart and you will work in cinema and theatre, but don’t stop selling milk. I mean, don’t take the milk and go to every studio and distribute it. If you get a lot of work, give it sincerely.”
Heneidy continued, during a previous interview with the media, Lamees Al-Hadidi, via Channel One: “He wanted to tell me that he did not work a lot, he worked a little, and from here a friendship relationship began between me and the late Youssef Chahine.”
Muhammad Heneidy appeared in Comparis at the age of 14, and he also appeared with the artist Faten Hamama in the movie A Sweet Day and a Passing Day, nominated by director Khairy Bishara, and drew attention to him as the assistant director.
As for the beginning of the audience’s knowledge of him as a promising cinematic face, it was during his distinguished appearance in one scene in the movie Bakhit and Adela with the leader Adel Imam, where he added to the scene words that opened the door to fame for him.
Then his real breakthrough began in the movie “Ismailia Rayeh Jay” with the artist Mohamed Fouad and the artist Khaled El Nabawi.
