If you had any trepidations about Disney's live-action Aladdin (https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Live-Action-Aladdin-Movie-Details-43287626), cast your worries aside. The film recently revealed that newcomer Mena Massoud would be playing the title character (https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Aladdin-Live-Action-Movie-Cast-43745775), and let's just say, we are already obsessed. **t only does he have some striking resemblances to "Prince Ali" (https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Mena-Massoud-Hottest-Pictures-43745950) (hello, look at those abs!), but his inspiration for pursuing acting has a sweet connection to the original film. Plus, it seems like we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the coming months. Get to k**w all you can about the latest Disney prince below.

All the Places You Might Have Seen Disney's New Aladdin, Mena Massoud (https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/What-Has-Mena-Massoud-Been-43746012)
1. He's Canadian but Has Ties to Egypt
Mena was born in Egypt, but raised in Canada. **w, he spends his time between Toronto and LA (https://www.instagram.com/menamassey/?hl=en).
2. Robin Williams Inspired Him to Become an Actor
In a crazy twist of fate, Robin, who voiced Genie in the original Aladdin, played a significant role in Mena's career. During an interview with The Hudsucker, the 24-year-old said the late actor was an inspiration "in everything he did (https://thehudsucker.com/2015/02/24/heart-to-heart-chatting-with-mena-massoud-of-open-heart/). He was an incredibly well-rounded actor but I grew up on his role in Mrs. Doubtfire. That role by itself is very well-rounded and he goes through an amazing journey in that movie. I think it's very underrated."
3. He Got His Start on The CW
In 2011, Mena got his breakout role when he guest-starred in season one of spy thriller Nikita.

4. He Has Ties to Degrassi
While the Canadian actor never walked the halls of Degrassi High, a handful of his costars did.

5. He Looks Very Good Without a Shirt
Don't worry, Mena will have ** problem pulling off those shirtless Aladdin scenes in the live-action movie. The actor is super into fitness and healthy living, which he so kindly documents on social media (https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Mena-Massoud-Hottest-Pictures-43745950).
6. You'll Be Seeing Even More of Him Very Soon
Aladdin isn't the only place you'll be seeing his face. He will also be appearing in Amazon's Jack Ryan ****** (http://deadline.com/2017/03/manhunt-the-unabomer-cast-john-berchtold-tom-clancys-jack-ryan-mena-massoud-1202040365/) alongside John Krasinski.
