'Actual Aladdin can't get an audition but the token white dude gets his own series?' one person tweeted. (via toofab)
"I'm kind of tired of staying quiet about it," Massoud toldTuesday. "I want people to know that it's not always dandelions and roses when you're doing something like 'Aladdin.' 'He must have made millions. He must be getting all these offers.' It's none of those things. I haven't had a single audition since 'Aladdin' came out."
Because of this, many people took to Twitter to share their anger over the fact that Magnussen, a white actor, might be getting a spinoff when he only appeared in a couple of scenes, when Egyptian-born Massoud was the film's lead actor and can't get work. "Actual Aladdin can't get an audition but the token white dude gets his own series?" one person wrote. "Haha f--k you, Hollywood. You're racist."
"So the dude who plays Aladdin can't get an audition but the one white dude with one scene in a majority brown cast gets his own movie," another added. "Certainly a great look Disney."
