Amir El Masry to Star as Young Mohamed Al Fayed in Netflix’s The Crown

Following his lead role in the critically acclaimed British film Limbo as well as star turns in Netflix’s ‘The One’, ‘Industry’, ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ and hit Egyptian Ramadan TV series ‘Al Ikhtiyar’, BAFTA award-winning Egyptian actor Amir El Masry rises to the occasion once more having landed the role of a young Mohamed Al-Fayed in the new season of blockbuster Netflix drama ‘The Crown’.

Egyptian business mogul and former Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed is the father of Dody Al-Fayed, the businessman who famously courted Princess Diana and died tragically alongside her in a car accident in Paris in 1997 following a paparazzi car chase. With years of controversy surrounding this particular moment in history, this is bound to be one of the most closely watched storylines in the show’s history.
