Hassan Youssef (actor)

Hassan Youssef (Arabic: حسن يوسف‎‎‎; born 14 April 1934) is an Egyptian actor. He performed in many films since 1960s and indicated that he made fifteen films with the famous Egyptian actress Soad Hosni all of which were successful at the box office (the interview is available on YouTube).

He is married to former actress Shams al-Baroudi.[1] They have a son, Omar H. Youssef.[2]

On July 11, 2011, on the road between Cairo and Alexandria, a group of thugs attacked Hassan. Hassan said that revolutionaries should help protect the road rather than demonstrate in Tahrir Square.[3]

In an interview broadcast on Egypt's Dream 2 TV on September 28, 2013 (as translated by MEMRI), Youssef claimed that recent controversial statements by Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi were either the result of him being replaced by a body double or the implanting of a mind control chip in his brain by Israel in order to control him. Youssef stated that "Israel is capable of anything...It's a double. Or a chip. There can be no other explanation" and advised that the Sheik be "declared legally incompetent."[4][5][6][7]

During the interview, Youssef also claimed that Faisal bin Musaid, who assassinated his uncle, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, in 1975, had "met a Jewish woman abroad and fell in love with her. She [then] took him to Israel, where they operated on him and planted a chip in his brain, and they remote-controlled him, until he killed his uncle."[4]
