Artist Bayoumi Fouad spoke about his opinion of the audience, stressing that it is the reason behind the actor’s success.
Bayoumi added, on the “Secrets of the Stars” program: “The audience is the most important thing in the world. It is the one that makes a star appear and it is the one that causes the earth to collapse.”
Bayoumi Fouad had sparked a state of controversy among his followers on social media after his recent statements following the presentation of one of the nights of the play “Artificial Marriage,” during which some indicated that he was directing his speech to the artist Mohamed Salam after the latter’s apology for the play.
Bayoumi Fouad’s statements, which caused a state of anger towards him, were as follows: “You have the right to apologize for the play, but you do not have the right to make mistakes in your art. We are not coming to laugh. We are presenting our Egyptian art. You respect us and we respect you very much.”
While the artist Muhammad Salam apologized for the play a few days before it was scheduled to be shown during the Riyadh season in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, he was replaced by the artist Muhammad Anwar.
It is noteworthy that the play “Artificial Marriage” was shown from last October 30 until November 4, at the Muhammad Al-Ali Theater in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
