Lotfy Labib Admitted Again to ICU

Veteran Egyptian actor Lotfy Labib was transferred again on Tuesday to the intensive care unit (ICU) in critical condition after suffering from another health scare.

This was the veteran actor's second time this month to be hospitalised.

On July 13, Labib was admitted to the ICU after suffering from a sudden health crisis.

Born on August 18, 1947, Labib is an Egyptian stage, television, and film actor. The acclaimed actor has worked profusely, in many supporting but memorable roles, with over 200 film and television credits.

Through many of his screen appearances, the veteran actor has performed admirably and has shown himself to be one of the strongest performers of his generation.

On March 29, Labib announced his retirement from acting due to his health condition. "In my current health condition, if I get a role, I won't be able to play it because I prefer that my image remains as it was to the fans," he said.

He made his final onscreen appearance in the 2024 film “Ana W Ibn Khalti” ("Me and My Cousin").

Hanady Mehanna, Bayoumi Fouad, Sayed Ragab, Mimi Gamal, Sara Abdelrahman, Ali Loka, and Enaam Salousa round out the cast. Ahmed Saleh directed from a script by Doaa Abdel Wahab and Amr Abu Zeid.

The official logline for the film states, “Engage in the traditional, age-old rivalry through several comedic situations to prove who's better, only to discover in the end that the real victory is family and that everyone is best loved by those around them.”
