*Coronavirus vaccination

Tunisian actor also addressed the coronavirus vaccination in his homeland, Tunisia, noting that he didn’t get coronavirus vaccination.

L’Abidine revealed that he isn’t currently residing permanently in Tunisia, noting that he will be vaccinated in London, where the vaccine rollout is carried out to older age groups, then the youngest, which is why he has yet to receive the vaccination against coronavirus.

* Ahmed El Sakka is a star in Egypt

Ouertani asked a provocative, rather than constructive, question about the reason that made the actor accept becoming a secondary lead after Egyptian actor Ahmed El Sakka in the film “The Spider”.

However, L’Abidine didn't take the bait. He noted that the production is a joint work between El Sakka and that these pisions do not exist or did he feel them in the film.

Ouertani pressed on and noted these things exist in Egypt, adding: ‘Your wage is definitely less than the El Sakka’s,’.

‘I don’t know what El Sakka was paid for the film and I cannot ask him, but if this did occur, then surely because he is a major Egyptian star, has a huge audience, and the film is an Egyptian production and this does not bother me,’ the actor added.

He continued: ‘El Sakka is a good and cooperative person,’.

* Handsome and stardom

Talking about his handsome features played a role in his stardom, L’Abidine noted that features can give people an advantage, but success and continuity for years require talent and diligence.

He also discussed his new look, nothing that his beard for his character in the film “Ghodwa”.

Furthermore, L’Abidine addressed sharing photos of his family on social media and his outings.

‘I don't go out much and I don't like to put family photos on Instagram.’ he added.
