Gina Abou Zeid: A Star In Motion
Fearless, Versatile, and Unstoppable—Meet Our Cover Star
Some actors discover their passion later in life, but for Gina Abou Zeid, it was a calling that arrived early. From the moment she stepped onto a set at just seven years old, the magic of storytelling, the thrill of the camera, and the pulse of the industry ignited something undeniable in her. It was never just a dream—it was destiny.
The Evolution of an Actress
Every role is a new chapter, a fresh challenge, and a journey of self-discovery. Gina approaches each character with deep curiosity, allowing them to shape her just as much as she brings them to life. But there’s one upcoming role that holds a particularly special place in her heart. Without revealing too much, she hints at a side of herself as an actress that the world has yet to see—a new layer, a deeper dimension. And while the anticipation builds, one thing is certain: she’s more than ready to surprise us.
The Icons Who Inspire
Great artists often dream of working with other greats, and Gina is no exception. If she could step into the world of any director, it would undoubtedly be Francis Ford Coppola. His mastery of character, his ability to craft worlds that feel both personal and cinematic, is something she deeply admires. And if she could share the screen with an icon? Audrey Hepburn. A symbol of grace, versatility, and timeless charm, Hepburn's legacy continues to inspire actors across generations, including Gina.
Scent as a Silent Costume
While wardrobe choices are often dictated by the role, Gina has a unique ritual that allows her to immerse herself in her characters in a way few do—through scent. Every character she plays is paired with a specific perfume, an invisible yet powerful accessory that helps her step into their world. It's a detail that adds emotional depth, turning fragrance into an extension of her performance.
Personal Style: The Art of Understated Elegance
Beyond the screen, Gina’s personal style is a reflection of who she is—elegant, timeless, and effortlessly refined. She believes in the power of simplicity, favoring classic pieces that exude sophistication without needing to shout for attention. Just like in acting, she understands that the quietest moments often leave the loudest impact.
On Set Essentials & The Soundtrack of Preparation
A day on set is unpredictable, but Gina never forgets one essential item—her AirPods. Whether she’s revisiting lines, setting the mood with music, or creating a personal bubble amid the chaos, they’re an indispensable part of her process. It’s the little things that keep her centered, ensuring that when the camera rolls, she’s fully present.
Exploring New Horizons: The Allure of Action
Versatility is key in any actor’s journey, and while Gina has embraced a variety of roles, she has her sights set on something new—action. The intensity, the physicality, the adrenaline rush that comes with high-stakes storytelling excites her. It’s a challenge she’s eager to take on, proving once again that she’s unafraid to step outside her comfort zone.
What’s Next: A Year of Unmissable Stories
Gina’s journey is all about pushing boundaries and embracing roles that challenge her in new ways. With three exciting series set to release this year, she continues to evolve, bringing fresh narratives to diverse platforms.
First up is "أنا لست أخي", a high-energy action-drama with bite-sized, two-minute episodes airing on the new platform SCENE. Directed by Randa Alam, written by Mona Tayeh, and executive produced by May Abi Raad, the series delivers fast-paced storytelling in an innovative format.
