Mohammed Jaber: The Rukada is a decoration... and take the ladder step by step
Veteran actor Mohamed Jaber, widely known for his character “Al-Eidroussi,” offered advice to young artists in the entertainment industry, urging them not to rush toward fame. He emphasized that “patience is a virtue” and that they should climb the ladder “step by step” to achieve their goals.
Speaking as a guest on the program “Al-Anbaa Meeting,” hosted by colleague Sara Al-Khudairy, Jaber said he enjoys working with young talent and supports their projects, noting that among them are creative individuals. However, he expressed his hope that they would learn from the experiences and career paths of the previous generation, as reaching stardom and professionalism requires time and gradual progression.
He added, “I wish they would study our career trajectory and learn from it, because one cannot become a giant overnight.”
Jaber recalled his artistic beginnings at Al-Muthanna School, acknowledging the positive influence of artists Mohamed Al-Nashmi and Aqab Al-Khatib, who sparked his passion for acting. He described himself during that period as a “clever little devil” at school and noted that he relied on himself to develop his talent.
He also spoke about his meeting with theatrical director Zaki Talamah, describing it as one of the unforgettable moments in his life, leading up to the true breakthrough of his character “Al-Eidroussi,” which became closely associated with him and introduced him to audiences in Kuwait and the Gulf region.
