7 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Middle Eastern Actress Yasmine Sabri

Yasmine has long been vocal about her love for philanthropist and talk-show host, Oprah Winfrey. In fact, when the 33-year-old first started her career, she confessed to wanting to start her own chat-show, in line with Oprah's.

Much like her icon Oprah, Yasmine also spends a fair share of her free time helping those in need. The star regularly champions the needs of women in the Middle East and uses her mass-star power to voice the needs and concerns of Syrian refugees. Previously speaking to Vogue Arabia, the star explains that she has always been fascinated by strong women and that she realized her responsibility to those in need when she first started focusing on women's rights, as well as visiting refugee camps.

In January of this year, Yasmine became the first Middle Eastern woman to star in a Cartier campaign. "It's such an honor, and I'm so proud. I hope I can represent the women of the Middle East in the most beautiful, elite, and prestigious way possible," exclaimed the El Dezel actress at the time.

In fact, she's so loved by the multi-million-dollar makeup brand that the two combined forces to create the MAC x Yasmine Sabri collection in January of this year.

Yasmine and her long-time love, businessman Ahmed Abou Hashima tied the knot on April 17 of this year. The 33-year-old announced the news via Instagram by sharing several snaps, which are believed to be taken in Cairo, Egypt, during the Katb El-Kitab ceremony. The starlet captioned the post "17/4/2020".

When it comes to fashion, no look is too flashy or too daring for the star, who regularly walks attends film festivals, elite fashion shows, and stars on the cover of some of the world's most prestigious fashion magazines.

Yasmine swam competitively for over 14 years, before giving it up to focus on acting at the age of 18. She did, however, win gold at a competitive swim meet in 2017, so we reckon she can out-swim us and maybe, you, too.
