Screenwriter Amr Mahmoud Yassin published, on his official Facebook page, a video clip of his father, the late star Mahmoud Yassin, which was filmed inside his home, a full year before his death, as it was the last video in which the late star appeared.

Amr Mahmoud Yassin, commenting on the video, said: “In 2019, a year before the father’s death, a ridiculous rumor was spread, which was that the father was in the hospital and that his family had left him there and did not care about him.”

He added: "The rumor was strong and some social media pages were using it in order to achieve the highest views. At that time, we filmed this video to publish it and reassure the public about my father's health condition, but we backed down from publishing it, and we found no reason to do so, so as not to give this radiation and its promoters any value. We contented ourselves with publishing a picture of him with his grandson Mahmoud, but on the sixth anniversary of his death, I saw that it was possible to display the last message from my father to his fans and lovers."

It is noteworthy that the artist Mahmoud Yassin was born in the city of Port Said in 1941, and obtained a bachelor’s degree in law from Ain Shams University in 1964. He worked as a lawyer at the beginning of his professional life, then he joined the National Theater after submitting his tests and refusing to appoint the workforce for him in Port Said.

During the nineties of the twentieth century and the beginning of the new millennium, his work on television increased significantly, although he did not move away from cinema completely, and his television works include “Abu Hanifa Al-Numan,” “Against the Current,” “Souq Al-Asr,” and “Disobedience.”

Mahmoud Yassin died on October 14, 2020, after suffering a severe health crisis. He left our world, leaving behind a huge artistic wealth of immortal films, series, and plays.
