I wrote – Manal al-Jawushi:

Photography – Ahmed Trana:

"The best of honor is not enough." "The coffin is an elephant", "The prayer of the prophet is what is best"; the Arab public memorized it by heart in the memory of Arab cinema, beloved by the public and famous for presenting perverse roles that distinguished him from other members of his generation. Despite his good mood and shyness in his normal life, star Tawfiq al-Dukan is one of the most outstanding stars who have excelled in roles that require unique artistic abilities and talent.

Masrawy met Advisor Madi Tawfiq Aldqn, the eldest son of the deceased star, and we had this meeting with him:

The beginning .. What is the story of "lost instead of" in Tawfik Duck's life?

"My grandfather had a son who called him Tawfiq and was closely associated with him, but he left in mysterious circumstances at the age of three." It means a very ordinary child, without eye or need to sleep suddenly. My grandfather was very sad and my grandmother was pregnant with my father. The grandfather did not extract the death certificate of his deceased son, who was three years older than my father. When my father was born, my grandfather called him Tawfiq and did not have a birth certificate. "I did not mean it." He always said, "I'm lost."

What is his real birthday?

His real date of birth was May 3, 1923, whereas in the official document of May 3, 1920, he was his older brother "5 Girls and 3 Boys".

Before joining art .. Tawfik, the dancer, was he already a sports hero?

Indeed, my father was a multi-talented artist: in the "book" of the village of Minya governorate, he saved portions of the Qur'an and had a distinctive voice in the recitation, then he became a famous athlete in our province and a boxing hero.

My dad played at Menia Club and Al Ahly and Zamalek beat him. It was a "Zamalekawi". He was a footballer. He loved football a lot. Captain Abergela from Kam Kamna met me and met your father. He was a footballer. Representation at school.

Tawfiq Aldqn had a position that prevented him from joining Zamalek?

The Zamalek club was at the time the King Farouk club and was an honor for all who play in the club to join the military academy for 6 months and to graduate to a club officer. In order to join the military college, he had to shave the hair "Zero". My father loved his hair and was very proud of him. He therefore refused to join the King's Club and joined the Railway Club at the time.

The artist Rohia Khalid was the reason for the entry of your father's art. How?

My dad always said that the spirituality of his colleague and mentor Khalid was simultaneous: one day, Menia Sports Club held its annual concert, which included sports paragraphs and the theatrical work of one of the main teams from Cairo, and which animated today the activity of the spiritual group Khalid and Fotouh.

Before the beginning of the ceremony, Abdul Aziz Khalil, the hero of the work, was absent from the conditions of his illness and they were looking for an alternative to Khalil. During their search, my father had ended his match against Menia's team and, as he was leaving, he was surprised by a woman who shouted, "He's holding it." They ask him to represent the role in front of Khaled's mind.

Then my father sat in a small room with a window and he wanted at the time a door to go out of the street with great shame. Above, he was playing in front of his friends and did not imagine standing on the stage in front of a crowd of spectators. He entered "spirituality" and thanked him for the role. Approval, maintenance of the role and stop on stage in front of all this public.

How did the audience first see him on stage?

After the end of my father to provide the role, which incidentally, the role of evil, people have continued to applaud for a long time, and felt that this applause had a different taste than the ball, and described the most beautiful , that he was addressing his soul and his soul and that he had to devote himself to the representation Khaled and Fattouh leave Minya and go to Cairo to join the Institute of comedy, especially that it predicts that he will become a star.

My father was then in pursuit of Minya and, even to get to Cairo, he should have looked for someone who works in Cairo and wants to settle in Minya, where he can convince his father to move to Cairo while working at the same time. With these specifications and accepted the question, as if it was a written scenario to become a cockroach reconciliation star, then settled in Cairo and worked in the morning and studied at the Institute at night .

Was there a clash between your father and your grandfather after his desire to act?

The emergence of my religious grandfather and the community's perspective at the time of the representative and the profession of acting as a whole was an obstacle between my father and his desire to act, which was only possible After the emergence of major theater groups such as George White, Youssef Wehbe and Zaki Tulaimat. And I saw the "sanctification" of Europe for the artist, and these things were absent from the collective consciousness of Egypt. To avoid this confrontation, my father hid my grandfather at his professional representation, then died and decided to transfer my parents to Cairo.
