Following his success at the Globo d’Oro, the versatile actor enters 2026 as a major force in global cinema, starring in projects by Julian Schnabel and Kevin Costner.


NEW YORK - ROME (January 22, 2026) – In the fast-evolving landscape of global cinema, few actors embody the spirit of internationalism as powerfully as Mohamed Zouaoui. Already a household name in Italy and a recipient of the prestigious Globo d’Oro (the Italian Golden Globe), Zouaoui is now making a definitive leap into the American and global markets. With a career spanning 62 professional credits, Zouaoui’s 2026 season is a landmark. He is currently a key figure in Julian Schnabel’s upcoming masterpiece, "In the Hand of Dante," working alongside cinematic titans like Al Pacino and Oscar Isaac. This performance, coupled with his role as Joachim in the ambitious production "The First Christmas" presented by Kevin Costner, marks his official entry into the Hollywood elite.

Zouaoui’s presence is about cultural impact. Just four days ago, on January 18, 2026, he was a guest of honor at a high-profile RAI institutional event in Rome, further cementing his role as a "Cultural Bridge" between the Arab world and Europe. As Italy gears up for the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the actor’s journey reflects a new era of international excellence. From a secret Netflix project to the red carpets of the world, Mohamed Zouaoui is the face of a borderless cinema.
