Mohammed Abuhajaj is a teen actor who 6 years ago, together with his family, moved from Dubai to Sweden. Having to learn a foreign language, acclimate to a new society and leave his support system and family at home all at the age of 11 was, needless to say, the hardest thing he’s ever done. With a passion for learning and exploring, he quickly found his new self in this new country.
He brings this same passion to improve and to grow, into everything that he does and it has helped him tremendously as an actor as he has a sea of experiences and stories to draw from.
Mohammed started acting in school plays and smaller productions in Dubai when he was a child. After moving to Sweden, and having learned the language, he jumped back into the business with a refreshed and goal-oriented mind. His mindset and passion for the business and acting led him to book his first leading role in an upcoming short film being filmed in the spring of 2022.
He is also active in his local community theatre where he has been taking weekly classes for the past two years.
Mohammed speaks 3 languages fluently; English, Arabic and Swedish.
