His contributions to the stage and film industries through addressing social and political issues in film and television earned him a cult following and a worldwide reputation that made him one of the most influential arab public figures in the 80’s and 90’s. Adel Imam is considered by a huge mass of cult followers as a cultural icon in the history of modern Egypt.
In January 2000, the United Nations appointed Emam as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR.
