Amir El-Masry was seen for the first time on the set of new biopic Giant on Tuesday.
Giant will tell the compelling true-life story of British-Yemeni boxer and his rags to riches ascent in the tough working-class streets of Sheffield and his discovery by Brendan, himself a steel industry worker turned boxing trainer. AGC Studios Chairman and CEO Stuart Ford said in a statement: 'Since commissioning Rowan to write the brilliant screenplay for 'Giant' several years ago, we've been passionate about bringing this extraordinary story to the big screen. 'Amir and Pierce will make a powerful lead duo and it's exciting that Zygi and his team at True Brit, with their outstanding career track record in launching the best of British film to audiences, believe as fervently as we do in 'Giant's cinematic potential.'
