Mr Egypt 2014 - 2016
The Cairo born and raised heartthrob Zyad Loutfi (Born: 1 October 1994) was named Mr. International Egypt in 2014. He enjoyed a successful run for 3 consecutive years before retiring in order to pursue his legal studies abroad. A very impressive record in the history of the competition as no previous candidate dominated the competition like Loutfi. His retirement came in as a shock for the whole industry said the editor-in-chief of GQ Middle-East. However, the now 25 year old seems to be enjoying life in Europe away from cameras. It is believed that Loutfi has decided to settle in the French capital as he was last spotted in summer 2019 on the French coast of Saint-Tropez. [6]
