Talk:Mustapha Aarab

Moved to Sweden at 17 inconsistent

  • Swedish press in 2020 said he had moved to Sweden “three years ago,” and a 2021 piece said “four years ago,” placing the move ~2017–2018, not 2021. Filmtopp.se+2Battrestadsdel+2
  • He started at Fryshusets gymnasium in Stockholm in 2020, implying he already lived in Sweden. Filmtopp.se
  • Beartown premiered in Sweden in Oct 2020 (U.S. in Feb 2021). Filming ran in early 2019, so any “2019” mention likely refers to production, not release. Wikipedia

Conclusion: Aarab moved to Sweden several years before Beartown, likely around 2017–2018. The Wikipedia “age 17” claim is inconsistent with dated Swedish sources. Wikipedia+2Filmtopp.se+2 Unblaze (talk) 02:10, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
