<p><strong>You appeared for less than a minute but stole the spotlight. What&rsquo;s your most memorable moment?</strong><br />My dad let me have a lot of ice cream right before the show. Then I walked out on the field, and all the people were singing. I will remember how loud and happy they were.</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/1YtkhS30"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/TDxspCZw/Copy-of-Red-and-Orange-Photocentric-Modern-Newsroom-Instagram-Post-3.png" alt="Copy-of-Red-and-Orange-Photocentric-Modern-Newsroom-Instagram-Post-3" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How did you feel when you learned you would play &ldquo;young Benito&rdquo;?</strong><br />I didn&rsquo;t know who Bad Bunny was before this. My mom told me he was famous, like Ronaldo, Messi, and Salah, and I was like, &ldquo;Whoa! Cool!&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/v6w8GfRh"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/Q3bGRhtk/2.png" alt="2" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What was going through your mind when Bad Bunny handed you the Grammy on stage?</strong><br />I kept thinking about the three things my dad told me: 1) walk to Bad Bunny, 2) smile big, and 3) hold onto the Grammy tight.</p>
<p><strong>Did you keep the Grammy somewhere special?</strong><br />I loved how shiny it was and wanted to take it to school to show my friends. A guy came and said I had to give it back since it was a real one. My mom said she would get me a Grammy I can keep in my room.</p>
<p><strong>Any behind-the-scenes moments with Bad Bunny that stood out?</strong><br />He was very nice during rehearsals and kept telling me to &ldquo;cree en ti&rdquo;&mdash;to believe in yourself.</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/mCRdnT8H"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/qMDhHj5R/3.png" alt="3" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Were you nervous performing in front of thousands and millions at home?</strong><br />I wasn&rsquo;t nervous at all, just happy. I was skipping on the field right before my part. My fake mom and dad were playing with me. It was awesome.</p>
<p><strong>Many say your scene carried a dream-big message. What do you think it represented?</strong><br />For me, it was like the movie Back to the Future. Imagine going back in time and telling little you, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re going to be okay!&rdquo; Sometimes big people forget to dream, so I wanted to remind them.</p>

<p><strong>How does your Egyptian heritage fit into your life?</strong><br />Not yet! My parents went in 2019, before I was born. They made a book about their trip that I like to read. I can&rsquo;t wait to see the pyramids. My family is in Alexandria and Cairo, and they are very proud right now.</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/C3H0PB1L"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/5gRcKTMZ/4.png" alt="4" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What message do you have for Egyptians supporting you?</strong><br />It makes me so happy! I hope to make everyone in Egypt smile. Ma salaam!&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How has your family supported you?</strong><br />My mom and dad say anything is possible if you work hard and believe in yourself. They were with me for 17 days of rehearsals and told me every day I did great. That made me feel brave.</p>

<p><strong>What&rsquo;s next for you at just five years old?</strong><br />Right now I want to play with my friends, but I&rsquo;d love to do more parts that make people feel good.</p>
<p>Lincoln Fox&rsquo;s journey shows that even at five years old, talent, confidence, and a little imagination can create unforgettable moments on a global stage.</p>
