Massoud is an admirer of Egyptian comedy films, in an interview with the BBC, he stated how his Egyptian heritage has inspired him as a comedian, stating: “I grew up watching Egyptian comedy films by the great Egyptian comedians such as Ismail Yassine and Adel Emam. The way they entertain the audience with not only their words but with their body language and facial expressions is totally different from that of the actors here. I played a lot of comedy roles in American productions. My role in Aladdin is also a comedy role. I believe I play comedy roles with a different taste that I learned from our own Egyptian cinema and this makes it appealing in a different way.”

Massoud also takes great inspiration from Robin Williams. In an interview with The Hudsucker, he stated that Robin Williams was the actor the impacted him the most, saying “He was an incredibly well-rounded actor but I grew up on his role in Mrs. Doubtfire. That role by itself is very well -rounded and he goes through an amazing journey in that movie. I think it’s very underrated.”
