Teacher who starred in new Indiana Jones movie couldn't believe how much he was paid for small role

'Fortune and glory kid, fortune and glory...'

A teacher has revealed the astounding difference in pay from his day job after landing a 'small' role in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

The latest movie once more sees Harrison Ford donning the iconic hat, jacket and whip for a brand new adventure.

This time he is joined by Fleabag star and James Bond writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who takes on the role of his goddaughter.

They seek to thwart the machinations of a former Nazi turned NASA scientist, played by Mads Mikkelsen.

Joining them for the latest instalment is teacher Mohammed Kamel, 46, who landed a part in the movie after being spotted in his role of Ali Al-Fayed in The Crown.

Now, Kamel has shared the shocking difference between his salary for a relatively small role compared to what he gets from his day job as a teacher.

From teaching to rubbing elbows with Harrison Ford. That's quite a CV.

Kamel said: "I'm a guy from very very humble beginnings, and I'm a teacher. What you make in a month teaching, you do that in a week or five days of acting.

"It’s four times or five times as good.

"And you know, I’m in a small role. I’m not one of the big stars."

In the movie he plays 'one of the bad guys' who gets smashed over the head with a champagne bottle by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. How many people can say they've experienced that?

Students at his school immediately wanted selfies with him when they found out he would be starring in the eagerly anticipated film. Kamel works full time as a teacher, but also picks up acting work when he can.

That's quite a role to pick up, even if it's only a small one.

Kamel revealed that when he met Harrison Ford he was a 'really nice guy' who enjoys eating oranges, while Waller-Bridge was down to earth and friendly.

It turned out that Kamel didn't even have to audition for his part in the new movie, as he was headhunted for the role after being spotted in his part in The Crown.

In addition to Ford, John Rhys-Davies is also set to reprise his role as Indy's friend Sallah, while Karen Allen will also reprise the role of Marion Ravenwood, while Toby Jones and Antonio Banderas are among the new cast members.

It is the first film in the series which is not directed by Steven Spielberg or written by George Lucas. The pair are instead credited as executive producers on the movie.
