Omar Sharif (Arabic:عمر الشريـف, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation:[ˈʕomɑɾˤ eʃʃɪˈɾiːf]; born Michel Dimitri Chalhoub[miˈʃel dɪˈmitɾi ʃælˈhuːb]; 10 April 1932– 10 July 2015) was an Egyptian actor. He began his career in his native country in the 1950s, but is best known for his appearances in both British and American productions. His films included Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Doctor Zhivago (1965), and Funny Girl (1968). He was nominated for an Academy Award. He won three Golden Globe Awards and a César Award.
Sharif, who spoke Arabic, English, Greek, French, Spanish and Italian fluently, was often cast as a foreigner of some sort. He bridled at travel restrictions imposed during the reign of Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, leading to self-exile in Europe. The estrangement this caused led to an amicable divorce from his wife, the iconic Egyptian actress Faten Hamama. He had converted to Islam in order to marry her. He was a lifelong horse racing enthusiast, and at one time ranked among the world's top contract bridge players.
Omar Sharif is a First class and List A cricketer from Bangladesh. A right-handed batsman and occasional wicket-keeper, he appeared for Rajshahi Division in 2000/01, scoring 42 against Biman Bangladesh Airlines.
"Making love? It's a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion -- and purification."
"Picasso: Masterworks From the Museum of Modern Art."
"Fidelity is a virtue which should be frequently proved, but not always."
"I see only defects because I'm not following the scene as it were. I'm not following the other person. It's like the best thing to clarify this is the theater."
"I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost."
"My philosophy is that when I go out of my room, I'm prepared to love everybody I meet, unless they're bad."
"I'm very wary about giving advice. I think it's very dangerous to give advice to people, except if you know them very well."
"He read his mind. He's a strange sort of man, isn't he? It's not just the advice and the wisdom that he has."
"This character in the film, these things that he says which sound like advice and wise things, they are very common for Orientals. It's all the tradition."
"I want to live every moment totally and intensely. Even when I'm giving an interview or talking to people, that's all that I'm thinking about."
"I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it."
"This is one of the factors that also made me very much want to make this film, apart from the fact that I loved it. If the boy hadn't been Jewish and the man hadn't been Muslim, it wouldn't have made any difference to the film. I don't think it's relevant, really."
"I don't know what women are attracted to. I can't tell, but certainly I have no notion of having sex appeal or being seductive in any way."
"I don't know what sex appeal is. I don't think you can have sex appeal knowingly. The people who seduce me personally are the people who seem not to know they're seductive, and not to know they have sex appeal."
"They didn't accept me theory - not a theory, but just a thought I had about this character. I noticed that this man only exists when the boy comes into the grocery."

The Tragic Final Days Of Omar Sharif
Whether you're a serious cinephile or a middling moviegoer, chances are you've seen at least one of the many classic films starring legendary actor Omar Sharif. From 1962's "Lawrence of Arabia'' to 2003's "Monsieur Ibrahim," which led to Sharif winning the French equivalent of an Academy Award, the movie star's extensive and multifaceted filmography spanned decades. Coupled with an obsession with the card game bridge, for which Sharif played in multiple World Bridge Olympiads, it's clear that the Egyptian actor had a truly fascinating life. Sadly, the celebrated Sharif passed away from a heart attack in 2015 following extensive health struggles and a dwindling interest in acting. These were the tragic final days of Omar Sharif.

Omar Sharif's Grandson Is Just As Handsome As He Was
Omar Sharif was undoubtedly one of the most iconic actors that Hollywood has ever seen. The late, great tour de force — who had appeared in such Hollywood classics as "Lawrence of Arabia," "Dr. Zhivago," and the musical "Funny Girl" — may have passed away in 2015, but his legacy lives on not just in his timeless films, but also in the family members that he left behind.
Case in point: His grandson, Omar Sharif Jr. While Omar Sharif has gone down in cinematic history as one of the greats, his grandson is just getting started — although, we've got to admit, he seems to be doing pretty well for himself already. Passionate, talented, and involved in plenty of meaningful causes, it doesn't hurt that Omar Sharif's grandson is just as handsome as he was.
