He was amazingly beautiful. I was a kid when I saw him in Dr.Z & Funny Girl. I would have loved to be Sadie,Sadie, Married Lady. He was that gorgeous.🥰
Very attractive man. His performances were remarkable. I always loved watching him.
I saw Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia he was the most beautiful man on the screen you can't take your eyes off of him
In no time at all his “beauty” became a thing of the past ; the change was really quite dramatic.
When he pushed back his head wrap and looked down from his horse at Peter O ‘Toole even my little girl heart exploded!❤️ when mom asked what was wrong…I didn’t know so I said his horse is pretty. Kids.
I cant understand the Zionist comments here, accusing him of being pro-Hamas for his previous fights for Palestinian independence?
Always thought he was so handsome.
Aside from him being an extremely fine actor, it gives me more respect for Omar Sharif that he took the time to help Alec Guinness in brushing g up on his Arab accent. I admire actors and actresses that take the time to help their fellow actors and actresses in improving themselves in their trade craft of Acting. R.I.P. Omar Sharif.
Omar had a fine reputation fir being generous and kind

People from that part of the world (despite its reputation) are extremely hospitable. If somebody is in need of assistance, they generally feel honour bound to give it.
Loved him in Doctor Zhivago & Funny Girl!
(: Me Too ... ☺
(: I didn't know he was in "Funny Girl" though!!!!! ... ☺
I did too. But my favorite was Funny Girl. I fell in love with him the moment he entered Fanny Brice's (Barbra Streisand's) dressing room.
I could watch Dr. Zviago again, now, even though I’ve already seen it three times
@@annfeeney1662 me too
Absolutely! Two of my favs!
his real name was Michel Dimitri Chalhoub born in Egypt to parents of Lebanese descent: he spoke Arabic,French ,English,Spanish ,Greek and Italian fluently
Pupiiii
That was already covered in this video.
A gorgeous, intelligent, fantastic actor. 💜💜💜
A Cosmopolitan Hottie.
Hmmm I wonder if that is a common Lebanese name... there is a great Lebanese-American actor with a very similar name... Tony Shalhoub.
I gasped when pull off his scarf after riding up on a white hourse.He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. Lordy he was beautiful.
He had terrible teeth I knew his dentist who has since passed away.
@@erickaltenbrunner7815 can't be true. He was an actor and must've had access to the best dental care
@@smitas65 , He was afraid of Dentist we are all different , Mao Tse Tung the dictator of Red China didn’t take baths even tho he had access to clean water. I don’t like going to doctors I call them saw bones.
@@erickaltenbrunner7815 ok....but it still needs to be proved. It's easy for people to write anything on the internet...
He rode a black horse and O’Toole rode the white horse. They both were absolutely beautiful in Lawrence of Arabia They both were wonderful actors . Oh my,there goes my heart….
After watching “Dr. Zhivago”, I realized what a beautiful man he was....
Handsome man
Yuk!😂😄 not my type
@@elisagriffith5411 Sometimes it’s ok to just remain silent rather adding to all the negativity in the world.
Very handsome. I just watch that movie for the first time last week. Loved it
@@elisagriffith5411 What do you mean by "Yuk"? You are yuk.
Yes, and I loved him and Dr. Zhivago with Julie Christie, wasn’t it?!
Oh, yes . His performance in Dr. Zhivago burned through the screen .
@@annfeeney1662 It sure did! Loved that movie and the love story.
Gosh, he was so handsome!
This man had the most beautiful eyes
Totally! Just mesmerizing.
Cierto, tenía los ojos más bellos del Cine. Ahora iluminarán el paraíso.
He was one of the most handsome men who ever lived
Omar was such a handsome man 🌟
And he got to plow Barbara Streisand. I only wonder how he got her to shut up for a while.
@@JMARTIN1947 She was ugly, and can sing, that is it.
@@lisaellis2593 I wouldn't call her ugly, different but not ugly, and she sure can sing.⚘
@@JMARTIN1947
Because she was lucky
Funny Girl, us young girls couldn't have cared less about the scandal. We all wanted to be Barbara and be with that heart throb. The world often makes a bigger deal out of something when the rest of us couldn't give a damn.
Very true!
Lol my mum would agree with you.
I fell in love with him when I was only 14. I'm now 68 and the love is still going strong. Oh, he was so handsome⚘! May he RIP!!
Omar was allowed to go back to Egypt. I am not sure when, but my uncle had drinks with him several times at the Sheraton in Cairo in the 90’s.
I loved him when I was a little girl.
How cool! I believe he actually lived in a hotel in Egypt during the last years of his life.
Thanks for sharing that! Cool!!
right!!!
And made Egyptian movies again in his late life ..he regretted leaving Egypt and faten for Hollywood
Very handsome man. Loved his acting....
Finally an actor that I had a crush that didn't end up gay...🤣🤣🤣
I’ve always been disappointed that so many male actors that are tremendously attractive and sexy are gay . My late brother was gay. And I knew he was just born that way with a gentle spirit .
@@annfeeney1662 it is so unfair right? It should be the bad looking ones...🤣
My best friend is married to an good looking guy. I told him I will do the sex change to marry his husband...🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Just a drunk and gambling addict.
he could have been bisexual
He eluded strength, kindness, and just a quality man. A aura of a quality person engulfed him. Like someone who you wanted to be friends with. Very few men carry that vibrational male splendor.
Very well written....i was only 16 when i saw Dr Shivago at the cinema Omar, Julie Christie, and that film made a lasting impression on me...even to this day the scope and depth of his emotional intelligence, was extraordinary he was very comfortable in his own skin.... all of this was why he was admired by men, and loved by women. I have yet to see anyone like him!
And he wasn’t all buffed up with 6 pack abs. I’m getting real sick of that look.
Exuded.
I like and agree with your comment but I think you meant "exuded".
Will this religious fanaticism ever end? Nice reply by Omar anyway. He was a very intelligent man.
Yes i totally agree with you....on a simple fact i was brought up in a "fanatical" Catholic Church religion, and met some of the meanest people, the Church turned away those in need...it taught me a huge lesson !
Kindness, empathy, and understanding, are the true makings of a REAL human being!!!
@@catherinekeller4230 right and there are many among us, that lack all 5 human traits. Caring, kindness, empathy, compassion & love. We 👀 them or we’ll be deceived. They look human, but that’s just another deception. Sickos everywhere including and mostly the current Guberment in DC
@@cbhaessig No, we got rid of the cruel, vicious & inhuman government in January.
@@SafetySpooon You know NOT of which you speak.
He had that magic something that made me swoon even at age 12. I often wondered why he seemed to disappear from Hollywood. Thank you for another one of your fine detailed and never absurd videos.
Thank you Izzy for your kind words! 🙂
A bit like Rudolph Valentino
He was so handsome and a great actor.
His mother beat him every day. That’s disgusting. Being a parent, I just don’t understand that.
Not everyone who births a child is meant to know what it is to be a good parent. A lot of us have been through domestic abuse
I love your channel!
I was old when I was young. Old movies are my main hobby in life !!!
Thank you so much Carrie! 🙂
Loved his eyes
I was still very young when "Lawrence" came out. All the teachers and other young women around me were gushing about how cute Peter O' Toole was, and waiting for the movie to come out.
Later, they were all walking out of the theaters in a state of shock, saying, "Why didn't they tell us about Omar?!!". When he showed up on that horse, they all forgot about Peter, and suddenly realized why Grandma was always taking about "The Sheik", with Valentino.
A very attractive man!!!!! Great actor, born in beautiful Egypt!!!! 🇬🇧🐩🐩🐩🐩
I have the degrees in Math & Physics ... I would need the amazing good looks now.
He was huge in Argentina, being a visitor often, and owner of several Argentine racing horses and Polo ponies.
What's important is that your wife either present or future thinks you have those amazing good looks. Right
he could say alot with his eyes .... when he looked at Barbra in Funny girl ,you could see how she could fall for him and his wonderful smile
THE seven toothbrushes says it all about the Arnstien character's level of decadence Shariff the actor seal a the deal. Not to mention ' nonchalance of furnishing a bed in restaurants ' ... does for Barbra as the great Fanny Brice.
That's so ridiculous how much Sharif and Streisand had to suffer because of political prejudice!
I fell in love with Omar Sharif when I saw him in Funny Girl.
I had never seen such a handsome man.
Many, many years later I met him at the Haymarket Theatre, he was still so handsome, even better in the flesh, and
such a gentleman, a real gentleman.
We had a nice conversation.
I'm Jewish, and it wouldn't bother me.
R.I.P Omar.💞⚘
Omar Sharif was the perfect actor for the role of Dr. Zhivago. My mother and i have watched that movie many times together and his screen presence and acting abilities were memorable.
I read somewhere that in the movie”Doctor. Shivaji”, his son played the part of him as a child.
I meant Zhivago, not Zhivagi
He had a colorful life. I love his response to the Barbra Streisand controversy. "I never ask a girl I kiss her nationality or religion."
He was so handsome 😍
I HAVE to watch Dr.Zivargo at least once a year. I thought he was fabulous.
Lol snap! Usually around Winter time!
Loved him in Dr Shivago...his eyes spoke volumes!
Super handsome man. I only remember him in two films, Lawrence and Zhivago, but that's enough for a life, I think.
Hi Age of Vintage, how are you going ? This is a brilliant insight into the life of Omar Sharif. His first English-speaking role came when he was cast in Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O'Toole in 1962. He was nominated for an Academy award as best supporting actor, & a Golden globe award for best supporting actor & for New Star of the Year. Sharif was one of the many star's in MGM'S The Yellow Rolls Royce in 1964, playing a Yugoslav patriot, the film was a huge success. Sharif had his first lead role in Genghis Khan in 1965, the 4.5 Million dollar film unfortunately was not a huge box office hit. His next film was perhaps one of his most famous, Dr Zhivago the film was a huge hit & Sharif won The Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion picture Drama. Dr Zhivago remains one of the Top Ten Highest Grossing Films of all time. Sharif was also praised for his portrayal of Nicky Arnstein married to Fanny Brice in Barbra Streisand's first film role in Funny Girl in 1968. Other films included Mayerling in 1968 with Catherine Deneuve, The Tamarind Seed with Julie Andrews in 1974, Juggernaut in 1974, Ashanti in 1979, & The Traveller in 2009. Omar Sharif was an Egyptian actor of International acclaim, known for his dashing good looks & his many iconic roles. Omar Sharif passed away from a heart attack on 10th of July 2015 in Cairo Egypt, he was 83 years old. Thanks Age of Vintage for this wonderful video. Love Love from Australia 🇭🇲🎬📽💛💚💙💕❤💖💋💋💋💋💋
Thank you Ruth for your wonderful comment! 🙂 ❤️
@@AgeOfVintage Thankyou for your reply, always wonderful content & fabulous pictures, thanks again Ruth 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖X XXXXXX
Omar Sharif was spectacular in Doctor Zhivago ..... one of the best acting performances of the century.
Amazing actor and one of the handsomest men ever. Who gives a fig what his background was, we really need to get over ourselves….ALL of us,
I had seen a few interviews with Omar Sharif back in the 70's. He seemed to be a down to earth witty fellow, very good profiles.
He was on Johnny Carson and Joan Collin was as well. If you want to watch her treatment of him watch that. She was either racist or elitist.
I grew up watching his movies as a kid in S/Korea and I vividly remember my parents always commented how handsome he was every time he was on telly. His appearance must be universally appealing.
I have always been partial to Omar Sharif. My mom said my dad looked like him! He certainly looked nothing like the typical Hollywood leading man of the time. I remember Funny Girl as a kid but I was too young to notice the scandalous overtones. I'm glad the film's producers stood by him. I also remember enjoying one of his later films with Julie Andrews, The Tamarind Seed.
It's time for me to revisit some of his work. Thank you for posting
Check out "More Than A Miracle", with Sophia Loren!!! Talk about two gorgeous sexy, sensual people!!!🤗. I absolutely LOVE these Age of Vintage videos!🙏🏾💜
So glad to have found this channel!
I am glad you're here! 🙂
@ honeyrose, Hi this is one of the best channel's on YT, did you know he has another one. AOV2 Cheers Ruth from Australia 🇦🇺📽🎬💕💕
I loved this and handsome Omar. I Didn’t know he had passed. I watched Hidalgo again last week with him and Virgo Mortensen. He was as handsome and appealing as ever!
Omar Shariff was an exceptionally talented and exquisite young man. I’ve seen Dr Zhivago many times, and he’s just complete “ finery” and easy on the eyes . What a gorgeous man , and a soft voice. He had such a wonderful stage presence in his movies .
He played a wonderful part as Saint Peter produced and directed in Italy in his later years.
Yes I saw that movie recently and really enjoyed, I really liked how he played the role of St. Peter. Even in his older age, the charisma was still there.
I remember the Streisand quote as being, "...you should have heard what my Aunt Rose said!". She certainly did NOT say "Mum". Nobody in Brooklyn says "Mum" , except maybe a florist.
“Except maybe a florist” 😂 😂
Greatest Actor and Love him in Funny Girl and Lawrence of Arabia
I fell in love with him when I was a young girl and I am still in love with his dark handsomeness and his smooth ways on the screen.
Omar Sharif was a great actor.
And extremely well mannered.
(: Yes ... He really was!!!!! ... ☺
(: I was so sad when he died!!!!! ... 😢
My husband who was a special affects man working out of Sheperton film studios , worked on location on a few of Omar’s films , they became drinking buddies …. Omar was very much a mans man always had a drinking partner ……
Oh he was a stunning man when he was younger, I never really could see what everyone could see in O'Tool except he was a great actor.
Yes, O'Toole had charisma and a unique presence but Sharif was the full, exquisite, undying package.
Mayerling, who could forget Mayerling?
You're right.
@ Julia Kane, hi Julia I mentioned Mayerling in my comment. Cheers Ruth from Australia 🇭🇲💞
Amazing story and film.
The pictures need to match the dialogue.
Today,it's all just silly!
Can't kiss a person,love a person because of religion!
When he started out he was Christian,only changed to marry,so I feel his heart was still the same,Christian Muslim,it didn't make him who he was!
He was a great actor!
Faten was the love of his life, she died in January 2015 almost 6 months before him. However, he forgot that and kept asking (How's Faten) until he passed.. As an Arab we are truly blessed with incredible actors (even better than Omar) but no one ever lived up to his great Charisma. It's great to know he wasn't only loved by us. And I hope every great Arabic actor/actress get the chance to be recognized by the world.
I loved him as an actor and l don’t mourn the passing of any actor but l did mourn him when he died! He has been missed!
I loved him in Dr. Zhivago. A sad beautiful film. He was so smart , Multilingual, mathematician physicist ,amazing actor.
Funny Girl...opens the door and there is Omar Sharif...I was 22 and deeply smitten. Alas, it was never to be. I got over it.
Thanks AOV💋
Thank you Lana! 🙂
@@AgeOfVintage Yw😊
I was mesmerized by those two deep pools of brown eyes in Dr. Zhivago and Funny Girl and Funny Lady!! Like no other!!
I agree his eyes xx
Funny Lady...?
Indeed. His eyes were georgous xxx
You missed mentioning the great British spy thriller he starred in with Julie Andrews, the Tamarind Seed. Epic.
There is nothing worse than enemies who refuse to hate.
My first time here . I loved the way you narrated that .. We grow up watching Omer in Cairo, such a talented actor..
Takes 10 minutes to get to Streisand
Remember seeing him in some old movie when I was a kid. He was one of the most beautiful men God ever made.
I will never forget forget seeing him appear in Lawrence of Arabia. He was stunning. I loved Funny Girl so much that I was to busy crying to notice that I'd left my fur hat in the cinema. I loved his voice. Recently I saw a documentary about him in which his son was interviewed. It was lovely to watch him. So thanks so much Dear Age of Vintage. I will be watching you from now on!
Thanks for this excellent look at Omar Sharif, always enjoyed his acting and you couldn't mistake his voice. Thought he was great in Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, didn't know he had a fling with Barbara Streisand but hey that was Hollywood. Really enjoyed your fantastic video on one of my favourite actors much appreciated. Brenton.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
(: I saw him in both of those too!!!!! ... ☺
Thanks Brenton, I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for suggesting! 🙂
@@AgeOfVintage Thanks for your reply, fantastic post.
I met Omar Sharrif long long time ago ,he was making a movie in Greece l think , the Tourism Organization hired me to take him on an Athens by night tour because l speak French he was really very good looking and a real gentleman he told me his name was Michel Chaloub he was Christian Catholic Maronite and had no hate to other religions , was nice to listen to you and bring back memories from a long long long time ago !
Great! thank you for that!
Thank you Janet! 🙂
He was absolutely gorgeous
I just loved his movie especially the one he was in Dr I can't spell the name but it was a classic & I watched it many times 💝💞💚💙💗💝
(: "Dr. Zhivago" ... ☺
(: That's the one I like too!!!!! ... ☺
He was so very dashing. I loved him in Dr. Zhivago. His performance was brilliant. Epic movie, a great sweeping drama. An added bonus is that if you watch it during the summer, it cools you off. Seriously.
That gap in The teeth, to die for. Very handsome and intriguing guy. ❤️
In Lawrence of Arabia I remember Omar riding in on a white horse. That image seems to get our female hearts throbbing. A camel? Not so much.
I loved Omar Sharif in every film I ever saw him in... He possessed more than extremely good looks and intelligence-though he had both in abundance. He was an unequivocally masculine presence, which made him irresistible on a visceral level (at least to this female), but also seemed lit from within: He had a lightness of being that shone through on the screen, and gave depth to his acting. I wish I could recall the title of the last film I saw him in, but I think it was French. He was an old man, and as charismatic as ever! His character was a Muslim named Ibrahim, who befriended a Jewish boy, who looked up to him as a surrogate father. His character dies in the film, and I found it so moving, so beautifully played... I’m still sorry that he’s no longer with us, but (especially for a smoker) he had a good run! RIP Michel/Omar: Your work here is done, and we will always love you.
I remember Omar Shariff in Funny Girl and Funny Lady. That movie made me love Barbara Streisand and I had the biggest crush on Shariff. He was fabulous in that movie. I vaguely remember him in Laurence of Arabia. mostly, it's the scene of him on his horse looking devastatingly handsome dressed in his desert garb.
What is it about actors and acting that makes them so succeptible to having affairs? is it all the emotion they have to conjure up for the movies? Or is it that it's already in their character makeup to be unfaithful? Which is first, the trait or the environment?
Ah well, r.i.p; Shariff. You were a legend in your time.
I was in love with Omar Shariff when the movie came out!!!
Funny Girl
Too much was made of the romance in Doctor Zhivago....
Omar Shariff MADE that movie ...he REALLY embodied the Yuri of the book...SO NOBLE and high intentioned to the point of naivete'...desperately trying to do the right thing ..in a HORRIBLE time in history
In Dr. Z when there is a human slaughter via soldiers….the audience witnesses the slaughter through Omar’s facial expressions….this is when I fell in love with Omar.
He was an attractive man. Women loved Him. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
He was talented and gorgeous. I loved the part in Funny Girl right after the elopment when she sang "To tell the truth, it hurt my pride. The groom was prettier than the bride." Oh yeah. Loved him and I'm glad that we have his body of work to enjoy even though he is gone. Thanks for this very interesting video.
Excellent video!
Did you know he did a National Geographic special Mysteries of Egypt in the late ‘90s? It was very enjoyable.
I will never ever forget Omar Sheriffs performance in the evergreen movie Dr Zhivago
I LOVED him in Funny Girl… he was GORGEOUS!!!! 😍😍😍
I was completely and totally in love with this man as a young woman. He looked so unwell as he aged. Thank, you for letting me know what happened to my obsession.
I heard him claim, in an old tv interview, that he really wasn't that good looking; it was just the clothes. Can you imagine? He wasn't aware of his own beauty/sexiness.
Like Omar, Audrey Hepburn would diss her own looks, too, as did Sophia Loren. Classy, humble. But Tony Curtis, in his as-told-to book, kept rubbing it in how gorgeous he was. Bad public relations, I think.
My grandmother once played in a bridge tournament where he played in San Francisco. She said he was charming.
Love your reading I suppose it is of or about these different stars, here specifically Omar Sharif! Love your accent also! And I’m assuming that you wrote what you’re reading and it is very good… sad to hear about Omar Sharif’s life in a way… But sounds like there were happy times, too!!! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for your comment! 🙂 I hope you will enjoy my other videos too!
You missed Hedalgo.
He was so handsome
How sad that folks should have a say in who you are or not ALLOWED TO LOVE. There was a great chemistry and affection between Sharif and Streisand, on and off screen back in the day,,....... and their 'LOVE FOR EACH OTHER' should've been NOBODY'S business but THEIR OWN. RIP Omar Sharif.
Thank you soooooooooo much for these I LOVE them! You put in soooooo much work into creating each one and I am very grateful!
Just re-watched Dr. Zhivago over the weekend--Sharif was gorgeous!!!
I once saw him sitting alone in a shadowy corner of the Madison Hotel in DC.
I did not appreciate his unrivalled sexiness until I matured a bit. Lucky Streisand!!
Well well I think I think a few men and I think that is a several men tasted some stressing I mean I think that she was on that casting-couch a few times with her with her legs spread
@@allendixon1044 what a disgusting thing to say
Loved him since I was a child!
Isn't this the height of nonchalance,
Furnishing a bed in restaurants.
Well a bit of dinner never hurt,
But guess who is gonna be dessert!
I love these lyrics and Barbra Streisand sang them so perfectly! 🤣
Yes..lol..
Terrific documentation on Omar Sharif's life...well lived and well loved by the public, who enjoyed all of his movies. He was an important part of the best actors in Hollywood ! Nice job.
