Beautiful Omar Sharif! I shall always remember his brilliant acting and wise insights.

[@christineterry3079]

Really enjoyed listening to him omar Sharif, very clever intellectual man he speaks up and not affraid to speak , i wounder why he didnt meet someone else share his life with as he got older shame really he had so much life and spirit for life to end up on your own is really sad i think and is lonley even though he was so independent interview was good too watch ..

[@christinelaw8606]

I loved Omar so much.. Classy person and Legend...❤️❤️🙏🙏🌈🌈😘😘..God Bless you❣️❣️

[@user-sy7ko7ru4r]

One of my favorite actors, now more so than ever after watching this interview.

[@nithianandhannaidoo7130]

I always admired Omar Sharif.He was one of the best character actors ever.He had such a calm natural presence about him and he imparts so much wisdom.I could watch his films over and over.He was immensely talented.❤

[@MrFlashpacker]

Wonderful interview, words of wisdom. Brilliant actor and world's best Bridge player. Ali and Doctor Zhivago character was made immortal by him RIP

[@ZahidMufeem]

Wonderful actor and humble person . Very clear in thoughts. RIP.

[@honeym210]

Mayerling.. he was great. Great advice when you're old live in the moment!

[@danieljakubik3428]

When one becomes old it's best to focus on the now. Not look back on the past. Wise words.

[@Tyrfingr]

Perhaps one of the most sensible actors out there, then again he is from a more sensible generation.

[@redatolba9996]

RIP Omar Sharif! such a unique person , well rounded and culturally aware

[@sunofgod480]

This great yet humble man is enjoying eternal paradise which he richly deserves. If more people were like, and thought more like him, earth would also be more like paradise

[@SuperArkleo]

I am surprised that such handsome man as Omar Sharif is living by himself. I am surprised that he is much -much clever than the individuals he was portraying in his movies. I agree on every point said with this great man.

[@nelgameel4279]

He chose to live alone because he fell in love only once in his life and that was with his ex-wife ,Faten Hamama, whom he converted to Islam to be able to marry. He is not only a handsome but also very Loving and faithful. I love how frank he is, I do respect that a lot.

[@zebakhan-akhtar6552]

Nihal ElGameel see

[@maxamon906]

I don't think it's surprising that he is incredibly intelligent, given the fact that he spoke 6 languages and was one of the world's greatest bridge players.

[@azad7310]

He lived a truly fulfilled life. What a class act! RIP Yuri.

[@nikibirdflight]

What a great guy ! he is so right, about everything. Fascinating and so honest. Sorry to hear he has died. It makes me sad but yet, he has to be in some fabulous place, enjoying every experience in the spiritual world.

[@millieguerra3446]

Lina Nicolia He died of a heart attack the same way Dr Zhivago died.

[@achiarchili5784]

@krikor jarkassian first of all, he was Jewish not Christian, and second : shut the fuck up, it was the worst comment I've ever read in my life

[@a.alzubaidi2461]

Wonderful man and loved the changes in his life that made him 'authentic' in his lifestyle. And love that he keeps working. Love also that he was "teachable",plus honesty until now and believe in his "hour to hour" enjoying life. I believe my life is true to self too. EYEAKE

Very nice guy and also wise. Great interview!

[@nadiasubri7426]

We still love him in Egypt in Arabic movies rather than English (though it was English that made him international) Arabic is his native tongue, and he has his own classics in the Egyptian cinema.

[@lanaofficiel4042]

I agree with you. Omar Sharif's movies in Arabic were much better than his Western movies. He starred in a lot of classic Egyptian films.

[@myjeepzia]

Love listening him very interesting, great artist. Thanks for sharing

[@ziadhassan5536]

Love you Omar greeting from Saudi Arabia

[@ZulfiqarAli-zf9rb]

What A true satisfied person,may Allah bless him.

[@Samalabear]

It's seems like he found God outside of religion, and that's really the best way. Once you separate God from religion it really gets great. There is such freedom. Omar Sharif was really, really special, and it's just amazing how life worked out. What a gift was his portrayal of Zhivago to the world. I once heard him say in an interview that Zhivago was the most perfect person he ever met. I know what he meant, because when I watch Zhivago I see a person who can still find something beautiful in the midst of such horror, and he never lost his humanity.

[@watchgoose]

Then Jesus would have to be a liar or a lunatic, for declaring (and going to His death for it) that 'I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by me."

[@konkoni4]

Who was the the way the truth and the life and the only way you can connect to God in the time of Moses?

[@madambutterfly7513]

Samalabear - you can’t separate God from religion, what an absurd thing to say - God IS religion

[@kirijocafe7066]

watchgoose yes he was a lunatic. Any man who claims to be a god or says do as I say or burn in hell is a liar and a charlatan. Give me proof not a silly whim if you expect me to believe in these absolutes

[@nrs6956]

Great actor very missed. Thank you OS for being you!

All the fame talent power and beauty and at the end he was alone. Very humbling.

Thanks you sir l agreed every thing you said.R.I.P.

[@l.plantagenet]

I've watched several interviews with Mr Sharif and everyone has something good to say about him. I watched Doctor Zhivago this morning. Love that movie and I also love Lawrence of Arabia. T. E. Lawrence in certain ways he looked like Peter O'Toole. I thought he was so beautiful in that movie. His youth, his gorgeous blonde hair and blue eyes. Two handsome men in the movie.

I am a non-native speaker English teacher in London. I have to admit that Omar's English is immaculate!

[@MsMesem]

The greatest ambassador for Egypt. He is the man; sauve, charming, elegant and exotic!

[@Gurnavemerno]

Omar Sharif and the best of his generation have a dignity about them that you just don't see in younger people.

[@aviavi4717]

Very true.

[@madambutterfly7513]

Gurnavemerno - dignity & respect are taught by parents, but if they’re lacking in these qualities, their children won’t have them. Many parents are just plain lazy, pot heads or just don’t give a damn

[@millieguerra3446]

I watched Dr Zhivago thousands of times. ❤️ Omar Sharif.

[@noodykhalil5163]

Egyptian and proud

[@FlamePhD]

As Omar Sharif said: everyone is entitled to their opinion, beliefs and religion. That is also my opinion. It is destructive to vilify those who don't share your opinion; that is also my opinion.

[@kameelfarag1981]

[@Simply_Simple_AMR]

Well said ✨❤️💯👍🏽

[@njuham]

A very cultured man, I saw him once on Baker street holding court in one of those chess and bridge shops.

[@WillScarlet16]

Didn't he and Barbra prove 44 years ago that Arabs and Jews could get along quite well?

[@bountyhunter3996]

that is true .

[@mariaalano3077]

in my opinion, there's nothing between him and barbra. it was tabloid, for the benefit of the film. He begun to get attracted to Barbara because of her talent and personality, but unrequited, as.he said.

[@sedayehneda]

One and only Omar Sharif💙💙💙 May he rest in peace🍃🍃🍃💙🍃

[@GeorgiaIsOnMyMind]

Funny thing is he had this same wit in all the languages he spoke.

[@KuyaManzano]

Best actors for me are those playing very intense characters that are different from themselves. Agree?

[@victoriahull8852]

What great eyes even at this age

[@LadyOaksNZ]

Always suspected that behind the enormous charm of this handsome, charismatic man that he would be also a very intelligent, humble, and wise man. RIP Sir ❤❤💯

I miss you so much the prince Omar miss you so much

[@fahmidaislam1854]

A legend!

[@pz3j]

The Last Valley is an excellent film dealing with religion and arguably the best film Sharif ever made.

[@WolfRoss]

I enjoy his movies. We just call an ambulance in an emergency. I enjoy living alone now that I am older. The first 50 years of my life I was always with other people.

[@kjsh987]

he is so awesome but underrated.what a gentleman

[@Judith1948]

Remember.He Gave Up Some Wonderful Acting and Movies......He's a Brilliant Actor.
