  • Thanks Sam heard about this on streisand archives

  • So if your born in America..you're not American? 

  • "Pink Velvet Jail"

  • He is not Egyptian. He is half Syrian and half Lebanese. He was only born in Egypt.

  • man he's handsome. y would he want 2 do streisand when he was married 2 a beuatiful woman like Faten Hamama?

  • He is sooooo hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh my goodness, Omar you are beautiful and wonderful in this movie. This classic movie is amazing, and you and Barbra clearly have undeniable chemistry here! You are still sooooo handsome and 'whoa baby!'. :) Kisses and hugs to you!!!

  • لما يكون مع فاتن حمامه احلى شيء

  • Well, Egyptian or Lebanese, Sharif admitted he fell in love with Streisand on one of those afternoon talk shows in the 1970s. He looked at her, he said, and thought she wasn't good looking enough to play a leading lady. Fell in love shortly thereafter. I think you can see it, now and then, in the movie. By some accounts, Sharif and Streisand had an affair. If true, she would have been married to the comic actor Elliot Gould at the time, I think.

  • Im here ladies, thank you for the comments. Im honoured

  • @omarsharif2222 looool that was FUNNY!

  • Omar. the Egyptian Pride :) I love you Omar :)

  • The Man of My Dreams

  • hmmm

    Muslim man and jewish girl... great combination:)

  • @fareed7865 Funny that you mention that because I have the album --real album, not cd ----of the soundtrack. The liner notes talk abou how contraversial their love scenes were. Barbra was said to have joked, "you think Cairo was upset--you should have seen the letter I got from my Aunt Rose!" Funny line, true or not, I don't know.

  • @fareed7865 dream on

  • The egyption are great everywhere

  • Thank you for this video , did he sing this song in funny girl ? his voice is so romantic, he should sing more. Agree ?

  • He didn't sing this in the movie, no. It is romantic!

  • Adore Omar ElSherif.. You wanna see how handsome he is watch his Egyptian movies when he was younger

  • in reading comments posted prior it's a bit disheartening to see that people are so adamantly to be THIS and not THAT. as far as the extent of ..of population mixing within the middle east and North Africa, I cannot say too much as I do not know if it ever reached the extent it does in the US, North, Central, and South Americas. Do people still see each other as WE and THEY so much that over centuries they still do not mix often even up to today?

  • and also over thousands of yrs populations mixed regardless of what many people want to believe.. yes there are still indigenous people and maybe not just indigenous but very homogenous socities that dont mix with other groups even very close around them but is this so common in the "arab world"? europeans have mixed and mixed for thousands of yrs..w/ pockets of indigenous and homogenous socities/grps..

  • these are the genetic facts people.. why be so divisive with each other .. i am not trying to undermine the fact that omar Sharif is Egyptian and not Lebanese etc etc.. but some here are almost insulted at the thought of him being something "Other"..I am a mish mash of ethnicities: Father is Finnish, mum is Irish and Nova scotian (another mix) and guess what?? it aint so bad after all not being ONLY Irish or ONLY Finnish.. c'mon. and im uncomfy w/ the word "icon" pertaining to a person..

  • it's unbelievable how handsome omar is.

  • Omar sharif is the best Egyptian actor at all

  • @7ouda100 He is a world artist adored all over the world. Fidel, India.

  • Omar Shariff is the best looking arab...I'll vouch for that.

  • Syria and Lebanon is in the middle east and when I was in

    Beirut the people there considered themselves arab.

  • syria is an arab and some Lebanese are arab ,but most Lebanese are not arabs ...............

  • I have many Lebanese friends and they consider themselves

    arab....that goes for the christian and moslems. If they are not

    arabs, what are they considered then? I'd like to know. In

    Egypt some of the people consider themselves North African

    descent,,,some, arab.

  • every one have the freedom to consider them selves the way they feel its right ,and i respect that I'm Lebanese and I'm 100%Lebanese .when the muslim arabs invaded north Africa,iraq,jordan,Syria,but couldn't reach all Lebanon,especially the high mountains who were all Christians so they remain Christians Lebanese,whom are the descendant from the Phoenicians ,the formal name of Lebanon as written in the passports is PEPUBLIQUE LIBANAISE or republic of Lebanon NOT republic Arabia of Lebanon

  • So what is Omar Sharif? A muslim arab....muslim lebanese...

    or a christian lebanese??? Oh yes, there are coptic christians in Egypt too...could he be that???

  • hi is egyptian muslim

  • No body Cares about what the religion of Omar El-Sharif Cause the Main Thing for us that he's EGYPTIAN but to answer your Question he's a Muslim,and watch This interview for him with the EGYPTIAN Tv Presenter "Lamis El -Hadidi"he Confirmed that he's a Muslim and refuted all the Rumours that the People say about Him

    watch?v=mTSHUgLr4Js

  • actually he has stated he is an agnostic.

  • he was raised a catholic and was a maronite catholic. His real name is Michael Demitri Shalhoub. His father was christian lebanese and his mom syrian christian, in 1955 he converted to islam in order to marry faten hamama.

  • In a 4 September 2009 television program on Nile Cinema, Omar El Sharif specifically denied published claims that his family had originated in Lebanon as often reported, and affirmed that his parents and all his grandparents were born in Egypt. He recalled spending time in his childhood in his maternal grandparents' home in Tanta, Egypt. He was very attached to his grandmother, 'Abla Abdallah, who lived for more than 100 years.

  • sorry to dissapoint you but Shalhoub is a maronite christian surname. Hardly surprising his grandmother lived in Egypt too seeing his parents moved there to open a lumber business. if this is any condolence to you Omar/Michael was born in Egypt.

  • It's NOT our guilt that some people in the Middle east have similarity with our EGYPTIAN Names, It's really Naive and unlogic reason to Claim the Blood and the genes of Others just Cause Their Names!! Cause "shalhoub" it's from the Famous Alexandrinoes Families,we have also in Alexandria "Naoum,Khoury,Dagher" Family and also "Al-Hennawy"Family but we the EGYPTIANS don't run to Claim the syrian singer "Mayada Al-Hennawy"!

  • Cause we the EGYPTIANS have Pride and diginity unlike the others who try to Hijack our Great EGYPTIAN icons and steal our EGYPTIAN Pride by claiming them with no proof.

    and you don't need to apologize Cause you actually didn't disappoint Me,on the contrary that Makes me so Proud every Day For being EGYPTIAN Cause always the People with Great Hertiage like us the EGYPTIANS and with Great EGYPTIAN icons like "Omar El-sharif" many People try to attach them selves with us!

  • give it a break I am tired of getting msgs you post.

  • omar el sherif's orignal name is michelle chalhoub, he's lebanese

    get your shit right

    I AM EGYPTIAN too by the way, but i hate ppl who bullshit like you saying that we're so great, stop the dellusional crap

  • What a low level Vulgar Person Came from Swamp Talk with this Nasty Crappy Way..We the EGYPTIANS are Civilized and Well Mannered People NOT Barbarian like u.you are NOT EGYPTIAN and go to Play your Dirty games With one have LOW IQ like you..always the ROOTLESS People with no Honour with no Diginity love to Hijack the Glory of others..So What if his name Was Michel is that make him non EGYPTIAN What a lame Excuse..Omar El-Sharif is PROUD ALEXANDRIAN EGYPTIAN 100%

  • go fuck yourself you tramp

  • Bravo..I'm glad that you Spew This Dirt like your Level Cause if any one has a Brain he will realize how you are a Pathetic lair and unciviliced Barbarian animal with no origin come to Play the role of EGYPTIAN and come to attack me with your Nasty mouth Cause i'm Proud EGYPTIAN and Proud with Great EGYPTIAN Icon like Omar El-sharif that a rootless like you Want to hijack our EGYPTIAN Glory with your lies..i told you go to play your Nasty games with one Nasty like you!

  • PS:it supposed this Video for the Classy People who Love to Enjoy the Classy Art of the Great EGYPTIAN legend "Omar El-Sharif" Not for People like your Kind who Came From 7awary!

  • @theriverQueen01 ya benty roo7y el3aby ma3 el nass ely adek ya benty

    yalla hesh heheh

  • Comment removed

  • Actually, his real name is Michael Chalhoub and although he is Egyptian by birth, he is of mixed Lebanese/Syrian ancestry. He was raised a Roman Catholic, but converted to Islam to marry an Egyptian actress in the mid-50's.

  • @allie2026 actually no. i don't know where you got that bullshit from. he even said himself that he is Egyptian and only Egyptian by ancestry. he converted to islam full stop. not just to marry faten hamama. look it up.

  • The only Fact the One who disappointed all those People and embarrassing them Cause their Pointless Rumours is Omar him self in all of his interviews,and btw my Grandfather god bless his soul was knew them and they are EGYPTIANS 100% cause his business was in the Furniture and Omar's Father was had a Timber Factory in Famous and oldest Area in Alexandria called "Al-Attarin".

  • Omar el Sharif was very upset in the interview and wondering why the people say about him this pointless Claims..so sorry cause omar disappointed your Fantasy Dreams cause soon i will upload this programme its names "El Goozor" means the roots to refute all the rumours that people said about our Great EGYPTIAN icon "Omar El-Sharif"

    ps:the religion or the belief of any human being has nothing to do with his nationality or his ethinc!

  • Thank you, you answered my question to the fullest. It doesn't

    matter what religion you are, we are all God's children....only

    difference we choose to honor him in our own way.

  • We the EGYPTIANS are NOT Arabs and There's NO REAL EGYPTIAN will Consider him self an Arab!and Every One Knows Very Well This FACT,all the D.N.A,Genetics and Studies Confirmed that the Modern EGYPTIANS have the Same D.N.A of Ancinet EGYPTIANS..

  • I travel to Egypt every year, sometimes two or three times a

    year and was told by many egyptians that they are not arabs, but north africans, then why do they speak arabic??? And

    then sometimes I am told by egyptians that they are arabs....

  • @2egypt please stop spreading crap like that

    y is it every time i go to an arab related video someone HAS to make a dumb un-true comment like "blah blah r not arabs but actually they're bla bla"

    egyptians r arabs,, distinct arabs for their famous arabic dialect and their culture,, they are scholars in arabic language and islamic releigon among others

    they might hv mixed race or ancestors but who doesn't, i hv persian ancestry but am arab

    please, i'm arabic so i know my nation very well

  • @bawain I do not say it, these comments were made to me by people in Egypt. There are many people in Egypt who consider themselves as North Africans, not arabs...and if you don't like it, talk to them about it. You tell me you have Persian ancestry...don't you mean Iranian ancestry? I don't see Persia on the world map but I do see Iran. Are you ashamed or embarrassed to be iranian? I was told by Arabs that Arabs are Arabians and Iranians are not Persians....so dick it out with them.

  • @2egypt shows how stupid u r,, i said ANCESTRY, back then it was called Persia not Iran moron,

    n i love being arab from persian ancestry, but given the choice i'm arab all the way!!!

    if they consider themselves north africans, then i consider my self asian, since i live in asia

    what ur saying doesnt make sense, Egyptians are proud of being arabic, I know them cuz I've lived among them all my life, what ur saying is typical u-tube bullshit,, i've read it in every arab related video

  • @bawain Quit living in the past...this is the 21st century and Persia is no longer known as Persia....it is Iran as it says on the map. Egypt is in Africa, North Africa, it is not in the Middle East so it is perfectly normal for an Egyptian to refer themselves as North Africans if they want. This is not bullshit...get that chip off your shoulder and face up to the facts of life...things change....nothing remains the same forever. Get with the program.

  • @2egypt omg ok ,, i'm leaving this arguement with one last quote: dont argue with an idiot, people might mistake you for one

    bye bye

  • @bawain You're the idiot...just an immature kid. Come back when you're grown up....

  • The ancient population of Egypt has never been extinguished nor replaced, but is in fact ancestral to most of the modern population of Egypt. Ancient Egyptians looked very much like modern Egyptians; the faces on the walls of tombs and temples can be matched by the faces to be seen on the streets of modern Cairo. - A statement from Royal Ontario Museum.

  • hi is egyptian

  • Um charme este homem!

  • It's wrong ra2asa that every Egyptian has a hebrew ancestor. The Jews were a minority along the Egyptian history .They were a minority before christ ,after christ and after the Islamic "fath" . Your name seems to be very interresting "Ra2asa" I wish if I met you someday.

  • Omar sharif's parents were lebanese maronites father from lebanon mother from syria.

  • That's NOT True,unluckily Some People with no job just Their Mission in This Life is Spreading Pointless Rumours about our Great EGYPTIAN Icons like "Omar El -Sharif" and instead of improving Their Countries and Try to give Something useful For Humanity,They just Crying Their Failure by Trying to Steal the Glory and the Heritage of Others as Many Now Do with my EGYPTIAN People,all the Greatest scientists,Thinkers,Writers in the Middle East who won NOBEL Prize Came From EGYPT!

  • The EGYPTIAN Legend "Omar El-Sharif" is Part of my EGYPTIAN Glory and Hertiage and he's Part of all the Sweet Memories in My Country EGYPT,He's PROUD ALEXANDRIAN EGYPTIAN 100% and Came From Famous Family "Shalhoub" in my Beautiful city Alexandria the Pearl of Mediterranean,and he Converted To Islam to Marry the Love of his Life the EGYPTIAN actress "Faten Hamama" and btw They have a son now he's EGYPTIAN Too his name is "Tarek

  • What a beautyful men!!!

    Thanks for uploading this vid.

  • Marry me, Omar!

    He was soooo hansome!

    not in a girly Brad Pitt way....

    But in a real macho way!

  • We must be open minded. Every Egyptian has Hebrew ancestors. I'm Egyptian and I have Jewish ancestors even though I am Muslim .Omar Sharif was Jewish and converted to Islam. You cannot hate on any religion. Only God will judge us all in the end.

  • yah you are right

    more over there was alot of jewish in Egypt and alot of israelian is egyptian jewish

    be jewish dont mean be israelian omar elsheirf is Egyptian muslim or not he is Egyptian
