An extraordinary man...never lost his charisma or his looks...he was here in Dublin shortly before he died and despite attracting a crowd of admirers he made sure he shook hands with everyone. a real gentleman.

One of the few cultivated Egyptians who belong to an era that will never come back. It is hard to find individuals like him these days in that part of the world unfortunately. The man had elegance, eloquence, class, language that are above that of the average person anywhere on the planet.

I wrote down the "Democracy starts with education....." quote for my bulletin board. He is a brilliant man, and I admire him.

I love the fact that he is so educated, elegant and smart.

This guy is truly intelligent and enlightened We need more people like this , east and west

Farewell, Omar Sharif! What an honest, straight-forward, charismatic, and compassionate human being..... not many actors or celebrities are like that any more!!

He was so correct even about laden saying he was in Pakistan Incredible

Thank you for sharing this with us. I adored this man and actor. Loved watching him, esp in Lawrence and Zhivago. His intensity was incredible, loved him!❤

I believe in everything and I believe in nothing. Legends would never be reborn. R.I.P Mr. Omar Sharif. ( A legend ).

RIP Omar Sharif. Such an incredibly gifted, beautiful, intelligent man. He was so insightful & so fully knowledgeable about himself and the world around him. He spoke six languages fluently and received his degree in math and physics. Always soft spoken yet he always clearly elucidated his thoughts and ideas. And those eyes, he was able to speak volumes with his eyes. I could only see him whenever he was on the screen - everything else faded into the background. It's so sad that he was addicted to gambling. I believe that robbed him of true happiness......he was a person who most certainly deserved to be happy.

Not just swooningly handsome. Sharif was beautiful. The most beautiful man who has ever been on screen.

Egyptians should be proud having this extraordinary man.. May his soul RIP forever

A very wise and thoughtful man. He will be missed.

Clarity, charming, captivating... You will always live in our hearts, you will never die...

One of my favorite actors. Rest in Peace Omar Sharif...

So great to hear a life's experience revealled with simple honest words.

Today is his birthday. Thank you, Mr. Sharif, for true magic. His sweet smile as Yuri Zhivago I will never forget. RIP.

RIP Omar Sharif - May God Rest Your Soul In Peace .. You will be truly missed

A man for all seasons, a heart for all reasons!

What an intelligent, well-informed man!

8:08 this is particularly telling. What an educated, non partisan man, who sees potential, but has a realistic interpretation of the world.

OMG , it's still relevant 😢

god knows how much I admire you Omar since I was 10 years old and I still have the passion every time when watch your old movie.. you are my idol man

one of the best films ever made and one of the greatest actors to grace the silver screen Omar Sharif will always be remembered. RIP Omar you must be home now with your Mother.

we love Omersharif. Most fascinating man. He is our brother . Love from kashmir , Pakistan .

Omar Sharif is an enlightened man...USA, UK and NATO please learn from him.....

Goodbye dear Omar, we Shall miss you, xx a fan

Makes Egyptians proud, such an amazing man RIP

Very intelligent and insightful man; and a great actor.

Wonderful, wonderful interview!!! Sharif had lots of wisdom. Brilliant man, but a loner and nothing wrong with that . Seemed as though he liked his life just as it was. Not everyone is looking for disco dancing his way through life. Glad this was posted!

I can't remember who or when and I regret that but Omar Sharif had one of the best appearances on a late night show years ago. It was like a cool, wise, sharp, fun, intelligent, vibrant grandpapa talking to you. He was so full of life and wisdom.

Last of the good actors we grew up with...... "THE OLD SCHOOL".....will be missed.

You were extraordinary MR. OMAR. RIP

Most legendary actor of all times!! If he was Jewish the industry would have made a statue of him in Hollywood. Super intelligent and honest. RIP to the King.....

Very honest about his shortcomings. And my gosh he was gorgeous as a young man.

A GRAND ACTOR.A GRAND MAN. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA IS THE BEST FILM EVER MADE.I THINK AND THE WORLD WILL NEVER FORGET DOCTOR ZHIVAGO.I LOVE JUST LISTENING TO THIS ACTORS AND MANS VOICE.WHAT CHARM AND ELEGANCE. SEB SWEDEN

What a powerful & well played scene by the great & beautiful legend Omar Sharif (late) when you see a black silhouette off in the distance coming towards you in Lawrence of Arabia & his staying power on screen in this movie & Dr. Zhivago! He is a mesmerizing, very handsome & sexy man back in his day & still was to his end on earth! Just finished watching Tamirand Seed & am so riveted when I see him on film! An absolutely great & very talented actor from Egypt. One of my favourites for sure! God Bless the great legend, Omar Sharif! 💖💖🕊🕊🕊🕊

RIP Dr Zhivago.

Omar Sharif (Sharif =noble in Arabic) A truly talented actor, Rest In Peace,.... passed 7 10 15 of a Heart Attack

RIP Omar. God Bless You!

Omar Sharif is quite informed and intelligent.

Awesome actor. A combination of Clint Eastwood toughness, Sean Connery charm, a very subtle hint of classy John Hurt and possessing Russell Crowe's commanding presence. Absolutely unforgettable. Thanks for the memories Omar.

Full of charisma and open minded. If only we had more thoughful people like Mr Sharif. Rip.

wonderful man .. may he rest in peace

Omar... charming man, great actor and wonderful person. I admire his.

Just read about his death, and was stunned. One of my favorite actors of the 60's and 70's.

He was a very great man and I love all the movies he was in. He was very well educated and had the right mindset on life as well as in politics. Very great man indeed.

I Love watching Omar Sharif being interviewed, he is always interesting and charming.

What an incredible clear free thinker

very honest interview..interesting man.

How right he was RIP OMAR 🙏🙏🙏 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Why the hell did no one offer him decent roles in the last 25 years of his career? He was a brilliant actor

beautiful man, you will be so missed rest in peace!​

What honesty....❤

He also played the role of an Armenian prince in the "Fall of the Roman Empire" (Gladiator took a lot from that film); his role was based on a true character from antiquity, King Tiridates II of Armenia; there is a monument in Rome commemorating the treaty between Rome, Armenia, and Germania around A.D 175 in the reign of Marcus Aurelius...

What a very intelligent eloquent man. I believe he was an agnostic in his later years.

This gentleman is so eloquent and so realistic in this views. He has always been an extremely handsome man, but in this interview you can see so much more than that. May he RIP

RIP you gorgeous man! xxx

He was so amazingly handsome in Lawrence of Arabia, and what a charming grandpa!

What a beautiful and profound thing to say ( 10:19) " .. who / what shall I call upon on my death bed.? Who shall I call for help? And I decided that I will call my mother for help. That what I decided, mother , come and help me, get me,!!!"

A man of the world

Excellent interview!!!

RIP Omar, thank you for your great Movies, we will never forget you!!!

he is also Egyptian I am very proud he is Egyptian that's where I'm from

REST IN PEACE OMAR, YOU'LL BE MISSED

This needs broadcasting right the way across the western world today, just listen and learn what this clever and very understanding man has to say about the Arab countries, and maybe we can then learn to keep our noses out of Arab affairs and not try and tell them how we want them to live like we choose to do so and maybe just maybe we can live apart in peace. My mother adored you sir, im sure you gave your mother a big hug as she greeted you, i to look forward to giving my oll mum a big hug again one day. rip Omar Sharif and thank you for being part of my life.

What a fascinating man! Practical , articulate , entertaining and funny with an honest and intelligent approach to life. I could listen to him forever. Rest in peace. OMAR

One of my favorite actors.

This.man.is.absolute.wise....!look.of.what.he.was.speakin.10.years.ago...

His level of knowledge doesn't have limits .He even mentioned the kurds. As a kurdish person I agree with all he said. Away from politics, race and religion, the very best arabic film of his which made me like cinema was " al ayamna al hilwa " ,with his late wife faten hamama. Bless them all and RIP

He is just a very nice person.

Fascinating actors...

Other than watching him work with great pleisure i must tell you one thing. I have met very few people anywhere who had such deep understanding and who where as generous as he is in everything. Love him forever.

So heartbreaking that he passed away and he's no longer with us honestly we need more people like him

OMAR SHARIF WAS A STUNNIG ACTOR! OF ALL TIMES!

I love him as an Actor, and as a Man of God / Allah ! The Best thing about Omar, is that he grew up as an ordinary man, and He speaks the Truth.

Just a Wonderful Person!

Today is his 86th birthday! Happy birthday to you, legend and RIP!

thank you for uploading this! great and really interesting interview of this movie legend and I think, also the only interview of him found on youtube

Wow! Omar was such a Seer, he's on mark with his views on the west's imposition of Democracy in the middle east and also about his predictions about Pakistan.

great actor .... still love his movies...

Omar sheriff, great charismatic, versatile, actor, honest straightforward his accent n cool acting should have given Oscars, Rip, omar sheriff legend, humble, person. Like watching even now all his movies, green ice, night of the generals, Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, tamarind seed, AWJ BLESSINGS

great and preciously valuable interview ;well done aussie; love his observations and comments from his education and knowledge that most of us don't have ,which is he could function and was at home ,in the arab ,muslim ,middle eastern world as well as the west , so he'd understand both mindsets and value differences . and could see the contrast where we that just have a western mindset and values would totally miss ,as he mentioned ,because we're looking from the outside in . and with his 5 or 7 languages he wasn't just visiting and passing through,but could look from the inside out of both sides and also from the ouside in .i have faith in and am a great admirer of imran khan ,who also can walk in both worlds and mindsets . he's nearly an honoury aussie , because he's held in such high esteem out here . i sometimes feel led to pray for imran's safety in that rough and tumble world of politics they have . how's that from a cricket loving aussie hick. go imran.

He was one of my favorite horse movies of all time Hidalgo

Great actor Omar was & very handsome as well!!❤️😍

A legend! Omar Sharif is an actor only you see once!

so educated man , I admire him

He made m proud that i'm Arab Muslim, not many actors in this world are modest,tolerant like him and the name Omar just suited him because it's a symbol of justice and respecting what people believe in May Allah show you mercy Omar Sharif

RIP, Omar Sharif .... what a gorgeous man and actor he was! I remember watching Dr. Zhivago when I was a child and I cried my eyes out over this movie... Anyone out there who could upload it?? ... so I could cry again... thanks...

What honesty.. Hardly seen around.

He's the brightest actor ever.

Hollywood should give Omar Sharif oscar statue for his many great movies!

What great insight and intelligence and acceptance of other peoples' different faiths ! I am a Christian, but I have told others that a perfect God can work through what some would consider imperfect theologies; God looks at the heart; who can tell what is going on w/ others on the inside ? As Bob Dylan sez: "don't criticize what you can't understand."

يتحدث خمسة لغات بالاضافة الي العربية وهي الإنجليزية والفرنسية واليونانية والايطالية والأسبانية.

he was Egypt's pride

Delightfully intelligent.

his talking is awesome,its true

Wonderful presence in film. I wish he'd done more... He was loved

"Democracy is not a panacea"... you damn right Michel, or should I call you Omar? You had superb common sense, honesty and charm. I really wish I had the chance to meet you. Among many roles, always come to my mind The Tamarind Seed, you and Julie Andrews created a real credible loving couple. I am sure your mom was waiting for you. I hope mine too.

One hundred 💯 sincere and frank
