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. ==Early life== Omar Sharif, whose surname means "noble" or "nobleman" in Arabic, was born on 10 April 1932,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Omar Sharif Biography (1932–) ) Source notes: "Original name, Michael Shalhoub (some sources spell surname "Chalhoub")"〕 as Michel Dimitri Chalhoub in Alexandria, Egypt,〔("Omar Sharif: 'It is a great film, but I'm not very good in it'" ), ''The Independent''〕 to a Melkite Catholic family of Lebanese descent. His father, Joseph Chalhoub, a precious woods merchant originally from Zahlé, Lebanon, moved to the port city of Alexandria in the early 20th century, where Sharif was later born. His family moved to Cairo when he was four. His mother, Claire Saada, was a noted society hostess, and Egypt's King Farouk was a regular visitor prior to his deposition in 1952. In his youth, Sharif studied at Victoria College, Cairo, where he showed a talent for languages. He later graduated from Cairo University with a degree in mathematics and physics.〔 He then worked for a while in his father's precious wood business before studying acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.〔 In 1955, Sharif changed his name and converted to Islam in order to marry〔〔(El Mundo Magazine ), "Entrevista: Omar Sharif", by Eugenia Yagüe, 2002, retrieved 12 July 2015.〕 fellow Egyptian actress Faten Hamama.〔Sharif, Omar (1977), The Eternal Male: My Own Story, Doubleday, NY, 1st Ed., p. 71.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Omar Sharif )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omar Sharif」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
