Fancied Omar Sharif so so much in Funny Girl that I took the paper insert out of the VHS tape cover and stuck it on the wall to swoon over— EmerTheScreamer (@EmerTheScreamer) July 10, 2015

#RIP Omar Sharif. There was never an Egyptian legend quite like him. It may have just appeared to be movies, but it was so much more. #Egypt— Hafsa Halawa (@HafsaHalawa) July 10, 2015
