Omar Sharif (photo) is taking a vacation on Kos, escorted by his ex-wife and movie partner Faten Hamama. The two famous artists were together from 1954, when Omar Sharif converted to Islam in order to be able to marry her, until 1974. The Egyptian star traveled to Kos in the 70’s and became really excited. “Kos is a large island, where even the most demanding visitor can find everything to be satisfied”, Mr. Sharif has said. He is also going to visit Athens, where he will talk with a Greek director and producer, the name of whom hasn’t yet been revealed, for his participation in a war drama. The shooting of the movie will take place in ancient Olympia and the cast will include Greek and leading foreign actors. During his stay in Athens, Omar Sharif hopes to meet with Vangelis Papathanassiou and Irene Papas, who he admires very much.
