Omar Sharif is a screen legend. He’s been in films. Big films. Y’know? The kind of films that make people go “Oooh! Oh yes, of course I’ve seen it! Yeah, it’s great. It was a while ago though, so I can’t really remember it”.
Basically, he’s been in very famous films that most people haven’t got ’round to seeing.
Doesn’t matter though. That’s because he could be now famous for (allegedly) slapping a woman across the face. That’s nice isn’t it?
The actor was making an appearance at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival in Qatar when someone filmed him being pestered by fans.
He poses with one lady while another one bugs him for a photo. Then, the video captures him reacting rather angrily to her.
It’s then the slap SEEMS to happen. See lawyers? We’re not saying ‘definitely’. Go and bother someone else. We really are very tired of you emailing us now.
Of course, this isn’t Omar’s first case of blowing his dome. In 2003, he was convicted of attacking a policeman in Paris after he’d spunked ?20,000 in a single, losing bet at a casino. Apparently, he head-butted the officer.
In 2007, he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery charges in California after brawling with a parking attendant in Beverly Hills.
Anyway, here’s the video. You’ll like it.
It’s nice.
