Omar Sharif was born Michel Shalhoub in Alexandria, Egypt and raised a Roman Catholic by his wealthy parents who sent him to the elite Victoria College boarding school.

He converted to Islam when he was 23 and changed his name so that his Egyptian celebrity wife would not lose popularity.

He's spent most of his adult life in England and France. He now claims to be an atheist.
