Hollywood actor Omar Sharif is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and gets confused when remembering some of the biggest films of his career, his son has claimed.
Tarek El-Sharif, the only child of the star's marriage to ex-wife Faten Hamama, said his 83-year-old father mixes up the names of his best-known films - Doctor Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia - and often forgets where they were filmed.
Mr El-Sharif also revealed that while his Egyptian-born father knows he is a famous actor, he confuses fans who ask him for autographs for people he used to know.
