When all this did not convince the father to let his son proceed with his acting career, Sharif decided to play a trick on his father and sell the goods for less than their original price. But his father was very patient with him and Sharif had to keep going on with his trick. Two years later, when the losses could no longer be ignored, the father gave up and finally told Sharif: “You want to become an actor? Fine. Do whatever you want” (Omar Sharif’s Confessions)
