I've just read in the 17-30 December 2011 'Radio Times' (p83) that, in 1962 the British actor Peter O’Toole, referred to his ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ co-star, Omar Sharif, as ‘Fred’ because he claimed it “impossible” that anyone should be called
Omar Sharif'.
Let’s hope that O’Toole became more enlightened over the years!
