When Omar Sharif screentested to play Sherif Ali, Sir David Lean wanted to give the character facial hair to contrast with the fair, clean-shaven Peter O'Toole. He tried Sharif with a beard, but didn't like it. Then he fitted the actor with a mustache, which is how Sharif played the role. Sharif had become a star in his native Egypt without facial hair. The impact that the mustachioed Sharif made in the movie was so strong that he kept the mustache for the rest of his career.
