Charismatic Christine
When the movie director of “Fakers” wanted Christine Solomon to play a nudity scene in his film, Solomon told her agent she is no longer interested in the role. It is against her morals, ethics and principles. “There are things I value. I respect what I believe in,” said Solomon in an exclusive interview with Arab News in Montréal.
The day after Solomon told her agent that she was not going to do the nudity scene, the director decides to omit the scene because he really wanted Solomon in his film. “Don’t give up and don’t forsake what you believe in. Whatever God wants you to have, he is going to give it to you,” she added.
Born in Egypt and growing up in Montréal, Solomon’s Egyptian, Syrian and Lebanese ethnicity gave her the opportunity to explore her career as an actress in both the Egyptian and North American entertainment industries. Inspired by the Egyptian actress Sherihan, Solomon’s passion to become an actress began during her childhood.

Later on, the inspiration grew bigger watching movie stars such as Soad Hosni, Omar Sharif and Yo

If you’re not familiar, Fawazeer literally translates to ‘riddles’ from Arabic. It’s inarguably one of Ramadan’s most treasured memories, with the concept seeing its beginnings on Egyptian radios in the 1960s, before transitioning to the silver screen.
It didn’t take long before Fawazeer shared the same level of importance as the shared meals that on iftar tables—with the 10-minute-long variety shows becoming a Ramadan staple in every household. Each episode’s riddle became a family activity, a mission for those gathered around the television to solve.
The variety show, with its sketches and dance numbers, reigned Arab pop culture for the decades it ran. It was only natural for Sherihan, who presented starting 1985, to become a household name, an icon even.
But it’s been well over two decades since the show lived anywhere but YouTube links uploaded by nostalgic fans. Until now. Sherihan just made a comeback, returning to our screens as the star Vodafone
