I'm reading conflicting articles in various media, citing he's 45,55 even 60.

Does anyone know his actual age?

I'd put him somewhere between 0 and 100, as is the typical range for one of them humans.

Thanks.

Every article i've read has stated he's 45. I found that a little strange considering onscreen Sharif and Yasmeen just celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. That means he's playing a character at least 20 years older than himself. Ayla and Zeedan are in their mid 20s aren't they? At 45 he's barely old enough to be their dad never mind their granddad.

I couldn't believe he was quoted as being 45 yesterday

That's a Patsy Stone level of age fabrication

I also doubted he could be 45 as he is Zeedan's grandad. Maybe he wears that greying beard to look older.

Does anyone feel uncomfortable seeing him on screen?

That's because all the articles are just copying or rehashing the original one, (from the Mirror I think) and it apparently didn't occur to a single one of them to check the obvious discrepancy).

Anwar played an adult male 32 years ago in Juliet Bravo in 1984. I imagine he's around 55.

No way is he 45! He has to be at least ten years older than that!

I was just coming in to post exactly the same thing about Juliet bravo which from the credit was clearly an adult role - bit hard if he were 13! That was his first role and has worked consistently since so I'd say he is more likely to be 55.

No idea how old he is but Sharif looks better suited to the woman playing his mistress than Yasmin. I think Yasmin looks well over 10 years older than Sharif.

He's the same age as Ken, 117 next Friday. Who's the smartest was always cause for debate in our house.

It is a little strange that both IMDb and wiki don't list his age/birthdate. I would think he is likely mid 50's to 60-ish.

I looked his age up yesterday after seeing on news reports he was 45 and on a daily mail article they said he was 60 which makes more sense

Old enough to make a complete ass of himself, it seems.

As I understand, he is 15 years old. Don't be fooled by his appearence. I believe he suffers from an accelerated aging disease, which has caused his genes to age faster than a normal human, that's why he looks so old. But don't be fooled - he is 15 years old.
