Omar Sy is a French film actor, star of the popular films "1 + 1 (Untouchables)", "Samba", "Chocolate" and "Inferno". For the role of Driss in the first of these films, he received the main French film award "Cesar" for the best male role.

Omar Sy was born in Trapp, in the historic Ile-de-France. The boy's mother, who worked as a cleaner, is from Mauritania, and his father is a handyman from Senegal. At the time of Omar's birth, the family already had three children, and after him four more were born.

Omar Sy grew up a sociable child, teachers noted that he had a "good hanging tongue." Using this innate gift, Omar Si went to work on radio, where he was a DJ as a teenager and entertained listeners with monologues. When the guy received a certificate of maturity, one of the production centers invited him to create his own show. Omar Sy appears on TV with the author's program "Videophone".

In parallel, the parents sent their son to get a “normal” profession. He trained as an air conditioner repair technician.

Subsequently, the actor Fred Testo joined the young man in the program, and the project was transformed into the comedy TV show "Omar and Fred", which was very popular throughout the country for several years. When the ratings of the project fell and the show was closed, Omar Si decided to make a career as an actor, because by that time he already had experience in filming in small roles.

For the first time in a feature film, Omar Si appeared in 2001. It was a cameo role for a taxi driver in the French comedy "Infernal Skyscraper". Then he participated in five to six projects annually, although most of the films of that period are known only in the home country of Omar Xi.

It is still considered that "1 + 1" is the most financially profitable project in the history of French cinema.

The plot of the film is based on the true story of the friendship between the paralyzed aristocrat Philip Pozzo di Borgo and a young man named Abdel, caring for him, who has just been released from prison. To better understand the characters of their heroes, Omar Sy and Francois Cluse came to Philippe.

Later, Omar admitted that he did not specifically get to know Abdel, because the artist had already formed the image of a character. And the actor was amazed with what love Philip spoke about his friend. I met Abdel Xi only at the premiere of the film. After watching, the man admitted that he seemed to be looking in the mirror and he liked the reflection. It sounded like a compliment to Omar.
