The late star told, before his departure, regarding kisses in his life in an interview with Al-Shabaka magazine, and recounted the strangest kisses that he collected with female artists in films, where he said: “An artist who left cinema now had a beginning of understanding between me and her, or you might say that it was the smell of love, or the initiation of it, and I was touching Her hand while we were acting trembles, and I feel this, so I take her in kindness and take her seriously in performance so that her trembling does not become a disturbance from which the dialogue is lost or her mistake is forgotten.”
He recounted behind the scenes filming that scene, saying: I waited for the day when the kiss would be with impatient patience, because it was with such tenderness and sensitivity that it made me want to kiss her, and on that day she came with a blemished face and stood on the plateau listening to the director as if he was a hard-hearted judge judging her with kisses.. and the camera turned and approached me and in Her eyes begged more than love, and she came closer, then threw herself into my arms, and closed her lips as ordered by the director, and as the author’s imagination, and as the inevitability of the scene.
