Al-Shareef said that he loved the serial "Al-Jama'aa," which was televised during Ramadan, and especially actor Hasan Al-Banna. He also commended the serial "Back Streets" that talked about extremism.

He said that it showed extremism in a different light. Recently, Al-Shareef said that he did not mind playing the role of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak under the condition that the role is realistic.
