Bachir Skiredj (26 May 1939 – 28 January 2021)[1] was a Moroccan actor,[2] filmmaker,[3] comedian,[4] and screenwriter. A popular entertainer for decades,[5] he was best known for his role in Mohamed Abderrahman Tazi's À la recherche du mari de ma femme, a box office success.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
Controversies
[edit]In a 2014 commercial for real estate agency Addoha, Skiredj was criticized for playing the role of a polygamist seeking to separate his "four punishments", which he refuses to see living under the same roof. The commercial, deemed sexist, was withdrawn after 2M yielded to pressure.[12][13]
In 2018, two individuals were sentenced to two years in prison after leaking a video of an intoxicated Skiredj insulting the royal family.[14][15]
Death
[edit]Following a long battle with COVID-19, Skiredj died at his Orlando, Florida, home on 28 January 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida.[16][17][18][19]
