I was very pleased to get the opportunity to do this interview with 1983 Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout. Samir is launching his new supplement line and was promoting his products and DVDs at the Olympia expo:

Samir was covered up at the Olympia but he carries very good size. Samir will be 55 soon and still looks Great! The attached photo is from June of 2009. Samir said the picture was taken after a six week layoff. Going to the Mr. Olympia I have no doubt how important the role of genetics are in bodybuilding even though I wish this weren't the case at times. ;D
There is a good interview with Samir Bannout by David Robson on bodybuilding.com:

I saw Samir frequently at World Gym in Venice back in the day. He was usually accompanied by his blond girlfriend. Even worked in with him on seated calf raises once. Pretty cool guy...he was a bit of a character. Did a spot on Joe Weider impression, lol!

Much better, Matt!
You have improved your interview-technique, A LOT!
Keep up the good work!
(No more Canadian mumbling and nervous stuttering :) )

great interview matt!!.. you are very good 8)..

Getting better, but try not to drone on :D so much, after the initial intro you should say very little and your questions should be short and to the point.

Gotta love Sammy!

Yes! Exactly, I have to remind myself of this. I think for practice I will interview some of my friends about something related to them and try to keep this in mind so that I know to do it in the future.

It's just strange to me that so many of my friends don't sound particularly Canadian yet I do. I don't understand why that is.
great interview

Hey thanks Earl! I appreciate all the feedback about the interviews so hopefully in the future I can get the format down. Dave Palumbo consistently puts out good interviews I think because he is familiar with the format.
Samir is 215 and is carrying a lot of size but was wearing a huge t-shirt which covered him up a lot. But he is pretty big and in good shape and will be 55 soon.

Good stuff.
Samir looks great for his age in the 2009 pic you posted above.
