Mohamed Khaled Natta is a high level bodybuilder turned triathlete. He has recently participated in the Iron Man race, known as the toughest race in the world, and finished it! We got a chance to learn all about his journey, and to get some helpful tips as well.
CWM: When did you start bodybuilding?
MN: I started training when I was 12 years old, but only entered my first bodybuilding competitions when I turned 18. I entered three or four competitions in that year. From 18 to 22 years old I stopped competing, as I was too busy with college work. When I was done with my education, I went back to an intensive training routine, making the Egypt National Team for Bodybuilding and then entered the IFBB World’s Men Bodybuilding Championship in Spain in 2015 where I took 7th place and the IFBB World’s Junior Championship in El Salvador where I took 3rd place. Since then, I have started working and don’t have enough time to train and compete at the same level I used to. However, I found a new passion in triathlon, and decided to try something new.
What are some tips you can share with us about training and competing?
When training and competing at this level, you definitely need a nutritionist to be following your diet. The food and lifestyle is 60% to 70% of the work. Someone that trains very well, but does not eat well or rest enough will not see the best results.
Talk us through a bodybuilder’s diet …
First of all, you need to calculate your personal calorie intake based on your weight, height, gender and age. Then, it all depends on what your goal is as a bodybuilder. If you want to build up muscles, you add calories and protein to your personal calorie intake and if you want to lose some weight, you subtract from it. In my opinion, for bodybuilding the optimum diet is to divide your calorie intake in this way: 40% proteins, 40% carbohydrates and 20% fats. Of course, this differs from sport to sport. Also, for bodybuilding in particular, you need to divide your food into six to eight small meals per day, instead of the regular three meals per day, in order to increase your metabolism.
What’s your workout routine?
In normal periods, I will train for two hours per day, five times a week. Before bodybuilding competitions, I do two sessions of two hours per day, for six days a week. Since it’s an endurance race, the Iron Man competition needs more training hours. During the final two months preceding the Iron Man, I was training 25 to 30 hours a week!
Rest days are the most important. When you train you break your body, and during times of recovery that is when your body is actually building. Rest, healthy food, relaxation and sleep are very important, and I also have massages regularly so that my body can endure the intense training.
Tell us about your experience at the Iron Man competition in Vichy and what it took to finish the race.
I was never a triathlete. However, this year I felt like I wanted to do something different. I started training and joining marathons and I loved the feeling of challenging myself. After a couple of marathons, I heard about the Iron Man competition by coincidence. I really liked the idea of how a human body can stay working for 16 hours straight. I had never raced a bike or swam competitively before, so I started taking swimming and cycling classes and joined short distance triathlons. I really loved the feeling! There are only around 20 Egyptians who finished the Iron Man race before and I was really excited to take part in it, and finish it! I hired a coach specialized in Iron Man training and started training very seriously. It was a really tough two months coordinating 30 hours of training a week with my day job. It was very challenging. I was training before and after work everyday and there was never any free time to go out on weekends or see friends. The hard work paid off, as I finished the race quite easily in 14 hours and 39 minutes and felt an incredible feeling of satisfaction.
So, what’s next?
There are many marathons taking place in Egypt at the beginning of next year, and I plan to participate. Hopefully in April, I will join my second Iron Man, in South Africa. For this year I feel like I am done, it was a good introduction to endurance sports, taking part in two full marathons and an Iron Man race.
A veteran actor with a career spanning decades, Ahmed El Fishawy is no stranger to the madness of show business. Adding producer and director to his list of accomplishments, this risk taker loves a juicy plot with a twisty cast of characters. Cue Karim El Shenawy’s Gunshot, and El Fishawy jumped on board the thrilling ride playing Doctor Yassin. The plot details of this murder mystery were heavily guarded in the run up to the premiere of the film at Gouna Film Festival last month, but we managed to grab a few moments of El Fishawy’s time to dig into how he prepared for his performance and what we can expect to see next.
What can you tell us about your role as Yassin in Gunshot?
I play a very different role for me, this is the second time I play a doctor – the last time was eight years ago when I played Sherif in 678. But this time it’s a different type of film, it’s a thriller – very mysterious and dramatic.
How did you prepare and get into character for this part?
The director, Karim El Shenawy, and the writer, Haitham Dabbour, were very influential throughout the whole process of preparing and shooting the film. They really talked me through the building of this character. I also met a lot of doctors and researched how to get into the mindset of a doctor to pull off the character of Yassin.
Were there any particular challenges for you in terms of the preparation?
The challenges actually fell more on the shoulders of our director, Karim El Shenawy! He is a visionary director. He puts so much heart into it.
This is El Shenawy’s first feature as a director, what was it like working with this rising talent on such a career milestone for him?
I’ve actually been privileged to work with many directors on their first feature film, seven to be exact. Among them were Amr Salama in Zay El Naharda, Ahmed Mekky in El 7assa El Sab3a, Mohamed Diab in 678, Ahmed Yousri in 45 Days… all these directors, it was their first feature and I really get excited to work with a director on their first movie because they always give a first project their all and the film is always very special.
Were there any moments during filming that particularly stood out for you?
Well, we build a set for a morgue – so that was scary! It was creepy for all of us to act on set in a morgue and pretend to dissect people.
What do you base your selection criteria on when you are reading through scripts and selecting projects?
Throughout my career, I’ve selected projects based on a simple motto: “If it aims on the page, it aims on the stage.” So first thing I am concerned with is that I have a good script in my hands; that is where it all starts. If it’s good on the page, then it’ll be a good film.
What about you yourself venturing into producing or directing?
Yes, I produced a film with T Productions and my own production company, Crystal Dog. It’s called Khareg El Khedma and I star in it with Shereen Reda. This is Crystal Dog’s first production, which is pretty exciting! Hopefully next year we’ll be joining forces with two other production companies to work on an innovative comedy about zombies – the first of its kind in Egypt.
What was the experience like being behind the camera for a change?
It feels great to be behind the camera because there are more branches and creative facets to explore as opposed to being an actor. There’s a certain type of freedom to create, especially when it comes to directing. I prefer being behind the camera sometimes.
This is the second year in a row you have starred in a film opening at the El Gouna Film Festival. How does it feel to be a key part of such a prestigious event?
The first edition was very successful, and I love how organized they are at pulling such a big event off. I was very excited to be part of it two years in a row, and hopefully I’m going to be part of next year’s edition as well!
Any projects or genres you wish to tackle next?
I don’t really have any solid plans, but I’m always taking chances, reading scripts, even from newcomers who are writing for the first time or directing for the first time. I’m very open to that, no specific plans!
Hot off the heels of a well-received role in Ramadan 2018’s Layali Eugenie, Asmaa Abu El Yazeed is becoming an in demand actress capable of playing a turn as a soft and whimsical singer or an emotionally volatile lady with deep secrets. We caught up with her to learn more about her role as Salma in Gunshot.
What can you tell us about your role in Gunshot and how you prepared for it?
I play Salma, the fiancée of Alaa, Arfa Abdel Rasool plays my mother-in-law. She is a conflicted character that is dealing with the aftermath of a crime and coming to grips with how this will affect her life.
You have enjoyed a successful career on stage in several productions. Tell us a bit about your transition to TV and film.
I’ve played roles in TV series before working on this film, like Haza El Masa2 and I was filming a feature titled Ana Shahera… Ana El Kha2en at the same time as preparing for my role in Gunshot. I was pleased to also have a film come out this past Eid called El Kawyeseen.
What was different about Gunshot in terms of preparing for the role?
It was actually a smooth process, the cast was fortunate to sit together many times to rehearse and get to grips with our characters. I worked very closely with our director, Karim El Shenawy, to really delve into the character of Salma and learn her motives and feelings. He also allowed me to put my own flourishes and fingerprint on her character, which was a privilege.
Did you face any challenges with the character of Salma?
I think the hardest part about playing Salma was she feels compelled to say things that are in conflict with her true feelings, and that is a challenge for most people. Her eyes contradict the words that come out of her mouth, and that is a challenge to pull off.
AR: I play a mother who is very mysterious, and the audience will be surprised by her at the end of the film. All the tricks and cunning moves that she resorts to are to protect her children, and I believe any mother in her place would do the same. She is a very authentic Egyptian woman and mother, but there is an obvious air of mystery audiences that will leave audiences intrigued. She resorts to certain extreme measures due to her circumstances.
How did you prepare for the role?
Honestly, preparing for this role didn’t need anything specific. It’s not as if I’m 24 and preparing for a role drastically different from who I am in real life. I usually read a script and either relate to the character or I like her. I am a mother and have children, so I can relate on several levels. I have experience dealing with many different types of mothers and I was raised in a stereotypically Egyptian neighborhood, so I do my best to empathize with the character, feel her troubles, and the acting comes out from within.
What was it like working with a first time director?
Honestly, more seasoned directors may be stuck in old school methods, so I enjoy working with fresh talent. A new director may have a fresher perspective and a different eye. I trust their talent, and wish them the most success. I also trust the production company to hire a director that is capable of creating great movies.
How is this role different from other acting experience you’ve had?
This role is very different from anything I’ve done before; I believe it will elevate my career in a totally different way. The script is developed very well and the director has made a great effort on this film. My acting colleagues have also helped me a lot – all of them have supported me a great deal, because this role was physically and mentally taxing. There is a scene where Ahmed Malek’s character straddles and beats me which, was difficult to say the least. The director also pulls off amazing shots within the film; one in particular is a lengthy one-shot scene, which came out spectacular. I am really betting this film will make a great impact on my career and the audience.
Any new projects coming up in the pipeline?
I’ll be traveling to Lebanon to participate in a storytelling festival, as I am known in the region for being a capable storytelling coach. I also teach courses at Studio ZAT in storytelling, so this is how I spend my downtime until the next project comes along!
On Thursday nights from 7-11 pm Aqua e Luce turns into a traditional Brazilian restaurant, complete with churrascaria served at your table. This is a meat lover’s dream.
Signatures Dishes & Dishes Sampled
The Brazilian BBQ night is a signature feature of the contemporary menu at Aqua e Luce. The signature cuts of meat cooked to perfection make the experience unique.
The timeless issue of quality versus quantity is not a problem on Thursday evenings. The amount of high-quality food in abundance is unlike anything else available in Cairo right now. We started with a trip to the buffet, which was overwhelming due to the amount of fantastic and diverse options. We started with salads including Salmon Salad, Brazilian Beef Salad, Chinese Salad, and Mexican Salad. Each receives a five out of five rating but honorable mention goes to the Salmon Salad; fresh pieces of salmon atop glass noodles and fresh vegetables married together with a hint of citrus.
Not pacing ourselves at all we decided to next try a variety of sushi because it looked too good to pass up and what a treat to have sushi as part of a salad buffet! More than five types of sushi rolls later including nigiri and uramaki we figured it was necessary to leave room for the pièce de résistance, the churrasco style meat. The brilliant chef Eduardo Bronte and his team carved us piece after piece of the juiciest most delicious BBQ meat. From veal tenderloin to short ribs to grilled salmon, there is a piece of meat or 100 for every hungry diner. It is not an exaggeration to say there is simply too much food to eat in one sitting, and that this was some of the best BBQ we have ever had. To end a perfect evening, we dove into the dessert bar and with so many choices, but alas, the double chocolate fondue won our hearts.
Other Menu Options that Appealed & Beverages Available
The buffet for the Brazilian night is so extensive you will have to make multiple trips to try and enjoy everything. The endless fruits, vegetables, cheeses, nuts, salads, sushi, and dips are mouthwatering
Being inside an international hotel, the restaurant serves a wide variety of hard and soft drinks.
Décor & Ambience
The décor is modern with a fantastic tropical backdrop. The ambiance is romantic and sophisticated.
Clientele mix: The clientele at Aqua e Luce is international, foreigners visiting Cairo as well as locals are gathered to share a delicious traditional Brazilian meal together.
Price range: The price for the buffet is high, but considering it is an endless evening of starters, salads, churrasco-style meat, and delicious desserts it is well worth the price.
Hot Tip: There are many people in and out of the hotel and because of this the restaurants in the Fairmont Towers tend to be quite busy. On Wednesday evenings fresh fish is brought in from Alexandria and Thursday’s churrascaria makes Aqua e Luce a very busy place. Call ahead to reserve a table so you don’t miss out on these special events.
Address: Heliopolis Towers Hotel Orouba Street, Heliopolis
In an intimate sit-down with internationally acclaimed DJ and music producer Sewwes – aka Marwan Ahmed El Swaisy – we learned about a journey of passion for music.
Growing up in a family that loved music and collected cassette tapes likely influenced the young boy’s musical inclinations. Soon enough he started his own collection, and used to even host listening parties for new cassette tape releases as a young boy. But it wasn’t until the day he heard a recording of music being mixed together that he knew exactly what he wanted to do when he grew up.
To Sewwes, the name “Funktions of Funk” is born of his nerdy side. A function of funk typically is a statement that would change according to funk. In other words, it means it is built around funk but it doesn’t have to be funk.
Some of his most notable musical inspirations are James Brown, Quincy Jones, Ziad al Rahbani, Michael Jackson, and his all-time favorite DJ, DJ Satoshi Tomiie.
Sewwes wouldn’t mind being stuck in the late 80s music scene, although he thinks African, Latin and Nubian music deserve more attention. His guilty pleasure song? None other than ‘Can I Touch You There’ by Michael Bolton.
Sewwes dreams of one day playing at Glastonbury, WMC and any festival by the beach.
