Michel Abou Sleiman: Comedy, War, Regret, and the 53 Cars He Loved -- Season 2, Episode 34

Actor, comedian, and Voiceover Artist Michel Abou Sleiman sits down with us for a wild ride through life, laughter, and loss. From performing on Talk of the Town with Mona Abou Hamze to surviving the Lebanese War at just 14 years old, Michel opens up about the highs and lows that shaped his journey. He shares how he rose to fame through voiceover work, faced the collapse of his studio, and witnessed Lebanon’s darkest days — including the Beirut Port explosion. And yes, we talk speed, racing, and how he bought and sold over 53 cars (including one live on MTV). This episode has it all: comedy, nostalgia, honest regrets, and a powerful message to the next generation. It’s bold, emotional, and 100% Michel.
