Oskar Westerlin was surprised by the body of the international artist.

Singing star Sam Smith was playing at the Stavern Festival on Wednesday evening and had a training session at Sommerro in Oslo on Thursday.
Sam Smith met Oskar Westerlin there – or vice versa. Anyway, the interesting star duo, you could not imagine beforehand, found the tone and challenged each other “in the gym”.
Did a back joint session
The 33-year-old Brit, whose preferred pronoun is “they”, stayed at Sommerro last night and joined in as Westerlin held a training session.
– Sam joined a quick session back since he was in town, says Westerlin.
However, there was no time for a long session.
– It was very short, says Westerlin, and explains that the star had to go on.
However, Westerlin managed to register one thing.
– Smith was surprisingly tall and heavy, says Westerlin, who summarized the physique of the artist as “well built”.
In his Instagram story, Westerlin writes that the artist “loses” a rather respectable 115 kilos in pull-downs. That made a little boy on the impact who was well trained compared to Smith in some exercises.
– Sam was stronger pulling down and rowing, but I made him pull up, says Westerlin after the back session.
“wouldn’t be so crazy”
The artist is in the middle of a busy concert and festival summer and is now on his way to Poland, where the Brit will be playing in Gdynia on Friday evening.
Westerlin explains that there wasn’t much talking between the two, in part because he didn’t want to be a jaded fan.
– There was actually a lot of talk about training. But Sam seemed like a warm and pleasant man, says the influencer.
Meeting of celebrated artists
Oskar Westerlin also tried his hand as an artist, but so far he has slightly less currents than English Smith. According to Westerlin, there was no time for professional discussions between colleagues in the industry.
– Haha, no, we’ll have to do it next time.
– So Smith leaves the country without hearing any of your folk woes?
– Yes, and I think it is best that way, notes Westerlin.
There was drama when Westerlin couldn’t breathe during a recent recording of “Gutta”:
