No one really expected to hear that name, but David Douillet will participate well in the twelfth season of the reality TV show, Dance with the stars ! Alongside Filipino singer Billy Crawford, comedian Florent Peyre and influencer Léa Elui, the former judo star becomes the fourth name to come out of the hat in the dance competition which is a hit on TF1. “Hello, I’m David Douillet and I’ve set myself a challenge that’s quite big for me: I’ve decided to take part in Dance with the stars. It’s going to be a lot of work, I hope I’m going to have a lot of fun especially and to be able to give you a little pleasure. That’s it, see you soon”he said on the presentation video.
A particularly daring challenge from David Douillet, who leaves with a significant handicap since from the height of his 1.96 m, he will certainly have a little more trouble than the others. But that did not seem to discourage him and to succeed in this great challenge, he will of course be able to count on the support of those close to him and in particular that of his son, Jeremiah. The eldest of a family of 4 children, the solid forecastle of 2.05 m inherited his father’s genes since he also knows a great sports career in basketball. Aged 30, he is the fruit of his father’s previous relationship with his ex-wife Valérie.
Basketball champion and real estate agent
Born in Mont-Saint-Aignan (Seine-Maritime), Jérémie Douillet began his basketball career in Nantes before getting to know many clubs. He has been evolving since 2021 within Beaujolais Basket, a club playing in National Men’s 2, the 4th level in France. Next to that, the young man is co-founder of a real estate agency and works as a real estate agent, which gives him one more point in common with his father. Indeed, beyond being both endowed with an impressive physique, David Douillet and his son also look a lot alike, as can be seen in the photos (to be found in the slideshow).
Coming soon to the twelfth edition of Dance with the starsDavid Douillet already knows that he can count on the support of Jérémie, this son who looks a lot like him!
