A few weeks ago the cast of the new season of Dance with the stars was unveiled. In addition to the presence of an international star, that of Dita Von Teese, the buzz came from the fact that for the first time a male couple was going to tread the floor of the show. Indeed, the young Bilal Hassani, revealed by his participation in Eurovision, was assigned Jordan Mouillerac as a dance partner. An event that made some columnists like Matthieu Delormeau react, not satisfied with the choice. “Dance with the stars has been asked for 12 years for two boys to dance together. And when two boys dance together, who is dancing? It’s Bilal Hassani. I have nothing against him, but sorry: a guy who has a wig and false eyelashes, I do not recognize myself in this style of gay. People, when they watch television, have to say to themselves: ‘Here, I recognize the gay!’ Because if the gay is normal, we do not know that he is gay!“, he explained on the plateau of Touche not at my post, causing some outcry on social networks.
Chris Marques responds to Matthieu Delormeau’s comments
If Bilal Hassani had responded with humor by posting a selfie in which he wears a blue floral dress and a long blonde wig, others have found it more difficult to remain calm. Monday, October 25, Chris Marques, emblematic juror of the program gave an interview to Sam Zirah on Youtube. During the web program entitled En tout intimité, he returned to the criticisms made by Matthieu Delormeau with regard to the young singer. “Even before the show starts, you come to criticize Bilal Hassani’s position. We still have a kid who proudly shows who he is. I say it: we do not have the right to criticize it. I know Matthieu, he’s a friend. That day he would have done better to shut up“Balanced Chris Marques.
“It was a good time to make two men dance together. It was an editorial choice. It’s a whole that leads you to this decision and I find that we do not need to explain ourselves more than that. Bilal just wanted to dance with another man. What is delirium ? I am a little disappointed with Matthieu. Anyway, if we forget the form, Bilal proudly advocates his difference. Matthew shut up!“, he added.
