You best knew him as Baptise Mondino in the series Under the sun
. A character that he played from 1997 to 2006 and that he had a lot of fun playing. In addition to this series, David Brecourt
also starred in the most famous French soap operas such as Commissioner Moulin, Léa Parker, Sister Thérèse.com, Julie Lescaut or Leo Matteï. A beautiful CV which pushed the production of Dance with the stars to offer him a place in the casting.
However, the actor, now 58 years old, has refused all the time, as he indicated to Jordan de Luxe this Monday, January 12, 2024. Guest on the show At Jordan’s
, David Brecourt indeed revealed that he was “proposed twice”Dance with the stars but this one has “refused twice”. “The reason you refused was to get roles later?” our colleague then asked him, curious to know the reason. “Yes, and I don’t know how to dance either… help. It’s true that I could have given them a little notoriety, but not the right one”the guest then admitted.
David Brécourt not motivated by the salary offered in “Dancing with the Stars”
But how does the actor manage to decline the invitation? He asks the production “to increase prices” to each of their requests? Obviously not. In fact, the actor of Under the sun ensures that Dance with the stars would pay its candidates poorly. “It’s not that well paid. It’s ridiculous. 30,000 euros something like that. All that to get me burned”said the man who became a father at 50.
Even if he has always refused to participate, he does not attack the candidates who take part in the tele-hook. Especially since he “There are some who dance well.” “But you have to be careful when you’re an actor. You can’t do anything. I can’t do Dancing with the Stars and play in the theater at the same time”he explained to justify his absence, for all these years, from the casting of the program.
