Antoine Dupont had difficulty taking on his father’s job
Because yes, if some people don’t know it, the parents of the star of the French XV are farmers and the player had a lot of difficulty coping with it as he revealed during the report. “There was always this thing, not shameful but… I remember that when I was little, when I put parents’ profession, for my father I always put hotelier or restaurateur. I didn’t put farmer”he remembered.
Comments confirmed by his mother Marie-Pierre Galès: “Maybe he was a little ashamed to say farmer… At one time, it was a little devalued, peasant or son of a peasant, it was really ‘you haven’t progressed in your life’What”. Today, Antoine Dupont is proud of his father’s profession and realizes just how much and is not ashamed to talk about it openly.
