Blown away by the progress of young Jules – a sick boy whom he had met during the Telethon 2020, Mr. Pokora was entitled to a magnificent surprise that he shared on the set of the 35th edition of the show. While the little boy was disabled and could not move around last year, he was able to share his progress with the singer and show him that he is now able to walk on his own like a grown-up.
“He was standing. He was walking 100 steps. I hallucinatedKenna and Isaiah’s dad said before adding: “For me, who was there last year, to see the evolution in a year I find that very encouraging. It makes me want to push people to give again this year so that families can see hope again. And there clearly, with Jules and other children, we are full of hope !“
Godfather of Telethon 2020, the performer of the title The Planets had taken his role very seriously and had been “simply exceptional“according to Laurence Tiennot-Herment, the president of Telethon. “Being a godfather when I became a dad makes even more sense. Imagine a rare disease for which we have no treatment … When I see these children, I see mine“, had entrusted the husband of Christina Milian to Star TV in December 2020.
