Born in Oran (Algeria), Mohamed Bouhafsi grew up in Saint-Denis (93) in a blended family. Raised by his mother, he studied in the 16th arrondissement of Paris before starting his career on RMC radio, where he obtained his first internship in 2010. Two years later, at just 19 years old, he signed his first contract with this radio and then worked as a journalist specializing in football. In 2016, he took over as head of football for the group.
After having been a presenter in the show “Breaking Foot” and in the show “Top of the Foot”, he took a major turn in 2021 by leaving the sporting world to become a columnist in the show C à vous on France 5 .
This Monday, April 8, 2024, the journalist shared an adorable memory, the opportunity for us to learn that the late Jean-Luc Delarue is one of those who inspired him to pursue this profession. “This weekend, my mother found at the bottom of a storage room this note from my television model, Jean Luc Delarue. What emotion, 19 years later. On June 6, 2005, I participated in the show “2025, the future in front” one of my first TVs, I was 13 years old” he wrote in the caption of a photo which is none other than a signed photo of Jean-Luc Delarue.
“In this ecological anticipation show, Jean Luc Delarue excelled. I spent several minutes with him, I admired his talent on the air. He made me want to do TV. I loved it “ It’s debatable” this show where empathy, kindness, listening reigned. The many pieces of advice from this television giant to a little teenager from 93 stay with me every day.” continues Mohamed Bouhafsi.
