On April 5, Florent Pagny unveiled his autobiography Pagny by Florent.“Pagny is finally told by Florent, who forgets nothing of his past as a hyperactive child, his childhood dreams, slaps and tears, very highs and very lows, passionate loves and friendships, Vanessa Paradis, Johnny, Coluche, Philippe Starck… and his magical encounter with Azucena, the woman of his life, his double, from whom he has been inseparable for thirty years”, wrote Fayard editions on social networks to promote this book. A book in which the singer opens up, unvarnished, about his sexuality.
In the early 80s, the interpreter of Know how to love takes his first steps in show business. A period during which he also wonders about his sexual orientation. “Without having looked for it, I am always surrounded by homos, I get on really well with them”, he confides while returning to the many evenings spent in gay clubs.
“As a result, I end up wondering if I myself am not gay. And why not? Might as well be clear! So as not to die stupid, I try the experiment. Once, I let myself be approached, but very little time. Let’s say it was my gay minute. I quickly realized that I was an absolute hetero.”
