In the Castaldi family, there are several who are famous. First of all, there is Jean-Pierre Castaldi, animator and actor. From his love with actress Catherine Allégret was born Benjamin Castaldi, who follows in his father’s footsteps. Finally, Cyril Hanouna’s columnist in Do not touch My TV (C8) in turn becomes the happy father of four boys: Julien and Simon (25 and 22, born from his past relationship with Valérie Sapienza), Enzo (18, fruit of his love with his ex-wife Flavie Flament ) and little Gabriel (soon to be 2 years old, whose mother is none other than his current wife Aurore Aleman). A beautiful family that viewers know well, since some of his sons are also immersed in the middle of the small screen.
This is the case of Simon, a sports and business student who became a reality TV candidate. For him, it all started in 2020 when he joined the cast of Princes and Princesses of Love on W9. Near Entertainment TV, he admits to having been taken as a prince only thanks to his famous father! “I made this show because of my namehe then launches, lucid about the situation. The plunger is no shame. But I’ll be frank, I was very bad on this show“, he said. This did not prevent him from continuing on this path …
However, for the future, there is no question of playing on his name or even asking Benjamin Castaldi for a little help. Simon had already been spotted by another figure in the middle. “It was Magali Berdah who helped me. She introduced me to the producers ofORDM. I passed a casting like everyone else and I knew how to take my chance“, he recalls. He reveals himself in Objective Rest of the worldstill on W9, and is even called back by production to join the team that faces The people of Marseilles in the summer of 2021.”I seized the perch that was stretched out to me. I think I have proven myself“, he confides to our colleagues.
If his career began with a piston, his success, the lover of the beautiful Adixia owes it to him and him alone! “There are very few places for applicants. I don’t think a production would take a bad candidate on the pretext that his father is known. If I am there, it is thanks to what I was able to bring to the programs“, estimates Simon Castaldi, seen with his partner in The Apprentice Adventurers those last weeks.
