To achieve his ends, by any means. Like what, a lie can sometimes allow you to realize your dreams provided, of course, that it is not dangerous for you or the people it concerns. But for Jacques Legros, the lie of his adolescence allowed him to access the profession he had always dreamed of: journalist.
In fact, last October his work appeared Behind the screen – 40 years at the heart of the media Editions du Rocher. A book in which he makes many revelations about Jean-Pierre Pernaut and their complicated relationship, but not only. Marie-Sophie Lacarrau’s joker also evokes her son Gabriel. An HPI child about whom he wanted to tell more to our colleagues from Closer. “Gabriel is a musician and singer”, he confided before revealing : “He is preparing for his entrance exams, notably for the Juilliard School in New York, in the Musical Composition section. He dreams of making film scores. He has high intellectual potential. With all the frailties that entails, be careful… issues that parents have to deal with.”
Lie to become a journalist
But what viewers of 1 p.m. TF1 were probably unaware of, is that Jacques Legros might never have been able to become a journalist if he had not given himself the means. Means not really regulatory because the joker of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau would have simply lied to practice this profession as he notes in his book. “With the school, it was a divorce at first sight”he writes in Behind the screen – 40 years at the heart of the media. A way to make it clear that life did not promise him to live his dream.
He still managed to get his baccalaureate and enrolled in law school. A place in which he fell in love with physics, which led him to his first job: civil engineer at the Directorate General for Armaments, as noted by our colleagues from Telestar. After four years in this profession, he decided to realize his dream and become a journalist by applying for the antenna of Radio France in Avignon. An application that he submits pretending to be… a real journalist with the help of a friend who, herself, already works in the profession.
