It’s hard not to appreciate Stéphane Plaza. His joy and his humor hit the mark with the public. As proof, he was elected “Favorite animator of the French” for the third consecutive time in one year, according to a poll of TVMagazine. For the occasion, our colleagues met relatives of the flagship host of M6, including Jeanfi Janssens who highlighted the generosity of his longtime friend.
It was during his participation in Search apartment or house that the 48-year-old comedian met Stéphane Plaza. He was looking for a property in Paris and had asked for help from the 52-year-old real estate agent and host. At the time, Jeanfi Janssens had serious money problems because of a former boyfriend who had scammed him. “I had a lot of worries in my life in relation to money. So I have a different relationship with money, I can’t look at my bank accounts. I had been scammed by my ex, he had made me do lots of credits in my name for him, then he left with the credits but not me. I had to pay back 100,000 euros for 10 years of my life for him“, he confided in the radio program The Luxury Show! on Voltage, in November 2018.
But he was able to count on Stéphane Plaza to help him, as he explained in the edition of TVMagazine from June 17, 2022.”I met Stéphane ten years ago because I was looking for an apartment in Paris. He found me a great thing, but I couldn’t finance itbecause I was starting my career as an artist. We stayed in touch and he always pushed me not to let go. I almost stopped everything at one point and I hadn’t paid my rent for a year. Stéphane said to me: ‘You continue, who cares! I will pay you your rent“, he said. A boost that allowed the former steward to shine in the spotlight afterwards.
This love, his loved ones return it to him so much he is generous, close to the public, funny or even spontaneous as other friends or collaborators of Stéphane Plaza have pointed out. A “fuel“very important in his life.”His primary fuel is the love people have for him. It is fundamental for him, because he is not married, he has no children, he no longer has his mother and I believe that the love of the public carries him. People need love and Stéphane really gives it to them“, underlined her best friend Karine Le Marchand. So many testimonies which should touch Stéphane Plaza in the heart.
