Very moved, the pianist ended up collapsing live: “I’m going to make a confession to you, that’s what I’m going to talk about. I don’t know how you’re going to take it. JI know that you have audience requirements, but I think that talking about autism, of their representativeness in culture and the media, can be more socially constructive than talking about it” he chanted .
Reassured by Cyril Hanouna who said he was happy to give him a platform to raise awareness about disability, William Theviot continued his momentum: “How far do you have to go to talk about disability on a TV set? This is where I am! VSIt’s extremely delicate to talk about it when it’s not sequences that make the buzz, when it’s not autism month!”.
“Maybe I’m making myself look ridiculous, but if it can save a few heads, it’s not for nothing that I would have come, even if I break my image here and cry about it, we must save these people ” concluded the guest in tears.
