After Jenifer during the very first season, it was Nolwenn Leroy who was crowned winner of the star Academy in 2002. Impossible then for the singer not to celebrate the 20 years of the program with some former comrades of her promotion. Saturday evening, she therefore found on TF1 Emma Daumas, Houcine, Anne-Laure, Fabien and Rudy to immerse themselves in their common memories. There is one, however, that she might have preferred to forget: his casting to integrate the adventure.
Nikos Aliagas however had fun making him review the images of this hearing which did not go very well in the eyes of Nolwenn Leroy. So much so that she did not think he was being held back at all. And for good reason, if she has completely assured for the singing part of her evaluation, the pretty brunette of 39 years has met many more difficulties when it was necessary to perform a few dance steps. In the images, we indeed discover a young woman who is uncomfortable with her body and has difficulty in taking steps (see our slideshow). “Ah I tell myself that it’s dead there“, reacted the mother of Marin (4 years).
And for her to recontextualize: “More, I almost fell off the stage because we could not see the edge well and the whole game was in the shadows. And at one point I took up so much space with the magnitude of my gestures that I almost fell. At last, it was ridiculous, I thought it was done“.
These shy beginnings in the dance world which were subsequently dissipated when Nolwenn Leroy finally did indeed join the castle of Dammarie-lès-Lys thanks to professional advice. “Kamel (Ouali, editor’s note) has changed my life. I was betting everything on singing and I must say thathe made me love dancing and I gave myself as never before on the set of Star Ac ‘, and honestly it’s one of my fondest memories, the choreographies, I really learned a lot in dance class“, she concluded.
