And, for her first interview, the 44-year-old presenter received Océane Amsler, ex-candidate of the reality tv angels. This episode collected 1.2 million views in just five days! An incredible start for a first! A success that the wife of the novelist Maxime Chattam wanted to share on her Instagram account and especially to thank her fans, before launching, this Sunday, July 23, a new highly anticipated episode where she receives the actor and also a dancer. Nicholas Anselmoknown to TF1 viewers for his leading role as Eliott in Here it all starts.
Victim of harassment, the actor admits: “day and night, I was constantly called…”

And the meeting between the host and the young actor gave rise to a touching interview, very intimate without being immodest. Within this Safe Zone where the guest seems very comfortable, Nicolas Anselmo was able to evoke his hypersensitivity whose natural protective barrier makes him “enigmatic” according to the presenter.

The young man discusses the homophobia he suffered, his therapy to erase these scars, his current struggle against transphobia, the transformation of his fictional character as he evolves… Whoever wants “since he was little, remove the ‘s’ from his first name” to call himself as his Italian grandfather even admits thinking about ending one’s life but don’t confidenot have the courage” to take action, especially since the actor has already lost a friend very dear to his heart, Nathan, in these circumstances. According to his confessions, his entourage is manifested through small videos, which has the gift of bringing tears to the eye of the handsome Nicolas, who ensures, throughout, to have been lucky to have had parents who had always supported and above all loved him terribly.
