He is on the podium of the favorite animators of the French! Sometimes N°1 and sometimes N°2, behind Jean-Luc Reichmann, all this depending on the polling institutes. With its many successful real estate shows on M6, Stéphane Plaza has succeeded in a decade in making a name for himself and a place in the hearts of viewers, who appreciate his good-natured air, his blunders and his frank laughter. But behind the one who also and regularly participates, with his air à la Jean Lefebvre, at the Big heads on RTL, has, despite himself, been able to hide some secret demons. Among these…alcohol. An addiction which he wanted to get rid of publicly by announcing in particular, in December 2022, on the set of “Buzz TV” of the Figaro : “It’s been over 140 days since I last drank a gram of alcohol”. The favorite host of the M6 group then admitted his penchant for “comforting” drinks, such as small glasses of rosé after filming. Him that we gladly see in his emissions sabering the champagne after a sale: a nice commission, it is watered!
“I achieved the unthinkable, the unimaginable”
But today, soon to be 53, this media “Gaston Lagaffe” seems to have calmed down. He thus declared to our colleagues: “AT from a certain age, you cannot do everything”, before adding :“I chose my health.” A decision that seems to be due to reading his Instagram account, this Friday, January 10, 2023. On a photo of his legs at the beach, a glass of (Virgin?) Mojito in hand, we can indeed read: “Today is a big day. Step by step, I reached the unthinkable, the unimaginable, the 200 days (almost) without alcohol since I only allowed myself, for occasions dear to my heart, only 5 drinks in six months”, he confides to his 627,000 subscribers. “My body is happy, my wrinkles are fading and soon my acne pimples will reappear. Yes, I look 20 years younger. Simple pleasures have reappeared in his life, such as drinking… water!
