He would have preferred to perform another piece. This Friday, December 15, 2023, Axel will have to defend his place at the star Academy
facing the five other nominees who are Pierre, Clara, Candice, Djébril, Alex and Julien. It’s in the title Don’t Stop Me Now of Queen, thatAxel will play his place and will have to move the public. If the song speaks to everyone, the young man greatly dreads this moment. He did not hesitate to let Michael Goldman know this, as viewers were able to discover in the daily program hosted by Nikos Aliagas.
Michael Goldman justified this choice by indicating that he wanted to see Axel let loose on stage. But the academician does not want to let go “too much”. The reason ? “I’m afraid that if I really let go, we see too much of my gay sideand that crystallizes me right away”, he explains on camera. Indeed, following his speech, the candidate of the star Academyindicates that he always had to hide his homosexuality.

Axel, worried about his father’s gaze as the prime approaches
“All my life, I had to hide it because it wasn’t right to show it and now it puts a lot of pressure on me because I don’t want anyone to see me like that and I know that if I’m 100% myself it comes out a lot”, he confided. But his biggest fear is his family’s reaction. Especially that of his father. The young man explains that he is not going “not being able to watch [son] father in the eyes”when he finds him. Quite simply because he “I’m a little afraid of the gaze of [ses] parents on that”.
Even if he accepts his homosexuality, Axel recognizes that he always has a “distance” in the sense that he still does not know “if they are proud of what [il] made of what [il est]Of which [il est devenu]Of which [il devient]”. This feeling pains him greatly and makes his fear even greater.
