In January 2022, Florent Pagny revealed that he had lung cancer through a moving video posted on his social networks. Since then, the singer’s state of health seems to have improved. However, he prefers to keep in mind that nothing is decided yet. “I gave myself a chance. I stopped a treatment. So I then started this treatment again. I started other treatments which require going there every three weeks. The new examinations show that it disappears . But now, I don’t let go of my treatment anymore! Today, I lay low, I stop bragging because it comes, it goes, I make it cool…”,he confided in a recent interview with the magazine The cultural craving.
Since the release of his autobiographical book Pagny by Florent, the artist continues the interviews. Not long ago, it’s in the podcast Elodie’s World that the interpreter of Know how to love was indulging. An opportunity for him to return to his rivalry with… Patrick Bruel. Longtime friends, the two acolytes have been put in competition for film projects.

“The least interesting proposals”
“It is part of cinema encounters since where we were [dans nos carrières], we were already in competition all the time! Already in the castings, there were two left, it was Patrick and me. And for a while, we didn’t meet and I only heard his name, and he too on the other side of course”explained Florent Pagny before continuing: “Well, sometimes it was him, sometimes it was me. Finally when I think well, I always had the least interesting proposals, I would say.
Aware of the talent of his comrade, the former coach of The Voice does not seem to blame Patrick Bruel. “VSIt was Patrick who had the films that shed more light on him and allowed him to become what he has become: he is a bankable actor as they say”. And to conclude:“The three films that I was able to do, I was three black cats for those films… They did not move in the box office.” Faced with failure, Florent Pagny therefore decided to draw a line under the 7 art to devote himself fully to the art he masters best: music!
