It’s not given to everyone to know how to sing well, and Élodie Fontan knows something about it. A member of the Enfoirés troupe for several years, the actress, key figure in La Bande à Fifi alongside Julien Arruti, Tarek Boudali, Reem Kherici and Philippe Lacheau, is actually an extra and is not allowed to sing. It was the manager of Les Enfoirés Sophie Bazou, responsible for coordinating the celebrities during the concerts, who released the information a few years ago in an interview given to Tele-Leisure.
“She sang too out of tune” thus criticized the professional, who even revealed that her performances were even more disastrous than those of her friend Julien Arruti, who suffered the same fate. If some actors manage to surprise and sing well, such as Mimie Mathy, Kad Merad or Gérard Jugnotwithout ever being cut, this is not the case for everyone, and the star of Clem on television, orAlibi.com at the cinema, paid the price. A little humiliation that Elodie Fontan does not suffer, who remains enthusiastic and “too proud” to participate in this annual charity event, it doesn’t matter if she pretends to sing or not !
Elodie Fontan is far from being a special case. Before her, other artists were also deprived of singing. In 2022, rugby player Sébastien Chabal revealed that he acted as an extra for each of the performances in which he participated, and did not sing. This is also the case for Julien Arruti
acolyte of Élodie Fontan, who is not allowed to sing during performances. His friend and producer Philippe Lacheau released the information during an interview: “He sang too badly” he had fun.
