This Wednesday, the production of “It starts today”, on France 2, had brought together relatives of stars on the set of Faustine Bollaert, to talk about how they manage the celebrity of their sister, brother, father or mother . In addition to Manon Mittenaere, the sister of Iris Mittenaere, who recounted the harassment she suffered at school during the reign of Miss France and Miss Universe of her sister, we also listened to the testimonies of Guénaëlle Barrière , the daughter of singer Alain Barrière, and Joseph Chedid, brother of Matthieu Chedid, and son of Louis Chedid.
How Selim became Joseph Chedid again
He said that during years of career, he had preferred to use the nickname of Selim, on stage. A name that is familiar to him since it is his second. And then, everything changed when his family decided in 2015 to do a collective tour and to release a studio album recorded after this tour. This collaboration between the singer Louis Chedid and three of his children: Matthieu (known as -M-), Joseph (known as Selim) and Anna (known as Nach), was the territory of a metamorphosis for Selim.

He remembers “me this family tour, I was immediately thrilled because I said to myself ‘there we are going to experience something together’. And it was unique, we had this chance to be able to find each other, to be able to share that, to be on stage together. Despite our different careers, to be able to harmonize that, to live it in a fairly harmonious way in relation to the situation“.
You “have to be able to be together fully and you also have to be able to be on your way”
During this tour, Selim again became Joseph Chedid. He says : “On stage I realized that Selim was more me”. In fact, he considers today that in his life as an artist he “you have to be able to be together fully and you also have to be able to be on your way” and “that one does not prevent the other“.
