In the great family of 12 noon shots, we ask Xavier. The young thirty-something is one of the most emblematic candidates. Between January and March 2013, the latter chained 76 participations allowing him to total 335,856 euros. He was asked to participate in the fight of the masters. Moreover, on July 2, he emerged victorious from the first part of the competition.
In an interview given to our colleagues at Tele-Leisurehe talked about his daughter, born a few months ago. “She is doing very well! She sleeps through the night, I know that few young parents can say that, so I say: ‘after a few months, she is already sleeping through the night’ (laughs). Like any father who is a bit gaga, I can tell you that she is the most beautiful girl in the world”, he explained before sharing a decision made for the good of his baby. “I don’t want to expose her to the media. It’s true that we broadcast a few photos during the Masters, but I don’t think anyone will be able to recognize this child. We just mentioned her first name on the show to that people can see it and know it. Some candidates and Jean-Luc had already seen it long before the Masters, like we form a big family. But with my wife, we don’t really want to publicize it. I doubt that we’ll see her in Les 12 coups in a few years”, he continued.
The one who will participate in Champions Quiz on France Télévisions also explained that he “would love to participate in Fort Boyard or Beijing Express”. “But no one ever called me”
Maybe that will change in the near future… or not!
