Benoît has become the greatest Maestro of the show Don’t forget the words on France 2. But how did the 31-year-old celebrate his victory? During an exclusive interview with TV Actu, he gave the answer and it’s surprising!
Benoît made the history of the show Don’t forget the lyrics on Saturday January 18, 2025. The 31-year-old photographer managed to overtake Margaux, who had been at the head of the ranking of the best Maestros of the France 2 game for almost 5 years. From now on, it is he who sits proudly with, for the moment, 82 victories on the clock and 569,000 euros in winnings. Interviewed by TV Newsthe candidate revealed to us exclusively how he celebrated his big victory and his response is surprising!
“There were about fifteen of us”
“Honestly, I was a bit resting. I watched my victory live on my review Discord. There were about fifteen of us watching it together and crying in front of our cameras”he explained to us. Benoît is therefore not the type to party. However, the latter could have allowed himself this madness, he who for 2 years, did everything possible to learn as many songs as possible in order to get there. “The first people I informed of my number one place were Laura (her cousin, editor’s note) and Virginie (her roommate, editor’s note), who accompanied me at the start of the course.also told us the champion, who created a Facebook group especially for the occasion with them as well as her mother, Janine, and her sister, Héléna.
Don’t forget the lyrics: what is Benoît’s new goal?
In any case, Benoît is relieved to have reached this number one position. “The goal was really to overtake Margaux. Now that it’s done, the pressure is going down again. From now on it’s just fun! I’m going to try to go as far as possible”he had already told us. The young man now aims higher: “I’m stopping looking at the Don’t forget the lyrics rankings and I’m looking at the game show winnings rankings and we’re going to try to move forward in this one!” It remains to be seen whether he will manage to do better than Emilien des 12 Midday shotswho is close to 2 million euros in winnings, and by whom he is totally fascinated.
