“I am 71 years old, you have to be logical”: Patrick Sébastien lucid about his future and clear about his report at the end

Although off the air of France 2 – a channel which abruptly ended its broadcasts The largest cabaret in the world et The happy yearsr in 2021 -, Patrick Sébastien continues to occupy the media space. In full promotion of his new book The Carnival of the Ambitioushe has made numerous appearances in the media in recent days.

On Thursday October 31, 2024, the one who separated from his wife Nana was the guest of BuzzTV/Le Figaro. Faced with Damien Canivez and Sarah Lecoeuvre, he declared that it could be his last work. “Life will decide if it will be the last one or not… If I can do one next year… I do one about a year and now, I didn't want to do the chronology: j 'started like this, did that, did that…'he explained.

“I found it more interesting to do a kind of little philosophical treatise on ambition because it affects us all. It's very linked to our professions. And therefore to paint a portrait of the ambitious people I met. So there is a chapter on the presidents of the Republic and those I helped get started. I knew them at the very beginning and I see them now so I can very well decipher how they got there. I also talk about those who fell along the way and I think that speaks to everyone…”continued the one whose son Olivier Villa is the father of 4 children.

“I don't want to leave at all, but that's part of the order of things. From a certain age, you know very well that it could happen to you tomorrow morning… Unfortunately, there to whom it happens much earlier… Having already reached 71 years old, that's not bad!“added the host who will be Cyril Hanouna's guest in Facing Hanouna this weekend on C8.
