Coming from the kingdom of “Intervilles” (Mont-de-Marsan), Léa Stassinet was rocked by the “Nouvelle Star”. She never misses the Césars or Eurovision, synonymous with prediction evenings with friends. Passionate about tennis and politics, she follows all election evenings, except during Roland-Garros.
The candidate confided to her comrades that she had participated in the filming of the video for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which notably featured Zinédine Zidane.

The rest after the ad
His comrades were speechless. In a sequence from the “Star Academy” broadcast live, visible on TF1+ Premium, Marguerite, candidate for this new promotion, revealed that she had already been seen by millions of viewers around the world, before joining the TF1 talent show. If his face told you something, it might be because you saw him in the clip for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games which opened the competition last summer.
“I’m the girl in the yellow car”
During a meal with the other students, the young 24-year-old Parisian returned to this episode. “I opened the Olympics. I am in the film at the beginning with Zinédine Zidane. I'm the girl (sic) in the yellow car with the glasses. And also, at one point, he passes a café terrace and there is a Parisian woman who falls, it’s me“, she revealed, provoking the admiration of the academicians. “Wow damn! Amazing !“, reacted Marine in particular. It was enough for fans of the program to go and find the extracts from the clip where we see Marguerite but also the football legend.
Several students already seen on TV
And Marguerite is not the only one in her class to have already made an appearance on the small screen. Marine, for example, participated in “The Voice Kids” when she was younger, in 2015, on TF1. The young northerner who was then 14 years old had performed “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele, without convincing the coaches at the time (Jenifer, Louis Bertignac and Patrick Fiori), who did not look back. “Keep singing,” however, Jenifer advised her, to which she obviously listened!
Maïa, another academician, for her part cut her teeth on France 2. The young woman from Drôme and named this week with her partner Thomas, in fact participated in Nagui's musical game “Don't forget the lyrics” . When she entered the set, she performed “Isn't She Lovely”, by Stevie Wonder. A sequence which was unearthed by Internet users during his arrival at the “Star Academy”.

With his rock group Les Baby's, the teenager then aged 14 had reached the semi-final of the game presented by Faustine Bollaert. Finally, Paul, a candidate eliminated during the 3rd bonus, had distinguished himself in a completely different field: cooking. The apprentice singer presented himself to the casting of “Objectif Top Chef” in 2019 under his real first name: Damien.
