Patxi signs her return to the stage in the last bonus of the Star Academy
The audience of the Star Academy was already expecting an exceptional bonus for the Saturday November 23. The production dedicated this episode to Gregory Lemarchal. And for the occasion, several former TF1 talent show candidates came on stage to accompany the singing candidates. Among them, Patch was one of the most memorable alumni of the evening. The Basque artist became known in 2003during his participation in the Star Academy.

Although he did not emerge victorious, this passage allowed him to produce a single in 2004: English style. And during the last bonus of the Star Academyviewers were shocked to see this former candidate again. The singer does not seem to have aged a bit.

More than 20 years have passed since Patxi's participation in the Star Academy. However, the former academician seems almost so young in 2024 than in 2003. On Twitter, some Internet users also seemed more impressed by physical resemblance between the Patxi of 2024 and that of 2003 as well as by the singer's performances on stage.

In the comments, several Internet users confirmed this impressive resemblance. “At 22, he looked like a 12-year-old. And at 43, he looks like a 27-year-old. It’s crazy.”pointed out another fan.
“He was 22? And now 43? WoW”wrote an Internet user, impressed. “He has the fountain of youth at home…”commented another. In short, Patxi seems to be lucky on the side of his genes. While he has celebrated his 43rd ans on August 20, he looks much younger than his age.
