20 years later, Loana reacts to her photo with her daughter on the cover of Paris Match

With her chin raised and a resolute look, Loana Petrucciani assured this Saturday, November 16: “Everything is fine now. For once I can say it.” Faced with the columnists of the show “The Saturday Witness”, she recounted her resurrection: “No more drugs, it’s over. I was fed up with feeling bad. It’s not easy but with a lot of will and love – that of my mother – I got there. I want to be beautiful for my daughter, to go back to work… Now that’s enough. »

Star candidate for the very first French reality TV show “Le Loft”, Loana is an unforgettable figure in the paf. Tall, blonde and spontaneous, viewers have not forgotten her appearance on their television sets twenty years ago. Highly in demand since the release of the “Cult” series – last October – retracing the Loft phenomenon, Loana expressed her resentment to Cyril Hanouna.

On the set of “Touche pas à mon poste”, the real Loana returned to this “stolen” photo episode: “At the time I wasn’t angry. It was my mother who gave the photo, the journalists told her that it would be good to show a nice photo. Today, when I see her, I don’t regret it. This photo is extraordinary, I could even post it at home. »

Her daughter Mindy is now 26 years old, between her and her mother, relations are not necessarily always rosy: “We are very different, she doesn’t really like the fact that I am in the star system, she is more homely. She doesn’t look anything like me. We are twenty years apart, and she had a daughter at twenty as well, I am a grandmother. For the moment she prefers to live her family life apart. I tried to do my best, but she’s not ready… My door is open. »

Loana reacts to the “Cult” series

A real plunge into the early 2000s, watching the series “Cult” was not a simple walk in the park for Loana: “I wasn’t able to watch many episodes out of emotion. In a way, I’m still quite proud that after 20 years something is being done about me, that we’re showing what happened. I watched a little bit of it, but it’s weird seeing yourself played by someone else. »

To interpret Loana at 20, the actress Marie Collomb was chosen. About her, the now 47-year-old said: “She is adorable and super cute. I recognize myself quite clearly in her. I’m quite proud in the end. And finding my little pink top, the one from my 20s, I would have cried! »

Obviously very touched by the actress’s interpretation and the respect shown to her by the writers of the series, Loana admitted: “I would love to meet her. I would love to chat with her about how she felt about being me. At first I was against it but if in two days I am offered a coffee, then why not. »

For her part, the actress Marie Collomb also expressed her desire to meet Loana during her appearance on France Inter, a month ago: “I would really like to meet her because I found out so much on her, I feel like I know her. Now I’m waiting for feedback from the series and I’ve been following it on Instagram. »
