A change in daily life that he has often discussed in the media, he who wants to keep his head on his shoulders despite everything. “My status has changed, I believe Camille Lacourt said it but once you win, you become beautiful. It’s a sentence that really speaks to me because now, everyone comes to talk to me whereas two, three years ago, when I was in tough times, it wasn’t the same“, he confided on the set of Clique.
