It was in 2003. Jenifer was 21 years old, she was the winner of “Star Academy” and she found herself propelled into the spotlight at the Parc des princes with Johnny Hallyday to perform a duet “I promise you”.
Intimidated, the singer was also pregnant. Enough to create an emotional tsunami, as she confided on the set of “What a time!” Saturday, on France 2.
“It was so scary, especially since I was still a baby, getting to know the scenes and meeting the audience. And I met his audience, with him, she said. I was on edge. My hormones were surging. I was pregnant with my first boy.”
Before admitting: “I had just given in before going on stage, I was afraid he would smell my breath.”
If she was afraid that Jonny Hallyday would “regret having invited her”, Jenifer still has lasting memories of this moment, especially since she was able to reconnect with the rocker in a more serene way. “We had the opportunity to see each other again, to sing together again, it was one of my best encounters,” reveals the mother of three boys.
