A year after his 58 victories and his 457,000 euros in winnings, Laurens, 24, continues to impress viewers of Don't forget the lyrics. With his number 2 place in the Maestros ranking, just behind Margaux, the young Toulouse native is back this year for the 2024 Masters, where he reached the semi-finals.
Questioned by our colleagues from TV StarLaurens spoke about this return with fanfare in the adventure of Don't forget the lyrics. When he reappeared on set for the Masters, Laurens confided that he was very happy to find a setting that he knows so well. “It was a great joy for me to see everyone again.“, he explains. By facing the biggest candidates on the show, he savors each victory, but prefers to remain modest in the face of his accomplishments, ensuring that he does not get a big head. “It's just a game (…) It's not the feat of the century“, he adds. During the quarter-finals, he beat Manon (n°5) and qualified for the semi-final, where he will face Étienne (n°17). A match which he does not is not a little proud: “Being one of the 4 remaining out of 32 makes me very happy!“

Last year, the Maestro had accumulated the tidy sum of 457,000. But then, where did this money go? With his winnings, Laurens has very specific plans: “I am keeping them to invest in a future real estate project. In the meantime, I'm having fun. I bought myself a pair of skis and I treat myself to slightly more high-end products than before“, he confides. We will have to wait a little longer before the candidate seriously begins to squander the contents of his kitty.
