Like Camille Cottin, Jonathan Cohen, Juliette Armanet, Thomas Pesquet and Virginie Efira, Clara Luciani lent herself to questions from the group of Papotin meetings. The show, launched by directors Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache, brings together journalists with autism spectrum disorders. They take turns cooking the guest of the week by asking him questions to which the artist must answer in all sincerity. And this Saturday, November 9, it was the turn of the godmother of the latest Star Academy promotion to enter the arena. The young woman, who returns soon with a new album entitled My Sang which she dedicates to her family, including her son, who shared some secrets about her family life. “It’s a lot of things, but it’s scary,” she said when asked to describe her role as a mother.
During her pregnancy, Clara Luciani had exchanged by email with Françoise Hardy. The singer confirmed to her that fear would always be part of her life now that she was a mother. “A woman and singer, whom I loved infinitely, whose name is Françoise Hardy… We exchanged emails and she told me: 'You'll see, being a mother means worrying all your life.' And I'm starting to understand that.”she remembered with emotion on France 2.
Clara Luciani: the singer talks about her many complexes
During this intimate interview, Clara Luciani responded to a statement from a journalist, who told her that it was “thanks to beauty” that the singer had “breakthrough” in music. To this, the interpreter of My Sister answered in the negative. “Ah no, ah well not at all, rather the opposite eh… No, no, no, I don’t think that at all”she whispered, before talking about her complexes which have long been a subject of discord deep within her. “Actually, to be completely honest, I try to forget as much as possible about my physique and what I look like because otherwise it bothers me too much. And then I'm not comfortable with myself so I try to keep in mind that I'm a singer and therefore no one really cares what I look like. That I'm here to sing”, she confided before specifying, if she had wanted us to judge her physique, she would have been “model and more”.
A few minutes earlier, Clara Luciani told one of the speakers that her large size had been a source of teasing at school. “I was 1.76cm tall when I was 11, I didn't think I was pretty because I was constantly told I was ugly. And when you hear it all the time, it's hard to get rid of it.”she admitted, with tears in her eyes, before explaining that she had taken refuge in writing, reading and drawing to overcome the criticism. Upsetting words.
