Jacques is one of the emblematic candidates of Koh-Lanta, The cursed tribe and you may have already seen him on television… Before he participated in the survival game on TF1.
After the departures of Maxim and Gustin in Koh-Lanta, The cursed tribethe ex-reds are less and less numerous. Indeed, within the reunited tribe, there are only three left: Cassandre, Ugo and Cécile. Facing them, the ex-yellows – Charlotte, Sophia, Thibault, Ilyesse and Jacques – continue to prosper without losing in number. After joining forces with Frédéric, Sarah but also Gustin, the dancer from Charente-Maritime continues to lead his boat in the middle of a sea of strategies. He is also a regular on film sets.
Jacques (Koh-Lanta, The cursed tribe) has already appeared on television several times, notably on the stage of Miss France
Jacques is not his first appearance on television. Indeed, the dancer who underwent extensive training at the Bordeaux Conservatory in classical, jazz and contemporary dance left for the other side of the Atlantic to learn about musical comedy on Broadway. But back in France after a stint in a cabaret, Jacques takes his first steps on television, far from torches, backpacks and immunity totems. The dancer, who also worked at the Lido de Paris at the time, participated in programs such as Miss France, The Happy Years, The Largest Cabaret in the World or even the Grand Show. A great experience which undoubtedly explains his ease in front of the cameras.
Jacques (Koh-Lanta 2024): this accident which could have cost him his dancing career
Behind his always apparent smile, Jacques Roque, his real name, experienced several tragedies in his childhood. In several extracts from the adventure show, he returns to the car accident in which his father lost his life and which turned his family life upside down. He told us about this: “Dad died instantly, it was violent. Mom was very psychologically weakened. Our grandparents were very present during this period. It was a passage in our lives that traumatized us all” a little later he spoke of the disastrous consequences that this accident could have had on his career: “I had a serious open fracture of the right femur with repercussions on the knee and ankle, which was operated on three times, the knee was operated on five times. I continued to fight to dance classical because For me, it was inconceivable to become a dancer in a musical or cabaret without having a solid foundation as a dancer, but it clearly damaged me to continue.”
