Guest of La Boîte à Secrets, on France 3, Friday January 17, 2025, Élodie Frégé (obviously) returned to her time in the third season of Star Academy, in 2003, which she won against Michal – who came to surprise her in the show. But it’s not just with the candidate that she kept in touch. There is also a teacher, whom she considers like her mother.
The Star Academy changed his life. In 2003, Élodie Frégé won the third season of telecrochet, against Michal. And his destiny was transformed. Since then, she has released four albums. Then she launched into comedy, first playing in Potiche (2010), by François Ozon, then by appearing in several films and series, but also by performing in the theater. “I had to apply when I was twenty“, confided Élodie Frégé about her participation in the Star Academy, in the show The secret boxon France 3, Friday January 17, 2025. And to add that it was not his idea: “I actually didn't watch that show that much. I was a little lost I think at that point in my life. I have two friends, Nathalie and Florent, who said to me 'But wait, why don't you send a cassette?' […] They told me: 'I have a camcorder, I'll film you.'“A cassette that she does not regret having sent, since it launched her career. But it also allowed her to meet Armande Altaï, singing teacher at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys at the time.
“We could be from the same family”: Élodie Frégé compares herself to Armande Altaï
For the show presented by Faustine Bollaert, Armande Altaï recorded a video for Élodie Frégé – who also received a surprise from Michal. “Élodie is so beautiful. Her natural complexion has a somewhat magical incarnation. She has the sweetest, most tender smile. It is unrealistically real. She is an absolutely unfabricated character, everything is tender about her, everything is caring. She looks like Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. She is a bit in the lineage of Delphine Seyrig, Lana Del Rey, Cate Blanchett of course“, declared the singing teacher. And added: “Gentlemen directors, quickly seize this fairy of the lake of mists. Dear Elodie, you have all my admiration and all my love forever.“
-Words that moved Élodie Frégé. “I love him. I really like Armande, it's funny because – perhaps some of you have said this to yourself, secretly – we could be from the same family. It could be my mother, actually. Or my lilac fairy [personnage de Peau d’âne, joué par Delphine Seyrig, ndlr] to me, my Delphine Seyrig to me. She also has something very bordering on magical. And I am very touched by what she says, and infinitely moved to see her again each time, she is someone who moves me a lot.“It showed.
