For their last AJA issue of the season, Sam Zirah invited Kelyan, a candidate from Secret Story whose secret, very original, left its mark on the public. He talks about the constraints of his job and shocks the YouTuber and his team.

The cult confinement reality show has been a real success since its return to the screen after seven years of absence. On June 18, Alexis won the grand final of Secret Story. This young footballer managed to beat his competitors Lou, Léo and Maxence after a season full of twists and turns and strong emotions. Alexis left with a check for 100,000 euros, but also with love. Indeed, he fell under the spell of Zoé, with whom he plans a future in Belgium. Among the most notable secrets of this season, we can obviously talk about Kelyan. The actor, who for a long time protected the secret “I am the French voice of the most famous wizard in the world”, was suddenly eliminated from the House of Secrets, at the gates of the final. Invited on the AJA set, he answers all the questions from Sam Zirah and his columnists.

Kelyan slowed down in his career because of Harry Potter?

This Thursday, June 27, Sam Zirah announced the last number of AJA season 4, his successful talk show broadcast on YouTube. For this occasion, the interviewer invited Kelyan, who marked this season of Secret Story. In a recent interview, The actor had admitted that he did not earn a decent living. If Daniel Radcliffe reportedly earned over $100 million for playing the wizard, how much was Kelyan paid on average for voicing the young wizard? “Harry Potter was very complicated in my career, in the sense that we didn’t want to put our voice on other projects. So, that slowed me down a lot in the profession. It’s still my job, but I don’t earn huge amounts of money, clearly!“ he answers frankly.

Kelyan (Secret Story) : “I negotiated very badly”

Taken up by Nicolas Waldorf, the second guest on the set, who asks him to be more precise. It executes: “For the first Harry Potter films, they were flat rates. Until the fourth, I received between 1,000 and 1,500 euros for the film.” A revelation that revolts the participants on the set. “And after that, there was what we call over-the-counter. So, I negotiated a little more,” he adds. “Either I negotiated very badly, at the same time, I was 14, or it’s the rates. There are no agents in dubbing. It’s still a very nice sum for two weeks! We didn’t know it was going to be such a success.”
