While we did not yet know the new director of Star Académie, viewers spoke out in large numbers on this subject. Among the names that came up very regularly, we found that of René Simard, a beloved personality of the Quebec public good, and has been for many years.
Crossed on the red carpet of the media premiere of the musical Waitress (see our photos from the evening here), we discussed the issue with him. Could he join the Academy’s team of experienced professors?
He started by sharing with us an anecdote that we didn’t know: “ I was supposed to do it at some point, but it ended up not working out for all sorts of reasons. I think it was a scheduling issue actually. Since then, nothing though. “, he says before adding: ” It would be a great experience. Time will tell. If it comes back one day, so much the better. »
However, he adds, regarding the new director of the Academy: “ I think Garou is going to do a great job. And Lara was amazing! »
If he was offered a role in the new version, what would his response be? “ I would seriously consider it. »
You can also find René Simard in two shows in which he participates, namely Le dîner de cons and La famille Addams, on tour throughout Quebec. Both are worth seeing!
Moreover, we met René Simard in the company of his whole family on the red carpet of the musical The Addams Family. See the family portrait here.
