The one who is now called Pierre Nesta returned in 2022 to Tele-Leisure on his shattering departure from the Star Academy. “After 10 weeks in the castle, I had reached my limit. Filming night and day, classes, prime filming, I felt I had to step back quickly and rest. The pace was intense and the pressure was difficult to bear for a free electron like I was at the time”he explained.
Now 44 years old and father of a little boythe former candidate for season 3 of the TF1 talent show assured that he never regretted his gesture. “Going live was mainly to mark the occasion, as they say. You don’t have the opportunity every day to experience an uncontrollable live moment. I seized the opportunity! And then I always loved ‘starts with a bang’. It’s a good way to forget that in the end, we’re just another loser.”he clarified.
What happened to Pierre, candidate for season 3 of the Star Academy ?
Since its memorable release from the Star Academy 3Pierre Nesta has come a long way. “I have produced several albums, traveled a lot and shot music videos, notably in Jamaica which I explored a lot. I have never stopped making music, it is my only means of expression. I never stopped making music. I don’t like to talk much and I dance very badly, but most important of all, I became a father. That’s when life really begins.he detailed to our colleagues.
