49Florent Pagny is the second favorite personality of the French 2023. Without avoiding his cancer, he takes stock of his life and career at JDD this Sunday, January 7.
You are placed 2° in the ranking of favorite French personalities
I was very honored and proud when I learned about it. But I'm not going to jump in either: the illness must have weighed in the balance. So, thanks again, Cancer!
You are now considered a message carrier
I see this through the numerous testimonies I receive from patients: it is as if I had taken on the role of a clairvoyant, even if I do not get up in the morning trying to tell myself about the illness.. You have to be directly affected by this problem to understand it. We enter another dimension.”
Cancer has not taken you away from your passion or your job
The illness did not stop me from singing, quite the contrary. My voice even became clearer. Because I use my lungs less than my air column, lower in the stomach.
Does the fear of a relapse prevent you from multiplying your projects?
Every three months, everything is called into question. Every two months, even, since I have to go for a new check on January 15th. I've gotten used to being fine, but a simple check can reshuffle the cards. If on January 15 the news is good, I will stay in Argentina until April. Otherwise, return to France to start treatment again, hoping that it works...
It limits the prospects. but I still want to return to the stage, for my 65th birthday. It will be in 2026, that gives me a little time…”
That said, on January 6, Florent Pagny published a video in which he announces a meeting in France in May 2024.
