Revelation of the new edition of “Dance with the stars”, Julie Zenatti has evolved during bonuses. Very stressed at the start of the adventure, she now takes pleasure in dancing and reclaims a body with whom the relationship has not always been simple! Excluded interview.
Julie Zenatti has been giving voice with sincerity and commitment for 25 years already. This April 25, she released her 9th album called The path And begins a tour of the churches. The 44 -year -old singer is also one of the revelations of the new edition of Dance with the stars, on TF1. We exchanged with this bright artist concerning this adventure which transformed it! Exclusive interview.
How are you ?
Julie Zenatti. I’m a little ruffled (laughs) but it’s okay!
You were felt anxious at the start of the adventure but you seem to be released over the premiums. Is this the case?
I actually feel better in my body, on the parquet floor and in the adventure in general. In fact, I really went to have fun and at the start, the pressure was too strong. Finally, I was putting myself a pressure that was too important and I realized that as soon as I started to have fun a little, a little magical things happened because, when you do not control everything, sometimes there are good surprises (laughs)!
What was your relationship with dance before starting this adventure?
I always found it very beautiful. Like many little girls, I did a little bit of dance but it was not at all a discipline that suited me in the sense that I had the impression of not necessarily having the body, or even tenacity to be able to dance.
Have you not been afraid to exhibit yourself physically?
It was at the same time a fear and a challenge because I fought a lot with my body. From time to time, he reminded me of order and he told me that I was shooting too much on the rope. And every time I listened to her a little late. On the other hand, I am 44 years old and two children who grow up and I have to think of myself and that I take my body. I think I completely accepted my body as a mom but not at all that of a woman. Through this adventure, I decided to give myself the means to try to explore this new femininity.
“I had a stroke of heart For Charlotte de Turckheim, Adil Rami, Lénie and Mayane “
This year we have the impression that he reigns a very good atmosphere in the adventure.
Indeed the casting is incredible! Its great strength is that we are all very happy with our journeys in general. There is no frustration, whether artistic or sporty. We are in the same adventure and especially in the same galley. We are in competition with ourselves, because we all have little things to settle, and we live all this in a good-natured way. We support ourselves a lot and we help ourselves a lot. It’s like a colo (laughs)!
Have you had friendly favorites for some candidates?
Yes for Charlotte de Turckheim already but at the same time, it is complicated not to have a crush on Charlotte, especially since it is reciprocal. I also had a real crush on Adil Rami. I did not think, because what a priori, our two worlds oppose: I am rather someone shy when he is rather extroverted. It is someone I like a lot, who is very tender, who has a nice story and a beautiful family. And then I had another crush for Lénie. She is very young, but I find myself a little bit in her, not for her qualities as a dancer, obviously (laughs) but in her fragility, in the woman she is becoming and then with all the questions she asks herself. I could also talk about Mayane, because it is an extraordinary meeting. Having a Mayane in your life is looking at life on the right side and with a lot of optimism. But I had time to forge special links with each candidate.
However, you have been criticized on social networks, especially when you have been better rated than Lénie by Kamel Ouali. How do you manage these sometimes derogatory remarks?
It is never a pleasure to be attacked. In addition, anonymously and a little for free because, in the end, I did not ask that I was told that I was great. It always touches me, but it is true that I take it with humor, because ultimately it is not very important. I know where my fight is and where is my life. What touches me the most is to receive messages from women and young girls who tell me that they find me super courageous and that they would never have dared to do that. What touches me is to tell me that ultimately, despite my complexes, my story and my life as a teenager, then a woman and mom, found an echo with people.
