After several unsuccessful approaches, Laure Manaudou finally agreed to participate in the 15th season of “Dancing with the Stars”. Convinced by her brother Florent, the ex-swimmer intends to impress her three children. But her eldest daughter is a fan of another candidate…
At 39 years old, Laure Manaudou has agreed to take on a major challenge: that of treading the floor of Dancing with the starson TF1. A bet that the former swimmer and Olympic champion put off for a long time, for fear of not being up to the task.
Laura Manaudou “encouraged” by Florent Manaudou: “I always dreamed of knowing how to dance”
On January 23, it was on the arm of dancer Christian Millette – back in the show hosted by Camille Combal – that Laure Manaudou took her first steps on a chacha. In the columns of the magazine Pocket TVthe star of the pools expressed his stress on this subject. “Previously, I found that I didn’t have the personality to do it. I’m shy, I don’t like cameras and my past with the media isn’t necessarily cool. My brother, Florent, participated last year and encouraged me to accept”she confided.
For this mother of three children, embarking on this adventure is a real leap into the void: “I have always dreamed of knowing how to dance. I don’t know my level, maybe I will be surprised. Above all, I want to have fun, to have confidence in myself and in my body”. To meet the challenge, the one who lives near the Arcachon basin will be able to count on the unwavering support of her brother… Less on that of her children!
Laure Manaudou participates in DALS : his children “don’t really realize”
“My daughter, who will be 16 years old (Manon, born from her past history with Frédérick Bousquet, editor’s note) was super happy because there is Juju Fitcats in the cast and she adores her darling (fitness YouTuber Tibo InShape, editor’s note). The fact that I participated did not make him react”explained Laure Manaudou to the magazine. And for her to add: “As for my two boys aged 5 and 8 (Lou and Sacha, whose dad is her ex-partner, the singer Jérémy Frérot, editor’s note) they don’t really realize it. I want to show them that I take time for myself by being something other than a mother.”.
One more mantra for the former Olympic champion who, in addition to having abandoned the pools for the floor of studio 217, has also thrown herself body and soul into running. “I no longer swim, but I run. I will do the Paris marathon in April”she said. Before getting ironic: “I’ll have to do some preparation during DALS training. It’s going to be sporty!”
