The jury of “Dance with the stars” saw that Jean-Baptiste Maunier “jumped locks” in him during his performance on Friday evening on TF 1. But that was not enough.
The 30-year-old actor and singer, revealed at the age of 13 in "Les Choristes" alongside Gérard Jugnot, was eliminated in the final round.
But the artist does not regret anything, on the contrary!
He had entered this 11th season to give himself a challenge and left the stage with a smile, happy.
“I had a lot of fun, but I also worked a lot, at least 6.30 hours a day.
I also found a friend, ”he told us at the end of the show.
"This experience will be felt in my work"
A friend in the person of Inès Vandamme, his partner on the floor, who knew how to make him progress.
The professional dancer also congratulated him at the end of the show.
Because before the Covid, before being a dad in 2019, when Jean-Baptiste went to a nightclub, he stayed longer at the bar than on the track.
“I only moved my arms, I really couldn't dance.
"
So inevitably the progress was dazzling and visible in the show.
“This experience will be felt in my work I think, in my way of moving on stage.
At the first premium, the actor had danced a tango, which he preferred to the cha-cha on Friday evening.
It was not, however, the worst of the evening.
His duo landed 25/40, the lowest score, 21, went to Aurélie Pons, very hesitant in a poorly learned choreography.
The jury still marked the final ax of the adventure, after a lightning deliberation.
As for the new rules for challenges in duels, they “did not disturb” Jean-Baptiste Maunier.
“I had less pressure, I wanted to let go as much as possible.
“His relatives told him to be“ very proud ”of him, finding him“ courageous ”to embark on this TF 1 program seen by 4 million viewers.
