Faced with this beautiful message, the actor had difficulty hiding his emotion. He then declared: “So you convinced him to speak, that’s good… Yes, he’s going to do his first concert in LA on December 13. It touches me a lot, especially since he does it very seriously, with a lot of determination, with a lot of perspective and with a lot of work. It’s not easy, he’s going! He is a songwriter, producer in his language since he has two languages.” And to add about his role: “I’m here, I can sometimes avoid some pitfalls or ask him to have a look, but he knows perfectly well what he is doing and I think he needs to move forward alone and let his mistakes make him grow.”.

It scared me because I know this environment, but it also made me happy that he was finding his way.”. about his son! He admitted to having simply been “bluffé”. “I was amazed by his ease, his demands, his relationship with the public. He has worked a lot to get there, he writes, he composes, he produces: he will continue and progress further. But last night, he was there. He chose two titles in French which suit him so well and I am convinced that by singing in French, he discovered an emotion that he did not suspect.”he first detailed.

A privileged father-son relationship

Then the singer from Café des délices added: “I know that Léon doesn’t want to disappoint me, just like I don’t want to disappoint him.
