“Between us Yannick Noah”. This is the name of the Europe 1 podcast dedicated to Yannick Noah. In 9 episodes (7 episodes available at the moment), the recent French winner of Roland Garros relies on this historic victory as well as more intimate topics such as his African roots, mentor Arthur Ashes, or the role of his father in his life. .
And not just because it deals with the effect that fame has on him. “We live as we want, but above all, to the best of our ability. There were times when notoriety stepped on me (…), it bothered me so much that I wanted to go into exile, I settled in America because I couldn’t deal with these constant things”, This is how the former tennis player admitted, who took an uncompromising look at some things done in the past. “I agreed to go and do some shows that looked so empty to me, where we pretended to be laughing, asking stupid questions. Sometimes I felt like I was on the verge of prostitution.”she let it out of her mouth.
Looking back, he recalls a painful memory of his time at Star Academy: “It was very painful because I really felt like a prostitute being there to sell a product (…) It was a necessary step because it was a great introduction to my project. But I wasn’t good”admitted that he was finally relieved by feedback from the public, especially sick children who were hospitalized, in the face of his passage, which was an opportunity to discuss the associations and causes he supported. “Like this Star Academy, I had a reason to do that, that I did it again later. It made sense of everything.”
In this podcast, Yannick Noah also discusses the impact his mother, Marie-Claire Noah, had on his life and the way he approached fame. “Two minutes after I got the car, the girls, the best table. I’m not content with that, neither my education nor my travel. (…) Success is interesting if it benefits the other party. (…) It gave me this dimension that I have lived so far”Yannick revealed that he touched Noah.
