So the first celebrity we're going to talk about is a football player, he's one of the most famous French football players or at least he's in the... I think, the five most famous. He's personally my favorite football player.

He played in different clubs. He played in Bordeaux, he played in Juventus Turin, he played in Real Madrid. He also had a great career in the French football team. He also helped France win the World Cup in 1998, since he scored two goals in the final, a final won by the French team 3-0 against Brazil. He was also a coach notably at Real Madrid between 2016 and 2021.

Whether as a player or as a coach, he has an enormous track record. He won the World Cup, as we said, he won the Euro football championship, he won the Champions League, he won the Spanish championship, the Italian championship, I think. He has an enormous track record. He also won the Ballon d'Or, which designates the best player of the year. He is a football player born in Marseille and of Algerian origin. His nickname is Zizou. And of course it was Zinedine Zidane. I'm sure you guessed it.

Second personality, we completely change register, we go from football to music. He is one of the most popular and well-known French singers of his generation. If I quote the popular songs, Il suffira d'un signe, Quand la musique est bonne, À nos actes manqués, Depuis tu pars or Au bout de mes rêves . What does that inspire in you?

The French appreciate him a lot for his music, the music he wrote for himself, performed himself, but also for his personality because he is someone very humble and very discreet. He retired from the stage in 2004, but he remains in the hearts of the French, since he was elected 12 times "Favorite Personality of the French".
