Saturday January 21, Dave was the guest of Matthieu Delormeau in TPMP People. The singer delivered without filter on his participation in Mask Singer in the second season. A decision strongly motivated by the health crisis of recent years.
This is undoubtedly one of the faces that TF1 viewers did not expect to discover under one of the costumes of Mask Singer. In 2020 during the second season of the program won by Larusso, it is Dave who had been unmasked in the costume of the samurai owl. A surprising decision from a singer whose only appearance on a game show as a contestant was in 2016 and the first edition of the Best Celebrity Pastry Chef on M6. A year later, he had already been candid about his participation during his time at Jordan de Luxe: “I was frustrated to a point you can’t imagine! This is the last time I’ll do a TV show where I’m like, ‘But what the hell are you doing in this mess? Luckily you are well paid!‘ That’s what I thought. The outfit weighed 30kg! It’s heavy, it’s boring!” he revealed.
“At 20,000 I wouldn’t have gone there“
guest of TPMP People this Saturday, Dave did not escape some teasing from Matthieu Delormeau about his time in Mask Singer. Intrigued, the host also asked him if it was really the money that made him play the game.”For money. We are in full confinementa singer like me lives above all through concerts, through the stage. The scene stopped for 2 years, my rent no” he simply replied with his characteristic honesty. If he could not reveal the amount of his in-game remuneration due to a confidentiality clause, the 78-year-old singer still discarded a range deemed too low: “What is 20-30,000 balls?” throws Matthieu Delormeau, definitely nose in his finances this Saturday. “It’s blurry eh, at 20,000 I wouldn’t have gone there“replied his guest, laughing. Did TF1 take out the (big) checkbook to convince the Dutch singer to participate?
