During the last broadcast of Don’t Touch My Post On C8, Cyril Hanouna asked Polska about her knowledge of Jean-Jacques Goldman. Unfortunately, the columnist showed a lack of culture since she believed that the singer “had died”.
Cyril Hanouna, visibly surprised by this response, had to put Polska back in his place by reminding him that Jean-Jacques Goldman is alive and well and still very popular with the French. “Bravo, eh. Always interventions that are full of common sense,” he said.
A magical encounter in Brittany
If Cyril Hanouna mentioned Jean-Jacques Goldman on his show, it’s because the singer created a buzz this summer.
In Finistère, an Airbnb hostess had the surprise of her life by welcoming Jean-Jacques Goldman into her apartment. Cathleen Fricard Jaccoud, a ceramicist based in Scaër, shared her story on social media.
On July 23, 2024, Cathleen rented her home to a couple who had come to go cycling in the area. The next day, when she picked up her property, she met her guests for the evening, without knowing at first who she was dealing with. “They were delighted with their stay in my apartment and enjoyed eating from the dishes I make.”she says.
After a few minutes of discussion, Cathleen finally realized that her tenant was none other than Jean-Jacques Goldman. “Wait a second, are you Jean-Jacques Goldman?”she asked him, surprised. The singer confirmed with a smile.
The simplicity of Jean-Jacques Goldman
Cathleen describes this chance encounter as “a magical moment”. Despite the revelation, “The dynamics changed slightly, but not the warm atmosphere.” The couple even agreed to take a photo with the hostess, “a memory I will cherish forever.”
Cathleen confides that Jean-Jacques Goldman revealed himself “even more humble, warm and joyful” than in his imagination. “This meeting, although fortuitous, was a precious gift,” she confides, delighted to now be able to reveal to her tenants that the star stayed with her.
A visit that also serves as a “real publicity stunt” for Cathleen’s ceramics business. “The few people who have come since, to whom I told that Jean-Jacques Goldman had come, were happy to be in this apartment at that time”she says.
Jean-Jacques Goldman, who has been enjoying his retirement for a long time now, remains as popular as ever among the French. His popularity is likely to increase further after this incredible story.
