In 2010, season 4 of Secret Story was broadcast on TF1. Candidates who have become emblematic were then in the casting such as Amélie Neten and Senna, Julie Ricci, Stéphanie Clerbois or even Benoit Dubois who formed a great duo with Thomas Vitiello. At the time, the two men even nicknamed themselves Brigitte and Josiane and indulged in a lot of nonsense. Almost twelve years have passed since their meeting and despite everything, Benoît and Thomas have remained in contact. This is what the comedian mysteries of love revealed in an interview for At Jordan’sthe new appointment of Entertainment TV presented by Jordan De Luxe.
“He lives in London. I saw him again during the break between the two confinements, he came down to see his mother so I took the opportunity to have lunch with him“, explained Benoît Dubois. And for him to say more about the new life of Thomas, far from filming and other reality TV shows: “He’s fine, he lives in London, he has a great position as a make-up artist, he has changed physically, he has short hair.“He nevertheless specifies that”we recognize” the one who has shed several pounds over the years. “He did it Secret Story he was 17, so now he’s not very young, well, he’s not that old. But we recognize it very well.“
He was completely lost
Change of life was in any case apparently a necessity for Thomas Vitiello who experienced a dark period when he left school. Secret Story. “He needed to rebuild himself, at 17 it’s a big slap. He says it himself: it could have ended badly, he was completely lost. I had shaped her, the public had shaped her as ‘La Josiane’. He does not regret at all, the experience had to be done. When things were going badly, he left, I saw him less, he left for London. Me, I continued to be on the air and it was he who decided to stop to do make-up“, confided Benedict.
The latter, however, hopes to “do some theater with him again“, after their first piece on stage in 2012, Brigitte and Josiane do their comic out. Corn “for the moment“, he comes up against refusals from Thomas. It must be said that the young man who had the secret of being born a hermaphrodite now collaborates with prestigious luxury houses such as Dior. He nevertheless kept his pseudonym Josiane, he who flourishes in parallel as a drag queen artist.
