“Les Enfoirés 2024”: how long has Jenifer been part of the troupe?

Music news

The “Enfoirés” troupe is back, this Friday, March 1, on TF1. On this occasion, we take stock of one of the key figures of the event: Jenifer.

This Friday, March 1, TF1 invites its viewers to discover the 35th “Enfoirés” show. Alongside many French stars such as Soprano, Santa and Gaëtan Roussel, Jenifer will be there. In an interview given to 7 Days TV, next to Nolwenn Leroy, as part of this broadcast, the 41-year-old singer returned to her attachment to “Enfoirés”.

When she was only six years old, the winner of the first edition of the Star Academy still remembers the year when Restos du Cœur saw the light of day. It was 1989. “ I was already climbing on the tables to sing and I was collecting! “, she says.

Jenifer, an old one?

His engagement is dated! The singer joined the troupe in 2003. Now loyal to the “Enfoirés” for two decades, the star doesn’t believe it. “ Personally, I can’t realize », she confided, observing the passage of time with humor: because I’m a bit like the ‘Dory’ (Editor’s note, character from the animated film, ‘Nemo’) of the troupe, who makes blunders and forgets things, like this year, when I went on stage with the wrong costume “.

An observation which also made Nolwenn Leroy smile, who shares the same experience as the star of “ Under the sun “. “ It’s true ! And there was this little quiz, behind the scenes, about the figures of the Restos on the previous years of the Enfoirés, and we were told: ‘Ah but, in fact, you are one of the oldest, with Patrick Bruel, Julien Clerc, Jean-Louis Aubert and Zazie! », she added while she shared the same microphone as Jenifer.

If the Restos du Coeur have been running for so long, Jenifer doesn’t seem to want to say goodbye to them any time soon.
