Michael Goldman thought a lot before agreeing to be the director of the “Star Academy“
A job that Michael Goldman hesitated to accept, as he explained to the Parisian : “To be completely honest, I hesitated for a moment to be part of this adventure and I said yes when I attended the castingbecause the kids made me crack. You see 200 young people pass by, you want to hug them all, help them. It lasted four days, but I love it so much I could have done it two months in a row. […] I think I know what viewers expect. It is above all a story of values and behaviors. You have to be humble and hardworking.“ It only remains to be seen whether the new director of the Star Ac’ will manage to convince his father to come and perform on the set with one of the students… as he was able to do in 2004.
