Florent Manaudou continues his media transformation with energy. After his first steps as an actor, ex-boyfriend of Lola Duménil is preparing to reveal a new ambitious project, publicly supported by his life partner, Elsa Bois. Encountered on “Dancing with the Stars,” the two partners remain close. The young choreographer recently shared her enthusiasm on social media, hinting that this project will reveal an intimate and unexpected aspect.
An anticipated immersive documentary on HBO Max
Florent Manaudou is about to take a new step with a personal project to be broadcast on HBO Max. Titled “I Don’t Like to Swim,” this documentary series is described as “the poignant documentary series” depicting “the journey of an athlete facing himself.” The program promises a complete immersion into the swimmer’s daily life. It explores both his moments of doubt, excesses, and his sports discipline. In this way, viewers will discover a more nuanced portrait of the champion, away from the Olympic pools. This project also reflects a desire to tell his story differently, with complete transparency, to a curious audience.
Meanwhile, the announcement of this documentary comes with another important piece of news. Indeed, “I Don’t Like to Swim” will premiere at the Cannes Series Festival. This international event showcases the best productions from the small screen. For Florent Manaudou, this selection represents a significant recognition. Moreover, his presence at the event will have a special dimension. Located in Antibes, near the festival, he is familiar with the region. This context enhances the anticipation surrounding his appearance. Thus, this presentation shapes up to be a key moment in his new audiovisual career.
Between sport, comedy, and new challenges
While this documentary attracts attention, Florent Manaudou is also juggling multiple projects. Indeed, he continues his activities in swimming by offering training sessions recognized by the French Swimming Federation. These sessions, held in Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur, are experiencing great success. They highlight his commitment to his original sport. However, the champion is no longer limited to the pools. He is now exploring new horizons. This diversification illustrates a desire to build a rich and varied career. Consequently, he is gradually establishing himself as a versatile figure, capable of reinventing himself through various opportunities. Additionally, Florent Manaudou recently ventured into comedy. Last summer, he starred in the second season of the series “At First Sight,” broadcasted on France 3. He portrayed Jim, a brigade captain, alongside Lucia Passaniti. This experience marked his debut as an actor and confirmed his willingness to expand his range of expression. In this context, the support from Elsa Bois takes on a significant meaning. When she writes, “You are not ready for this,” she underlines the magnitude of the upcoming project. Thus, between personal encouragement and public visibility, she enthusiastically accompanies this new step.
