Thibaut Conan: an emerging talent in cinema
Thibaut Conan has fully immersed himself in the world of comedy. He diligently attends classes at a theater in Toulouse, led by an actress with whom he works on various aspects such as breathing and improvisation techniques. This approach aims to prepare him for castings, to teach him how to present himself more convincingly and to gain stage confidence, as explained by Mélanie Briand from the Popatex Company. This support is part of an effort to propel him towards fame. Indeed, Thibaut Conan seems destined for a flourishing career in cinema. He recently revealed to France 3 that a Parisian agency, Cristal, specializing in supporting actors with disabilities, wants to represent him and offer him a contract to participate in film shootings.

Thibaut Conan can rely on strong support in his journey. Affected by Sotos syndrome, a condition characterized by excessive growth, he benefits from the guidance of Eric Michel, his sports educator, who assists him in his rehabilitation. In fact, it was he who encouraged Thibaut Conan to pursue a career in cinema. As the coach of the young actor’s adapted basketball team, he sent the photo of his players for the film casting. Only Thibaut Conan was selected for the role. This challenge, brilliantly met, filled his sports educator with pride. Eric Michel now hopes that this experience will not be temporary, but will open doors in the cultural and social field.
