Katerine Philippe

Philippe Blanchard, known as Philippe Katerine, is a French singer-songwriter, actor, director, cartoonist, writer and visual artist, born on December 8, 1968 in Thouars, in the Deux-Sèvres department. In 2024, he will participate in the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. Performing the song Nude dressed in simple briefs and covered with blue make-up, the singer caused embarrassment among some spectators, some of whom thought it daring, others confused the scene of the feast of the gods of Olympus with the representation of Christ's last supper. Broadcasters, such as NBC in the United States, prefer to replace the board with images of the national Olympic team or advertising spots.
