Celine Dion Makes Her Grand Entrance in Paris for the Olympics Amidst Speculation of a Comeback Performance – Hollywood Life
Celine Dion looked in high spirits as she arrived in Paris.
The Canadian singer teased that a comeback may be imminent in an April interview with Vogue France, in which she said: “I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!”
She also mentioned she was working every day to get stronger. “For four years I’ve been saying to myself that I’m not going back, that I’m ready, that I’m not ready… As things stand, I can’t stand here and say to you: ‘Yes, in four months,’” she said. “I don’t know… My body will tell me,” she added.
It turns out she may indeed be performing in front of the famous Parisian landmark, as the opening ceremony will take place in the form of a nautical parade along the Seine, culminating near the Trocadero, facing the Eiffel Tower. The ceremony, which will take place outside of a stadium for the first time in history, will showcase Paris’ iconic locations and bring together 3,500 actors, dancers, and musical performers.
The famed performer recently voiced a video for Canadian Olympians called “L’invincible Courage.”
The ‘Brave is Unbeatable’ campaign was created by The Hive agency and includes the 60-second spot ‘What We Don’t See’, which tries to shine a light on a different side of the athletes that audiences typically don’t get to see ahead of the Paris Summer Olympics. The ad was directed by Canadian filmmaker Hubert Davis and narrated in English by actor Michael J. Fox and in French by Dion.
