Breathier.

Yeah.

Well, so I spent, as part of this training, and I'm sort of jumping in here, but as part of this training, I spent like about two weeks in what was really a large basement in a castle in France.

I was going to be a French performer.

And there I was naked the whole time.

I was surrounded by an entourage who were doing my hair, makeup,

Everything to make me look natural as a child, but then like an elevated version of that nine-year-old child looking.

And then I was naked and they were dressed.

And that was to make me feel used to the fact that my body was going to be not my own, but was going to be worshipped and then an object of worship for the masses.

And of course, in France, you would be naked a lot on screen also.

That would be part of it.

So I had to be used to it, used to being naked.

So that took a little bit.

And then I did get used to that kind of, because these adults weren't like creepy.

There was also a photographer and everything.

And then I had, there was a large room with a piano in the middle.

And the person who was training me there was a famous composer, pop singer in France.

And, you know, he would prepare me for, you know, the singing, the choreography.

I was then... My mother in Belgium was then sending me to music school also.

And then he would... Yeah, he would just touch me.
