This year, three French footballers have risen to the top of the ranking of favorite personalities of children aged 7 to 14, according to the annual survey by Journal de Mickey and Ipsos. Here is the list of stars that young and old adore.
In 2023, football is in the spotlight and it is Olivier Giroud who dethrones Soprano (still in the top 5) as favorite personality of children aged 7 to 14, according to an Ipsos poll for Mickey’s Journal. The 36-year-old striker is therefore at the top of the standings, ahead of the captain of the France team and goalkeeper of the Blues, Hugo Lloris, closely followed by Kylian Mbappé, also named top scorer of the 2022 World Cup. Among the other favorite personalities of children, we find some singers, but also comedians, actors and even some Chefs, like Cyril Lignac or even Philippe Etchebest.
Footballers and singers in 2023 trends
This year, it is indeed the French football team which marked the minds of adolescents. Indeed, with Olivier Giroud, Hugo Lloris, Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann (in 5th place), there are 4 footballers in this top 10, without forgetting their coach, Didier Deschamps who comes 24th, but who still gains 12 places compared to last year.
The 7-14 year olds are also big fans of music. In total, 9 singers are in the top 20 (against 5 last year): Soprano, Big Flo and Oli, Dadju, Angèle, Slimane, Gims, Kendji Girac, Stromae and Louane. As for the singers Slimane (15th) and Julien Doré (22nd), they both gain 16 places in the ranking.
On his side, Thomas Pésquet continues to make children dream, since his stay in the international space station. The astronaut thus arrives 6th in the ranking of children’s favorite stars, although he has lost two positions. This is also the case of Soprano (4th), and Michou (7th) who remain among the 10 favorite personalities of young people.
