He subsequently changed his mind regarding the views of others.

“I experienced a heartbreak that took a lot of things away from me,” he told Marie-Claude Barrette on her “Open your game” podcast.
“Because my grief was connected to the artistic environment. I cheated on someone in the industry which made me feel embarrassed about being a cuckold and I started thinking, “How do others in our industry see me as a cuckold?”. I felt like a guy, like I wasn't guy enough. I said to myself, 'You must be saying to yourself, 'Poor guy,'” he said.
He even says that this betrayal, at least temporarily, undermined his confidence and exposed his vulnerability.
“It is also clear to me that since then I have always had a syndrome of not being enough, which is transferred to several spheres. In my head I'm still a little boy. […] I want to be more of a guy, I want to be more protective,” said the man Marie-Claude Barrette sees as a mix of Roy Dupuis and Claude Legault.
In the episode, which has been available on YouTube since Monday, the 29-year-old actor talks about his passion for his job, which takes up the entire room, his doubts, performance anxiety and eco-anxiety, his mother's health, “who is “Coming Back on Track”, about fatherhood and about her four-year love affair with Marina Bastarache.

But there is also a lot of talk about perfectionism, the quality that can become a flaw in many of us. And he reveals that he sits down with his lover every week to take stock of their relationship, even when everything is going well.
“A perfectionist, that's my biggest mistake. It's so uncomfortable, doubt. Where in the head is the doubt? Is there a way to puncture this organ? As positive as doubt is, because sometimes when you doubt yourself, you triple your efforts to arrive prepared, but the doubt is yours, it starts with you and ends with you. I can no longer play with self-doubt.”
“With all my humility, I think I can be flamboyant if I don’t doubt myself. I feel invincible. I'll talk about the game: I understand my lines, I'm connected to the emotions. Why do I feel gross on Monday, feel like nothing on Tuesday, and feel normal on Wednesday? He wonders about his work on the STAT set.
When Lou-Pascal Tremblay talks about the medical daily written by Marie-Andrée Labbé and produced by Fabienne Larouche and Michel Trudeau, he experiences “the most beautiful gang trip” of his life and does not hide his admiration for his playing partner Suzanne Clément – he “loves with love” , as well as for Fabienne Larouche.
“I love this character, who is similar to me in some ways, but also really different,” said the actor, for whom it is a “privilege” to work with such intensity and with a lot of emotion, although sometimes he is no longer able to separate the person from the performer.

“It means that I play 12 emotions throughout the day and that I arrive at our house not knowing what I am.”
Anyone who builds another house with their partner “loves” their job.
“I am looking to experience all human emotions. The reason I love this job so much is because it stirs emotions in me. “The ultimate feeling is having a child,” he stressed, saying he sees himself becoming a father within 10 years, although the state of the planet, whether just in terms of the environment or health, makes him particularly nervous for his future heirs.
