It has now been twenty years since Matt Pokora was revealed to the public thanks to the show pop stars and the group that grew out of it, the Linkups. If their first title, My star, was a real hit, the young man quickly decided to leave the boy band to pursue a solo career. And the least we can say is that he was right, since his notoriety took off and, since then, nothing has changed! Twenty years later, Matt Pokora is an artist who is still very much loved by his audience. His titles are successes and his concerts are always full! Moreover, the young dad is preparing to set off again on the roads of France for his tour Epicenter which will begin on June 10 at Paris La Défense Arena.
“Worst shape I’ve ever been in”
For this new tour, Matt Pokora wants to be in top form. After a few weeks of letting go, he decided to get back into sport. Four months after making this decision, he unveiled his physical transformation on his Instagram account on Saturday April 22. “Late last year, worst shape I’ve ever been in. Two months without sport and eating everything and anything during the promotion of the album. Here I am today four months later in the best shape of my life. Epicenter Tour, the 20th anniversary tour… here I come. I promised you a legendary tour and it will be the family!!!”, he wrote. All in the caption of a photo montage where we see him shirtless in December 2022 with a hint of love handles, and in the same posture but refined and all in muscles in April 2023. A publication which made Chris Marques react who jokingly commented: “Your before… This is me after 18 months of cutting and the total elimination of my Portuguese DNA.” The comment from the choreographer and juror of Dancing with the Stars has Internet users dying of laughter, as shown by the many hilarious emojis that have been posted.

A change in his professional career as well
If Matt Pokora made the decision to change physically, he took another one too and it concerns his professional career. Now that he is married and a dad, he wants to take another direction, especially in his music videos. For TV 7 dayshe explained : “Today, I no longer want, in music videos, for example, to show myself seductive or sexy… I would not be able to assume it in front of my children, my wife, or else, if I do, it’s like on Ouch, in English, with my wife, Christina.” A choice accepted and understood by his many fans.
