French actor and singer Philippe Catherine, who played Dionysus at the opening of the Paris Olympic Games, has made a public statement.
The singer said he apologized to the entire Christian community for any offensive behavior he may have caused.
Katerin emphasized: “If my stage image offended anyone, I apologize,” as reported by RIA Novosti .
In addition, the artist emphasized that he did not intend to shock the audience with his performance.
Sincere apologies
As Katerin pointed out, he himself was raised within the Christian faith and knows that such religious movements preach forgiveness.
The singer added: "I am sure the Christian world knows that there was a misunderstanding and the performance I took part in was not meant to offend anyone."
The opening of the Olympic Games in Paris was accompanied by a number of awkward situations that provoked public condemnation and censure.
Thus, a parody performance of the famous Christian work by Leonardo da Vinci, “The Last Supper,” was held.
