The 25-year-old who’s been a clown for two decades

Lucien Santus has been a clown due to the fact he was four several years outdated, and is the seventh generation of a travelling circus household.

The 25-12 months-old performer describes circus life as remaining “really difficult”, but claims it arrives with glitz, glamour and “a great deal of mud”.

He has returned to the significant best soon after the pandemic forced him to choose on other employment, and despite the fact that he thinks it “sounds cringey,” he loves executing “because it’s pleasant to see other people today smile.”
