Strongman of the Wilds, Pierre, proclaims: "A greater equilibrium reigns."
Cologne, Germany - Actor Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss is thriving after his jungle camp adventure, according to the man himself. "My bank balance might be a smidgen higher, but my life ain't changed much," Sanoussi-Bliss, 62, shared with the press in Cologne. "I've been freelancing as an actor for over four decades, managing fine, never had to crash on someone's couch, and retirement's still a ways off," he added, casually. His biography drops in September.
Sanoussi-Bliss is quick to downplay the impact of the jungle camp, "Don't get me wrong, it ain't made me rich or nothing, but a couple times, an old lady's had the good grace to let me slide on a fine in exchange for a selfie," he chuckled.
