I just saw this video facebook and I was unprepared for Brian tears at around 1:30ish and now my soul has died. Someone please tell me what he was talking about?

Thanks for posting that, GermaricanMix - I'm in the middle of watching it, and I've arrived at the place where Brian tears up. My French is all but non-existent, but... I think he's talking about his father? That his father would have much preferred him to play football (soccer) - I think he said that his father had never attended any of his competitions? I'm really not sure about that, and i'd hate to be one to run around starting false rumours! So, please, someone who actually knows French.... maybe bartlebooth will be an angel and help us out yet again? Anyway, my thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
There you are:
Brian:
00:37 I am now in Paris to live this adventure of DWTS, and I'm happy to be here.
Even if I've been skating for 25 years, it doesn't mean that I'm going out there on the dance floor and master everything easily... conversely, I think that it's going to be very difficult.
I'm a bit worried about working in harness with somebody, I think I'll feel awkward, because I'm not a great talker, I tend to keep to myself, I'm reserved.
I always felt closer to my mother than to my father. As a boy, the fact that he never attended my training or competitions disappointed me, because I felt that he wasn't interested at all in what I was doing. I think that he would definitely have preferred me to do football (soccer). I'm sure that he'll watch DWTS on TV... I don't necessarily want him to be proud of me. I'd only like that when he sees me – I hope he'll feel like moving [the word is bouger. I think he means something like “dancing along”]. I'm not saying a word more about that.
2:21 Basically, I'm a very reserved person, and for this kind of dance I need to convey my emotions, with a partner that I don't know well, it's distressful
3:05 Katrina: ...Disappointment, rage, sadness... Can you find anything in your personal experience that may help you to express this?
Brian: Well, when you say this, I think of my relationship with my father: there's always been a difference, a wall between us two. I felt sad, disappointed, angry, all these feelings...
Katrina: I want you to think of your personal experience in order to convey real emotions.
Brian: [something I don't understand] I mustn't retire into my shell. Come what may.
I'm not very fond of DWTS, but Brian did fairly well and I wish him all the best.
I share your emotions here. It's so sad that his father hasn't been very supportive. It must be a bit hard for every boy to be a figure skater, because the other boys often make fun of you cause they think it's a girly sport. But that your own father thinks like that, must be even harder. Brian has talked about this issue before and it's awful that it still bothers him. But I don't think he is really that reserved person because he can talk about it on TV!
I was actually surprised how well he danced. I hope he will go far! The next dance should be the walz if I understood correctly: http://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/...es-stars-Brian-Joubert-entre-en-piste-2060462
