A viral video of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte has sparked debate about the nature of their interaction. The footage, shot by an Associated Press camera operator in Vietnam, appears to show Brigitte pushing Macron’s face as they exited a plane.
However, body language expert Judi James says this interpretation is incorrect. She believes the gesture was not playful or “letting off steam” but rather a sign of physical confrontation. According to James, the hand placement and facial expressions suggest vulnerability and shock, with no reciprocal laughter or smiling from Macron.
James also notes that Macron touches his nose after the interaction, suggesting he may have been injured. The expert points out that despite Macron’s efforts to appear nonchalant, there is no reciprocation from Brigitte, and they do not touch as they walk down the plane steps.
The pair met in their teenage years, with Brigitte being 39 and Macron 15 at the time. They began an affair when Macron was 16 and eventually married in 2007.
