The head of state also admits to having been “super proud” to see his wife make her cameo.
“And she was very happy to do it. It's only a few minutes, but I think it was a very good moment for her. I think it's good for the image of France. Emily in Paris is super positive in terms of attractiveness for the country. It’s a very good initiative for us.”
As for whether he himself would ever consider making an appearance in Emily in Parishe responds again with humor: “I am much less attractive than Brigitte!”
Furthermore, we will note in this interview the passion ofEmmanuel Macron for French cinema of the 1960s. The president indeed cites One Hundred Thousand Dollars in the Sun (by Henri Verneuil, 1964), The Second Wind (by Jean-Pierre Melville, 1966) and The Tonton Gunslingers (by Georges Lautner, 1963) as his three favorite films. “I love this period of French cinema.”
