Hair loss, beard whitening… Édouard Philippe introduced alopecia to the French. During an interview with Le Parisien on his political ambitions, Saturday January 18, the former Prime Minister returned to his illness.
“I experienced having this disease that was neither dangerous, nor contagious, nor painful, but visible. Very visible. And I can say, because I experienced it, that losing all your hair and all his hair, it's anything but neutral”, testified the one who is aiming for the presidential election in 2027.
“It started to grow back.”
In just a few months, the politician's physique had completely changed. Through rumors and questions, Édouard Philippe finally admitted to suffering from alopecia, on television, in February 2023.
This disease is characterized by sometimes sudden loss of hair.
-But the former Prime Minister seems to be doing better. “Last June, it started to grow back, without treatment or surgery. It was funny to me,” he explained.
“Returned from among the bald”
The mayor of Le Havre could be cured. “I feel like I'm going through puberty again. And it turns out that the hair that grows back is black,” he testified to Parisian before joking: “I'm kind of back from among the bald.”
Édouard Philippe is getting back on track to launch himself into the 2027 presidential race.
