The star player is in France this week, where his club San Antonio Spurs is participating in two relocated NBA meetings.
His arrival arouses tremendous enthusiasm. Victor Wembanyama is in France this week! The star basketball player, silver medalist with the Blues last summer at the Olympic Games, is back in Paris where he is playing two relocated matches against the Indiana Pacers with his club, the San Antonio Spurs. The first of the two meetings this Thursday, January 23 has already delivered a nice show, while waiting for the second, this Saturday.
A visit to France also marked by numerous media interventions, for Victor Wembanyama. Among which: an appearance on TF1 at 8 p.m., presented by journalist Gilles Bouleau, Tuesday.
And it was more particularly the very last seconds of the interview which provoked many amused reactions on social networks. When, at the conclusion, the two men stood up to respectfully greet each other.

The difference in size between the two protagonists of the interview was thus obvious to everyone. “Net salary vs gross salary”, “He looks like a father with his kid at the end of kindergarten”, “His body is on TF1 but his head is on France 2” we could read on X; or even “Victor Wembanyama on the set of TF1 is the same height sitting as Gilles Bouleau”, “We're not much compared to Wemby, aren't we Gilles Bouleau?” as spotted by Le Figaro.

Does it look like a father with his kid at the end of kindergarten?

Indeed, 37 centimeters separate the journalist from the basketball player, their respective heights reaching 1.84m for Gilles Bouleau and 2.21m for Victor Wembanyama.
