Before becoming President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron is a man proud of his wife. When he has the opportunity, the Head of State praises the woman who has shared his life for many years. This Wednesday, October 9, it is in the columns of Variety that he agreed to share some confidences. He notably mentioned the presence of Brigitte Macron in the series Emily in
Paris. The latter is present for a scene with Emily, played by Lily Collins. A fan of the First Lady, she asks her for a selfie.
A brief appearance in which Emily says: “I love France”. To which Brigitte Macron, who plays herself, responds: “And my country loves you, Emily.”
If this sequence only lasts a few minutes, Emmanuel Macron said he was very proud of his wife. “I was super proud, and she was very happy to do it,” he first said. But could he in turn make an appearance?
“I’m less attractive than Brigitte!” declares the president who therefore brushes aside the idea of having a cameo in the next season.
Emmanuel Macron: a president who appreciates the series
Emmanuel Macron affirms it: his wife had a good time during this filming. “It’s only a few minutes, but I think she had a great time “, he said, then praising the series. It takes place in the French capital and, even if it only highlights the positive things about Paris, Emily is living a dream life. “It’s good for
the image of France. Emily in Paris is super positive in terms of attractiveness for the country,” continued the Head of State before adding: “For my own business, this is a very good initiative.” A series which, despite the criticism, continues to be unanimously appreciated.
What if Emily left Paris to settle down in Rome?
In any case, that’s what the end of the last season seems to suggest. However, Emmanuel Macron does not have the same opinion. For him, it is in the French capital that viewers must find the young woman and her adventures. “We will fight hard for his return,” he said before adding: “ And we will ask them to stay in Paris! Emily in Paris in Rome makes no sense. After packing her bags in several places in France, will Emily decide to move to Rome? Where will she find her Parisian apartment?
