Boris Johnson with an open heart in C to you
During his interview with the star host, the politician, who speaks impeccable French, discussed many subjects which marked his mandate.
Among the themes discussed, he notably returned to the management of the health crisis linked to the health crisis, political scandals such as the Partygateas well as the impact of the Paris Olympic Games on the international scene. He did not, moreover, fail to mention Queen Elizabeth II, even revealing what the queen who died on September 8, 2022 would have told him about Brigitte Macron.
After a rhythmic interview, Boris Johnson reserved a scene as unexpected as it was hilarious. To conclude the exchange, the former British Prime Minister shook hands with Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine.
However, without measuring the force of his gesture, the politician crushed the presenter's handcausing a moment of embarrassment and laughter on set.
Internet users react to this handshake
In shock, Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine reacted immediately by expressing her surprise. “You crushed my hand“, she said.
Luckily, the one known for his untamable hair, corrected the situation and, with a little more gentleness this time, offered a more moderate handshake. A sequence which instantly created a buzz, adding a touch of humor to this interview already rich in revelations.
“But she's completely hysterical. She's making a fuss of it”, “What a scene”, “It's so embarrassing”, “Oooo ooh and ooh and ooh look happy”, “So ridiculous”, “The hysteric, she is completely devastated”, “Crazy Babeth”, several Internet users were outraged under an extract from the show posted online on the X account (formerly Twitter) of C to you. A moment that obviously not all viewers appreciated.
