French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Vietnam did not have a great start following the embarrassing situation immediately after the plane landed.
In a viral video that has garnered attention and critics online, Macron is seen being smacked on the face by his wife Brigette.
It is clear the couple were having some misunderstanding when the airplane door opened without their knowledge.
Shortly after, the wife’s hand suddenly appeared and smacked him on the face. Macron, realizing the exposure maintains his composure, waves the crowd, and moves away from the door.
As the couple were descending the stairs, Macron offered her arm to Brigette who denied and opted to hold hmtge rails.
Macron’s team claim the couple were just having a little fun. This claim comes after their initial argument about the video being fake.
Emmanuel Macron is the youngest member of his family. The 47-year-old is married to 72-year-old Brigitte. All of Brigette’s sons are also older than their stepfather.
