President Emmanuel Macron has been struggling with crises and problems at the helm of France for years. High prices, the constant threat of terrorism in the country, unbridled migration, the war in Ukraine and malicious rumors surrounding his wife Brigitte (70) make life difficult for him. It’s no wonder that the head of state lets off steam by boxing in his spare time. According to newly published photos, friends and foes alike are wondering if his biceps are the result of a Photoshop trick…
Emmanuel Macron has been in the public eye for years. As a perfectly trained media professional, he knows: every gesture, every facial expression, every smile must be right in order to gain sympathy from the people as an authentic-looking statesman.
However, celebrities should, if possible, stay away from overly generous use of image editing. And not only since the mega scandal surrounding Princess Kate’s failed photoshopped family photo, which was even withdrawn by authorities.
Kate’s fake photo caused a stir in the woods around the world for days. Dissonant sounds that even a busy Macron could not possibly have missed. But has he also made a mistake?
In any case, fans, followers and critics are puzzled after the publication of two new photos showing Macron in some action against a punching bag. He strikes with a grim expression on his face. He’s about to strike – another declaration of war against Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin? Or is he training to shake hands with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer?
Normally, the president presents himself to the public, wrapped in fine thread. Macron is seen as athletic, but such an impressive upper arm muscle requires a (time) intensive amount of training. When you see him in a suit, you can only assume he has biceps like that.
In any case, the fighting spirit in his eyes is less impressive than his muscle game. The black and white photos show the 46-year-old in a black shirt. He focuses his concentration on his ‘opponent’ and strikes in ‘Rocky’ style. His home and garden photographer Soazig de la Moissonnière captured the moment.
Many are now wondering: could these biceps be real? Or was image editing used to aid in “training success”? “Show it off!”, some write, while others pay respect to the statesman and envy his “great shape at this age”.
Many also suspect that the photographer added a bit of digital to make the volume of Macron’s biceps “totally exaggerated.” What do you think? In any case, Macron is on everyone’s lips…
