Vietnam, May 27: What was likely intended as a lighthearted moment between French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, has taken the internet by storm—fueling a wave of memes, jokes, and slow-motion replays. In a now-viral video, President Macron is seen standing in the vestibule of an aircraft, preparing to disembark during his official visit to Southeast Asia. As the boarding gate swings open, revealing awaiting media, two hands—belonging to Brigitte Macron—appear from within the plane and gently push the President’s face aside.

Though momentarily caught off guard, Macron keeps his composure with the grace of a seasoned statesman. Realizing he’s in the spotlight, he flashes a quick smile to the cameras, raises his hand in a confident wave, and then steps back inside the cabin. Moments later, the couple descends the aircraft stairs together—cool, calm, and collected.

Users on X dissected every frame, reimagining Macron’s bemused expression in slow motion, complete with dramatic captions.

“From French kiss to French slap,” one user quipped, summing up the internet’s irreverent tone. Another imagined Macron’s internal monologue: “Smile for the camera, no matter what.” Social media quickly turned into a stage for satire: Another playfully warned, “The President needs a peacekeeper…at home.” Someone even compared the First Couple to everyday partners: “Husbands and wives are the same—everywhere in the Milky Way.”

While the video sparked laughter and speculation,President Macron clarified, “We were just joking, as we often do.”

As Macron continues his diplomatic tour through Southeast Asia, with Vietnam, Indonesia, and Singapore on his itinerary, one thing is certain: he’s taking the meme-storm in stride—with humor, grace, and a knowing smile.
