WHAT'S TRENDING NOW: In the wake of the grand opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024, a photo of French President Emmanuel Macron and his Sports Minister, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, has taken social media by storm.
The image shows Macron appearing to hold onto Oudéa-Castéra's arm while she plants a kiss on his neck. The former professional tennis player is seen holding Macron’s bicep with one hand, her other arm wrapped around his neck in a friendly gesture.
The photo, featuring the 46-year-olds, has sparked a variety of reactions online. Some users compared the image to a next-level greeting, humorously highlighting the French flair for such gestures.
“Are they giving us the troop scene again?” a user sought. “I still haven’t gotten over ‘the leaking ball’,” another noted.
While many have taken a humorous approach, others defended the moment, calling it a simple friendly kiss. “It’s just a kiss,” one user commented, suggesting it was simply a “friendly kiss.” Another echoed similar sentiments, saying, “Cerfia anyway, it's just a kiss, well photographed to make it seem sensual: blush: it doesn't shock me I have a photo of a friend and I look like we're fooling around while we gave each other a friendly kiss.”
Jokes and playful comments continued, with one user quipping, “I know someone who will sleep on the couch lol.” Another added, “There will be jealous people.” One comment read, “It’s not even a hug anymore,” while another pointed out Brigitte Macron, France’s First Lady, with, “Beautiful reference to the crowd of the ceremony with Brigitte behind.”
“For me, it’s Brigitte’s face that I would like to see!!!” concluded another user.
