Claims have emerged that behind the airport video of the Ma Keu-rong (President) couple, which attracted global attention last year, there was a message from an actress.

According to Politico and others on the 13th, Florian Tardif, a journalist for the entertainment weekly Paris Match, recently published a book titled "An (almost) perfect couple" about the Ma Keu-rong (President) couple.

In the book, Tardif wrote that "First Lady Brigitte was furious after seeing a message from Golshifteh Farahani, an Iranian-French actress who arrived in Hanoi on the private jet bound for Vietnam."

He also made the same claim during an appearance on RTL radio. Tardif stated that "Ma Keu-rong (President) has maintained a platonic relationship with Farahani for several months," and regarding the conversation content conveyed by those close to the president, he added, "The level was quite significant."

It was further reported that the message included content such as "I think you are very attractive," drawing attention.

However, a close aide to French First Lady Brigitte Macron stated that she "completely denied claims that the argument with her husband Macron captured on camera during last year's overseas trip was due to suspicions of a relationship with the actress."

Meanwhile, in May last year, a scene was captured at an airport in Hanoi, Vietnam, where First Lady Brigitte pushed Ma Keu-rong (President)'s face.

At the time, an official from the French Presidential Office, the Élysée Palace, dismissed it as "fake news," and later explained it as "a joke," but did not provide an official stance. Ma Keu-rong (President) also previously clarified, "This incident was exaggerated. It was a joke with my wife."

Ma Keu-rong (President) was first elected as President of France in March 2017 at the youngest age in history, 39 years old. His wife, Brigitte, whom he married in 2007, was his high school teacher and is 25 years his senior.
