French President Emmanuel Macron Kissing A Man? Fact Check

A video circulating on social media shows French President Emmanuel Macron appearing to kiss another man while on a boat. Many social media users have shared the video, claiming that the 46-year-old Macron is kissing an unidentified man. However, the video’s origin is unclear, and some users suggest it might be a deepfake.

French influencer Alexis Poulin shared the video and also posted a thread featuring the cover of the French tabloid Voici. This magazine had exclusive photos of Macron, including one of him in beachwear at his summer home in Fort Bregancon. One photo shows a man holding Macron by the wrist, which might have been used to create the fake video, according to French fact-checker Estado. The magazine’s photos do not show Macron kissing anyone.

Previous Incident Of Kissing

Previously, during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony, Macron and French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra were photographed in a moment that drew media attention. Oudéa-Castéra was seen holding Macron’s head and kissing his cheek. This moment was captured by Agence France-Presse, and Madame Figaro called it a “curious kiss.”
