A video of French President Emmanuel Macron being playfully shoved in the face by his wife, Brigitte, upon landing in Vietnam has gone viral. The clip shows the First Lady pushing Macron’s face as he stands near the aircraft gate. Though startled, Macron quickly recovers, smiling for the camera. Initially dismissed by the French presidency, the video was later acknowledged as genuine. Macron downplayed the moment, calling it a joke between the couple. Aides described it as a harmless "couple’s squabble" before the official Southeast Asia visit. The incident has sparked light-hearted chatter online but no diplomatic concern.
