Speeding around the Med on a jetski with his biceps on display, you might think this was a Hollywood star filming a set-piece for an action movie.
Au contraire – under those tinted sunglasses it was French president Emmanuel Macron enjoying a summer getaway in the south of the country.
And while critics may question how much political muscle he has flexed during his eight-year presidency, there was no doubting the 47-year-old was in good shape.
He showed off his muscular physique and six-pack stomach as he posed topless, wearing only black swimming shorts aboard a yacht with wife Brigitte, 72, and their friends near Fort de Bregancon on Thursday.
The French leader is no stranger to a jetski and has often been spotted ripping along the waves in recent years.
Meanwhile, Mrs Macron decided against motor sports, opting to stay on board as she sported a white jacket, white cap and sunglasses while she chatted with two female friends.
She remained on the top deck while her husband enjoyed a laugh with his bodyguards on the side of the boat.
The French president's holiday came just a day after he took part in a phone call with Donald Trump and other European leaders ahead of the US leader's summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska yesterday.

And the couple's getaway was possibly just what the doctor ordered, as it comes just months after Mrs Macron was caught on camera shoving her husband in the face.
The incident happened as the couple touched down in Vietnam in May, but the French president brushed it off as just a joke.
Fort de Bregancon is a medieval fortress off the French Riviera and has been the official holiday residence for all French premiers since 1968.
