Moments later, he signals for her to follow him with, 'Let's go,'' the lip reader said. The lip reader added, 'But at the top of the stairs, things turn icy again. He offers his arm; she ignores it, choosing to cling to the railing instead. As she passes, she appears to mutter, 'Dégage, espèce de loser,' translated in English, 'Stay away, you loser.'' The lip reader said that Macron said moments later, 'Essayons, s'il te plaît' — which translated to, 'Let's try, please?' Brigitte replied, 'Non.' 'His closing expression, and the phrase lipread as 'Je vois,' translated in english 'I see' says it all,' the lip reader said. 'Hot Take: A rare unguarded exchange that hints at deeper tensions between the couple. One to watch, especially with a packed diplomatic schedule ahead.' Macron appeared shocked after being shoved by his wife, but seemed to recover quickly upon realizing the public would be watching. While heading down the staircase, Brigitte did not take her husband's arm. While Macron's office initially said the footage was not authentic, it later confirmed that it was actually genuine. 'We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,' Macron said of the incident, claiming that the video was being overblown into 'a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe' by his enemies. 'People are saying all sorts of nonsense. Everyone needs to calm down,' he added.

Lip reader reveals what French President Emmanuel Macron's wife Brigitte said moments after shoving him in the face
French President Emmanuel Macron's wife delivered a scathing four-word remark just moments after shoving him in the face, a lip reader has revealed. Shocking footage showed Brigitte Macron, 72, place both hands on her husband's face before shoving him firmly just moments after the president's plane door opened upon arrival in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, on Sunday evening. While the embarrassed-looking leader claimed the pair were 'squabbling,' a professional lip reader has since decoded the shocking exchange. 'As the aircraft door opens, President Macron is seen turning toward Brigitte. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face,' a lip reader told The Express. After the door opened and Macron noticed that the cameras were on him, he then said 'Hi' before raising his hand. 'Emmanuel then steps closer to Brigitte before composing himself and crossing to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her to follow him with, 'Let's go,'' the lip reader said. 'He thanks the pilot and waves at the cameras, trying to recover the public-facing image.' 'But at the top of the stairs, things turn icy again. He offers his arm; she ignores it, choosing to cling to the railing instead. As she passes, she appears to mutter, 'Dégage, espèce de loser,' translated in English, 'Stay away, you loser.'' Moments later, the lip reader claims Macron said, 'Essayons, s'il te plaît' — which translated to, 'Let's try, please?' She then responds, 'Non.'

'Hot Take: A rare unguarded exchange that hints at deeper tensions between the couple. One to watch, especially with a packed diplomatic schedule ahead.' Immediately after the shove, Macron, 47, appears startled — but quickly recovers when realizing he is in the public's view. Brigitte then didn't take her husband's proffered arm when making her way down the staircase, where Vietnamese officials greeted them. The French leader's office initially denied the authenticity of the footage, but eventually confirmed it was genuine. The president has since tried to downplay the ordeal. 'We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,' Macron said Monday, adding that the incident was being overblown into 'a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe' by his enemies. 'People are saying all sorts of nonsense. Everyone needs to calm down,' he added. The duo, who have been married since 2007, first met in 1993 when Brigitte was a 39-year-old high school teacher and Emmanuel was her 15-year-old student and a classmate of her daughter.

What Did Macron's Wife Say after Shoving Him in the Face? Lip Reader Reveals Brigitte's Four-Word Remark Made to French President
French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte, uttered a scathing four-word remark just after she was seen shoving him in the face with both her hands, a professional lip reader has revealed. The shocking incident took place as the couple exited their plane in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Sunday evening. In the footage, 72-year-old Brigitte Macron is seen pressing her hands against the president's face before firmly shoving him in the face in a brief but tense exchange, after the plane's door opened. Although Macron brushed off the incident as a simple "squabble" between the two, the lip reader's analysis has revealed the confrontation may have been more heated than it appeared. The Scream and the Shove "As the aircraft door opens, President Macron is seen turning toward Brigitte. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face," a lip reader told The Express. Once the door opened and Macron realized that the cameras were on, he greeted the crowd with a "Hi" and lifted his hand in acknowledgment. "Emmanuel then steps closer to Brigitte before composing himself and crossing to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her to follow him with, 'Let's go,'" the lip reader said. "He thanks the pilot and waves at the cameras, trying to recover the public-facing image." "But at the top of the stairs, things turn icy again. He offers his arm; she ignores it, choosing to cling to the railing instead. As she passes, she appears to mutter, 'Dégage, espèce de loser,' translated in English, 'Stay away, you loser.'" A few seconds later, according to the lip reader, Macron said, "Essayons, s'il te plaît," meaning "Let's try, please?" To which she simply replied, "Non." "His closing expression, and the phrase lipread as 'Je vois,' translated in english "I see" says it all," the lip reader added. "Hot Take: A rare unguarded exchange that hints at deeper tensions between the couple. One to watch, especially with a packed diplomatic schedule ahead." Shocked Macron's Damage Control Right after being shoved, Macron, 47, looked visibly shocked and embarrassed but quickly composed himself upon noticing the public watching. As she made her way down the stairs to meet Vietnamese dignitaries, Brigitte chose not to take her husband's extended arm. The French president's office first dismissed the clip as fake but they later admitted that the footage was indeed real. The president has since tried to downplay the incident. "We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife," Macron said Monday, adding that the incident was being blown out of proportion into "a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe" by his enemies. "People are saying all sorts of nonsense. Everyone needs to calm down," he said. The couple, married since 2007, first met in 1993 when Brigitte was a 39-year-old high school teacher and Emmanuel, then 15, was one of her students and also a classmate of her daughter.

Harry Potter series price tag unveiled after claims of record breaking budget
Harry Potter is facing a reboot with a brand new cast of actors and it's been reported the series would beat Rings of Power as the most expensive TV show ever to be created HBO has responded to claims the upcoming Harry Potter TV series will be the most expensive television show ever made, following reports suggesting the cost per episode would reach a staggering £75 million. The adaptation of JK Rowling's book series is set to be a decade-long project, with each season dedicated to one of the seven novels. Reports originally published by The Express claimed that the ambitious project would dramatically outspend even Prime Video's The Rings of Power, which cost around $465 million (£399 million) for its first season. However, a source close to the production has now confirmed to that the reported £75 million per episode figure is inaccurate. Instead, the budget is expected to be more in line with the final season of Game of Thrones, which cost approximately $15 million (around £12 million) per episode. Even with a more modest budget than reported, the new Harry Potter series is shaping up to be a landmark production. Casting directors received over 30,000 applications from young actors hoping to play the new generation of Hogwarts students. Now, Warner Bros. and HBO have confirmed that Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout will take on the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. This also marks the actors' first professional appearances on screen. Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod shared: "After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron. "The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen." Francesca Gardiner, whose previous credits include His Dark Materials and Killing Eve, is on board as showrunner and writer. She will be joined by Mark Mylod, a veteran director known for his work on Succession and The Last of Us, who will direct multiple episodes. The cast also includes acclaimed actors such as John Lithgow as Professor Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Professor McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid. The series is scheduled to begin filming this summer and premiere in 2026. It is said to be a faithful adaptation of the books and HBO bosses are hoping to use it to bring the wizarding world to new and existing fans alike. HBO Max will stream the series in various countries, including the UK, Germany, and Italy. Production is already underway, with a £1 billion studio expansion being constructed in Leavesden that includes an on-site school for the show's young stars. Analysts are predicting that this will have a long-term impact on the UK's creative industries. Tom Harrington from Enders Analysis has told The Times: "It's not just the box office, the merchandise, the tourists or the tours arising from the books, but the resurgence of big UK film and TV production that came in the wake of the Potter films."
