This Thursday, January 12, 2023, Édouard Philippe gave an exclusive interview to our colleagues from Point. An interview during which the former prime minister confided in his state of health. Like Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, Emmanuel Macron’s former right-hand man suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disease that he “live well”. “Alopecia is neither serious, nor dangerous, nor contagious, nor painful. […] The eyebrows have fallen, they will not come back. The hair is falling out, I’m not sure it will grow back. The beard will eventually fall out”he explained.
“A politician prefers to talk about ideas than hair”
“When testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme, […] the DHT will speed up the hair growth cycle and after 25 cycles, the follicle becomes exhausted. Result: the hair becomes thinner and thinner then the follicle dies and disappears”, can we read on the Doctissimo site. If he rarely mentions this patient, it is above all because the mayor of Le Havre believes that“A political leader prefers to talk about ideas than hairs”. A statement that sparked strong reactions on social networks. “Given the lack of audacity of your ideas, you should stick to hair”, replied a user under the last tweet posted by Le Point. And another to add: “That closes the debate! »
However, this is not the first time that Édouard Philippe has declared that he suffers from alopecia. Last year, he had already confided in this disease in the columns of Parisian. Far from being affected, he had also played the humor card. “I have long wondered what an eyebrow was for. Well, it serves to get noticed when it falls! […] And believe me, I feel good about myself,” he said. Touching confidences.
