In July 2020, Edouard Philippe left his post as Prime Minister after three years of good and loyal service, in order to regain his post as mayor in the city of Le Havre. This does not prevent the 52-year-old politician from commenting on the decisions of the current government, he does not exclude the idea of returning to the world of politics one day.
This Monday, March 27, the former Prime Minister was thus on the set of the program “Daily” to discuss the strong tensions in the country since the stormy adoption of the pension reform. Viewers were able to see that the 52-year-old father has changed a lot, he who suffers from two pathologies: alopecia which causes hair loss, body hair and eyebrows and vitiligo which depigments his hair. It was therefore bareheaded, beardless and eyebrowless that he proudly appeared before declaring that he considers himself lucky that the symptoms of his pathologies arrived at the dawn of his fifties and not in his youth. especially because it can be very difficult to live.

Always very teasing, Maïa Mazaurette, the columnist of the show then underlined the fact that Édouard Philippe has been regularly talking about his practice of boxing for several months. The young youngster then implied that it was because of her illness which “refers to old age, weakness and devirilization” that the former Prime Minister would have started practicing this “sport of endurance, of strength and combat”.
“Perhaps you already had things to compensate for at that time?” she asked quite provocatively. “I started boxing when my father died” dropped Edouard Philippe while pointing out that he had started this sport, long before being affected by the two diseases. An honest answer that threw a chill and caused a big moment of embarrassment on the set of the show.
Aware that his appearance is intriguing and that the columnist has tried to draw a parallel with his presence in the world of politics, Edouard Philippe then added: “It’s a job of seduction and incarnation, so obviously the physical it counts. […] But I trust the common sense and intelligence of our fellow citizens. And so I say: ‘Well yes, I have vitiligo and I have alopecia’. It’s like that. I tell you, do what you want with it. If you think it makes me look bad, I can’t help it”. And to conclude with humor: “And then, if you think you have to be a playboy in France to be elected, I still have a few counter-examples, huh!”.
