On September 2, Franck LeBoeuf published “Believe in it for yourself – A story of strength and confidence” published by Le Courier du Livre, an autobiographical book in which the former footballer gives himself up to his heart’s content on his extraordinary journey. Within the story, it highlights in particular the dark side of the celebrity. Namely, the sudden feeling of having all the rights and of being considered as a God.
During his career, the athlete has also been confronted with this sudden desire for control. But if success made his head spin, he now shows a certain humility. It is moreover, not without a certain uneasiness, that he now remembers a particularly regrettable scene from his past.
Guest of the Télé-Loisirs podcast “Parents first”, Franck LeBoeuf then confided in the day when he maliciously insulted a Roland-Garros usher. “It was something that I regretted, it was indecent”, The star first explained before continuing:
“But at the same time, I don’t understand the logic. I wanted to go to a place, and rather than going all the way around 300 meters, where people could have stopped me, I explained to him: ‘I have ten meters to go, I am with the whole family, is you allow me? ‘ She answered me with that tone of people who have a certain responsibility but who give themselves authority… Frankly, you have to be careful how you talk to people. She assaulted me and it’s true that I responded aggressively to her assault. “
Franck LeBoeuf then concludes: “I told him, ‘You have to be a great dumbass to do something like that. I have ten yards to go rather than 300. I’m not going to hinder anyone. ‘ And I had this sentence that I regret. My wife, who was not yet my wife, said to me: ‘I found you execrable that day’. I was and regretted it. “
