Emmanuel Macron betrayed his true feelings after being shoved in the face by wife Brigitte in a 'shocking' incident in front of the world's media, a body language expert has revealed.
The French President appeared to ball one of his hands into a fist as he stepped onto the tarmac in Vietnam moments after arriving in the country on Sunday night, Judi James pointed out.
Speaking to reporters in Hanoi today, Macron said that the incident had been overblown, insisting: 'I was bickering, or rather joking, with my wife. It's nothing.'
But James told MailOnline that the interaction was far from a 'playful' moment of teasing between a husband and wife, as Macron and his inner circle had attempted to portray it.
'I would not describe the gesture we saw from inside the plane as one of "play" as has been claimed,' she said.
