Dans l’émission Quelle époque, diffusée ce samedi 21 septembre, Léa Salamé a fait une petite remarque au sujet du physique de Tony Estanguet, qui n’est pas passée inaperçue.

Tony Estanguet was a guest on the show Quelle Epoque this Saturday, September 21 on France 2. After the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the president of the Olympic Games has become an essential figure for the French.

Moreover, Arthur, the host also invited to the occasion of the 25th anniversary of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, was delighted to be seated “next to the most handsome guy of the moment. That is to say, there were the Olympic Games and Tony Estanguet, the girls were swooning!".

To which Léa Salamé retorted "it's true that he has become handsome", as La Dépêche noted. "I don't know how I should take it. It's nice, that… “, replied Tony Estanguet while the whole set laughed and Christophe Dechavanne added another layer:“When you came last week, you were ugly.”

“Legendary Tact”

“Tony, you've become handsome […] You were very handsome, but since the Games, you've been dazzling. We have the impression that you are […] you have become magnetic, you have become…", the journalist caught up, as noted by Voici.

Obviously, the clumsiness did not go unnoticed and many Internet users were quick to make fun of the reflection. One of them mentions “the legendary tact” of Léa Salamé.

The journalist has been the target of much criticism, particularly during the Olympic Games when she hosted the show “Quels jeux”. Internet users have repeatedly accused her of a lack of empathy or kindness. Some time before, in April, she had also caused controversy after having launched "you have become annoying" at the director Artus, who revealed that he had completely stopped drinking alcohol.
