A newly published French political book has sparked controversy after claiming that French President Emmanuel Macron exchanged private messages with Iranian-French actress Golshifteh Farahani as part of what the author describes as a “platonic relationship”. The allegations appear in Un Couple (Presque) Parfait (“An Almost Perfect Couple”), written by journalist Florian Tardif, and have drawn international attention because the book also links the alleged exchanges to a viral 2025 incident involving Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron aboard a plane in Vietnam. However, no independently verified evidence supporting claims of a romantic or inappropriate relationship has been publicly released.
