PARIS – A video clip of Nicolas Sarkozy’s surprise visit with his wife during her interview at the Elysee Palace with readers of a French women’s magazine has become worldwide internet hit.
Staged or not, the video provided a glimpse into the life of Sarkozy and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, a former top model with a successful singing career before she married Sarkozy last year.
The hit moment is when Bruni-Sarkozy affectionately calls her husband her ‘chouchou’, or ‘sweetheart’.
It was filmed at the beginning of last week when five readers of the magazine Femme Actuelle met with Bruni-Sarkozy in the private quarters of the Elysee.
The magazine says the clip has been widely seen on YouTube in many countries.Bruni-Sarkozy, dressed in a lavender top and dark pants, is seen talking with the women when Sarkozy, wearing a suit, suddenly appears and sits down on edge of a chair next to his wife.
For her part, Bruni-Sarkozy affectionately and repeatedly strokes her husband’s hands and face.
Cole Camplese, director of Education Technology Services at Penn State University, said short videos that capture the public’s imagination can spread at ‘mind numbing speed’, in part because so many people post YouTube videos on Facebook. – Nampa-AP
