Short on the sides and thinning on top, French President Francois Hollande's hair is kept perfectly1 groomed2 at a cost of almost 10,000 euros a month, the Canard3 Enchaine weekly reported Wednesday.
法国总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德的发型两鬓较短、头顶稀疏。本周三,法国《鸭鸣报》周刊爆料称,奥朗德保持对头发的完美打理,每月花费近1万欧元。
The leader's hair has never been the topic of
scrutiny4, unlike other high-profile male politicians such as US presidential candidate Donald
Trump5 or former London mayor Boris Johnson.
However the publication of the contract of his hairdresser, identified only as Olivier B., by the investigative newspaper had the French public
bristling6 over such
extravagant7 spending by a
Socialist8 president.
"I can understand the questions, I can understand that there are judgements," said government spokesman Stephane Le Foll, who confirmed the hairdresser's steep salary of 9,895 euros ($10,900) a month.
"Everyone has their hair done, don't they?" added Le Foll, his
trademark9 thick grey mane
flopping10 over his forehead.
