French President Emmanuel Macron recently spoke out about the Netflix show "Emily in Paris," which has become one of the platform's biggest hits.

He also shared his pride in his wife, Brigitte Macron, who made a brief appearance in the latest season. "It was just a short moment, but it was a great experience for her," he said.
