00:00What's your favorite movie of all time?
00:02I love French movies of the 60s and 70s,
00:06perhaps 100,000 Dollars in the Sun
00:08or Le Deuxième Souffle.
00:10Les Tontons Flingueurs also, and some others.
00:12I love this period of the French cinema.
00:15What was your highlight from the Olympic Games?
00:18Léon Marchand, when he won these two gold medals
00:21in two hours' time.
00:23It was incredible, and he was not favorite for the second one.
00:26And in Judo as well,
00:28when we had the gold medal for the team
00:30after this incredible final with Japan
00:32and the victory of Denis Rilner.
00:33I think these two moments.
00:34If one day life tears you away from me
00:43I think everybody was emotional at this very moment.
00:46Obviously, I knew that it was Céline Dion,
00:48but it was a surprise, and you can feel the surprise
00:52in the audience when she appeared.
00:54This moment of the celebration of the ceremony
00:57and Céline Dion appearing suddenly in the Eiffel Tower
00:59I think created, on top of the song itself,
01:02a huge emotion.
01:03Montre ton plomb, plomb des oiseaux, des animaux
01:12She worked a lot, I know that.
01:13And be part of this French culture,
01:16and she took a lot of risks.
01:17I mean, she did great.
01:18So I'm extremely grateful to her.
01:22And I told her, for us, it meant a lot.
01:25What would be the best advice you would give
01:27to the L.A. Games organizers?
01:29Wow, I don't want to give any advice.
01:32I mean, just organize your games.
01:34Be yourself.
01:36There is this formula of Oscar Wilde.
01:38I mean, don't try to be the others.
01:40It's already taken.
01:41I mean, we did something unique
01:44because we wanted to make something unique.
01:47So do your own Olympic Games.
01:50Don't try to copy anything.
01:52And it's quite strict.
01:54You have a lot of restrictions and constraints
01:57in terms of organization
01:59because the Olympic Committee
02:02asks you a lot of things in terms of organization.
02:05But I think being creative,
02:07being in line with your identity, your history,
02:12even your paradoxes, but be yourself.
02:14Bonjour, Madame Macron.
02:16D'accord.
02:16Je suis Emily Cooper.
02:18Emily, c'est vous. Je la suis sur Instagram.
02:21Oui, oui. Oh, yes.
02:23J'adore your country.
02:24Brigitte's cameo in Emily in Paris.
02:26What did you think of that?
02:28I was super proud and she was very happy to do so.
02:31It's just a few minutes,
02:33but I think it was a very good moment first for her.
02:35I think she did appreciate the whole team.
02:37And this is for a very positive memory.
02:40And I think it's good for the image of France.
02:42I mean, Emily in Paris is super positive
02:44in terms of attractiveness for the country.
02:46So for my own business, it's a very good initiative.
02:49Did they try to get you?
02:52I'm less attractive than Brigitte.
02:55So the show now is moving to Rome.
02:57How is that possible?
02:58How did you get them back?
02:59Because we will fight hard
03:01and we will ask them to remain.
03:03Emily in Paris and Roma doesn't make sense.
03:05Exactly. It doesn't make any sense.
03:06I just have one question about Taylor Swift.
03:09What did the ERA tour mean to France's economy?
03:12She's part of this very few artists
03:15able to gather so many people.
03:16So it meant a lot.
03:18Happily, the organization in France went well.
03:20It was before the terrorist concerns.
03:22And she had some concerns being concealed
03:25in other parts of the continent.
03:28But I think for French people
03:31and for all the generations, for the economy
03:33and the cities where she appeared,
03:34it was absolutely unique.
03:36This is a phenomenon.
03:37Were you surprised that Joe Biden
03:39stepped out of the race?
03:40Yes.
03:42I was surprised and I think it was a personal choice.
03:45But I have a lot of respect
03:47because it's always a very difficult choice.
03:50And I do respect him and what he decided.
03:53He did it for the country
03:57and for a dynamic.
04:00But I didn't expect it.
04:01Do you think the US is ready
04:03to elect their first female president?
04:06I think the US is a great democracy.
04:07So they are ready to be innovative and move forward.
04:10And I have to say,
04:11it's not super innovative to elect a woman.
04:13She's just half of humanity and half of the country.
04:16Same on our side.
04:20Same on our side.
