French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy wants to be considered as the new Jackie K. France’s first lady
French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy says her husband (President Nicolas Sarkozy) was not upset when he learned of all the nude photos she did during her modeling days.
Carla B says that she would like to be considered as the new Jackie K. France’s first lady, who is still Italian and not yet French, and her principal role model is an American, Jackie Kennedy.
Bruni-Sarkozy told Vanity Fair magazine that she gathered up her past nude shots to show President Nicolas Sarkozy early in their relationship, telling him: “You must know that this is going to come out.
“He said, ‘Oh, I like this one! Can I have a print of it?’ is how the president remarked.
Carla also says that she would never allow herself to be photographed ladling out soup for her husband at the Elysée Palace, as France’s first post-war First Lady, Yvonne de Gaulle, was
On the contrary President Sarkozy remains stubbornly unpopular. The morale of French households slumped last month to its lowest level in more than two decades. The people of France, who were suspicious at first, have come to admire Carla Bruni-Sarkozy – her beauty, her cheek, her self-assurance, her good manners. None of that seems to have helped her husband very much. His popularity rating remains mired in the 30s or low 40s
