The National Audiovisual Institute (INA) has released images of the new prime minister at the age of 9, revealing an early passion for theatre.
Finally we know the name of the new prime minister. This is Gabriel Attal, who was appointed on Tuesday, January 9. If the CV of the new tenant of Matignon was studied in the last hours, this Macronist did not always imagine a career in politics from the beginning. As a child, he even had a dream to become a “famous actor”.
In a report dated November 1998 and published by the INA, Gabriel Attal identifies himself as a student at the prestigious Alsatian school in the 6th arrondissement of Paris at the age of 9 and a half. This renowned institution, where the arts are at the heart of education, played a crucial role in the career of the future Minister of National Education and then Prime Minister. During an interview in front of the camera of the France 3 Paris/Île-de-France television station, young Gabriel confided: “My father works in the cinema and he told me that if you want to be a famous actor, you should start from the theater.” .

“They wish they were me”
It must be said that Gabriel Atal has always been involved in cinema. His father, Yves Atal, has produced popular films such as High heel (1991) Pedro Almodovar, A monster (1994) by Roberto Benigni or even Stolen beauty (1996) Bernardo Bertolucci. In turn, little Gabriel took his first steps in the theater at the Alsatian school. In the archival images revealed by INA, the student already shows some talent as a speaker. We see him interpret the role of Sganarel with particular conviction Dr. Love by Moliere. “Last year I did Puss in Boots, and I was the cat. And last year I did The Flying Doctor and I was a doctor,” says the young aspiring actor, who says he is aware of his privilege. In this regard, he trusts. “My cousins […] say they’d like to be in my shoes when I tell them what we’re doing.
As a teenager, Gabriel Atal was always attracted to the world of entertainment. We discovered him in 2008 as an extra in the film The beautiful man By Christophe Honoré alongside Léa Seydoux. “I was 18 and I happened to be in this film by Christophe Honore, with a little money that allowed me to buy a scooter,” he said in an Instagram story, as quoted by France Inter. But his career in cinema will obviously stay there. Gabriel Atal has finally traded his acting hat for that of a politician after studying at Sciences Po and earning a law degree at Assas. And first of all, it has reached an unprecedented rise. At the age of 34, he became the youngest Prime Minister in the history of the Fifth Republic, succeeding Elizabeth Bourne.
