The refrain of the beauty pageant contestant is a familiar one: "I want to fly around the world, helping people, saving the environment, raising elephant babies by hand, saving the lepers of India and still have time to do my hair in the morning....blah blah...pause for fake smile to camera." Usually these over styled mannequins are as false as they are pretty.
However, France has a new champion - 23 year old Anthony Garcia from Eyguieres in Les Alpilles is Mr France 2010. Yes he's going to travel the world, representing France with his biceps and his tightly honed chest, doubtless there will be some photo opportunities with the needy, but I've yet to come across any other Marcel Pagnol quoting swimwear model. Speaking about his desire to one day make films Anthony said:
"Tout le monde savait que c'était impossible. Il est venu un fou qui ne le savait pas et qui l'a fait. "
Loosely translated: "All the world knows it's impossible. It takes a fool to come along and do it."
Intellect and also a trace of irony?
