Kylian Mbappé spoke in an interview about pressure from the media and his desire for anonymity.

« Sometimes heavy… A little more tiring“. Fame and media attention are not without consequences on Kylian Mbappé. In an interview given on the eve of the French team’s first match, the captain of the Blues talks at length about this pressure. An observation shared, in another interview, Ester Exposito. The actress and the footballer were recently photographed together without their knowledge in the Balearic Islands.

It’s in the columns of Parisian that we can read the parallel statements of the two celebrities. In an interview conducted on the occasion of the Football World Cup, the Real Madrid striker answers questions from his loved ones and teammates.

Kylian Mbappé is very talkative on the subject of fame and its impact, affirming first of all that his “ happy birthday“would be a day of anonymityâ€Not being disturbed, being able to do what you want, with who you want, where you want. These are things that have become a luxury for me, even though they are super simple things.. »

Des bêtes de foire

Kylian Mbappé admits to envying his teammates who “are not spied on every moment of the day ” and they don’t have « la même vie“. A difference linked, for him, to his particular status as a star “Today, I am beyond super famous, my notoriety is extraordinary. I have reached a stage that is beyond comprehension » affirms-t-il.

The 27-year-old footballer does not hide the fact that this constant attention weighs on him.I entered the category of those who are scrutinized at every moment. The whole paparazzi thing is a little more tiring. It dehumanizes us, makes us a bit like beasts. But everyone wants to know what I’m doing, where and with whom…» says the athlete, while affirming that he accepted that this would be “still part of his life ”.

Kylian Mbappé does not say it clearly, but these comments most likely refer to the multiple rumors that have been circulating since the start of his career about the various romantic relationships that are attributed to him. For several months, his name and that of Ester Exposito have been regularly attached to each other in the same press titles, even if they are sometimes only presented as “friends”.

Each of their appearances is largely immortalized by the paparazzi. And this even when they are not physically together, but leave the same hotel or get off the same plane. An alleged romance that the actress of the series Very little and the French footballer who plays in Madrid have never been made official.

Ester Exposito à Monte-Carlo le 13 juin.

Celebrity magazines present the Madrid actress and the Real Madrid player as a couple, without conditions. The proof with the front page of Paris Match which features a photo of the two stars on a jet-ski. Questioned by our colleagues from Parisian on this front page as part of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, Ester Exposito did not hide her annoyance “Since Élite, it’s been the same every time something happens in my private life. I don’t like it because I’m a reserved person. I don’t want this to take over my career.” Ester Exposito explained.

The actress has also not confirmed her romantic relationship with the French footballer. However, a “probablement » slipped by the 26-year-old actress about her possible presence at the Football World Cup, and a “it’s a universe that I’m discovering» released on the subject of football were enough, once again, to largely fuel the celebrity press. And not only that.
