How freakin’ hardcore is this Macron dude? Getting dropped from a chopper onto a sub? This is firmly in James Bond territory. https://t.co/WlGawuJPNR

BBC reports that he spent several hours underwater on the submarine to “signal commitment to France’s nuclear deterrent.”
Macron previously gained attention for his official portrait and environment-themed selfies with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
