He is the most handsome man in France. A month after the inevitable Miss France election, it is the men’s turn to have their election to elect the most handsome man in the country. Among the 27 candidates, it was Maxence Brovillé, 26, who was crowned this Saturday evening in Rueil-Malmaison (Hauts-de-Seine).
Born in Martinique, the new Mister France is Auvergne by adoption, a region he represented during the election. Arriving in Auvergne with his parents in the early 2000s in Ceyrat (Puy-de-Dôme), this 1.93 m tall, 82 kg guy has been playing tennis since he was very young.
Talented, he even became a professional player and was ranked 708th in the world. But at the end of 2023, he must prematurely end his career as a tennis player over suspicions of cheating.
Accused of having fixed matches, he was excluded from all official competitions or those having any direct or indirect connection with professional tennis for 7 years, i.e. until 2030. “They had suspicions about a few doubles matches dating from 2017,” he explained in February 2024 to La Dépêche.
The ex-professional tennis player who always denied these accusations was also fined $5,000 for “refusing to cooperate during the investigation”, in particular for refusing to submit his personal devices.
Spotted on Instagram
After tennis, Maxence Brovillé retrained in finance, in the banking sector, and he also developed a sports clothing brand.
The man who succeeds Mathieu Bedini claims to have no experience in the modeling industry. He explains to La Montagne that he was spotted on Instagram by a modeling agency last year and that he embarked on the adventure because he “needed a new challenge”.
With his election, Maxence Brovillé wants to defend the cause of mental health, he who had a very difficult time being suspended from the world of tennis, citing depressive states and taking medication.
As a reminder, the committee requires that candidates have “an attractive physique, general knowledge, communication skills, as well as a personal commitment to causes that are close to their hearts”.
