薩科齊夫婦獲評法國最令人反感名人
Wealth, glamour and a powerful husband – it might seem as though Carla Bruni has it all.
But while she rubs shoulders with the rich and famous, it appears the former supermodel lacks something of the common touch.
The French people have voted their president’s wife as the country’s most irritating celebrity.
On top of that, the poll to find the country’s most annoying people found her husband Nicolas Sarkozy to be one of France’s most irksome politicians.
Miss Bruni, 43, topped the list of media personalities that most got on people’s nerves, with 52 per cent of people saying they found her presence ‘highly grating’.
She was followed by veteran screen star Alain Delon on 47 per cent and actor Gerard Depardieu on 46 per cent in the Harris poll of 1,713 adults.
The award rounds off a turbulent year for Miss Bruni.
In February, historian Patrick Weber branded her a ‘frivolous fashion victim who is isolated from reality’ in a book about her life.
Then in March she was forced to deny rumours she was having an affair with singer Benjamin Biolay.
Her husband was voted France’s fourth most unbearable politician, behind socialist presidential candidate Segolene Royal, interior minister Brice Hortefeux and National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen.
French daily Le Parisien said: ‘This couple clearly have a lot of PR work to do for themselves over the next 12 months.’
財富、魅力、有權勢的老公——法國第一夫人卡拉•布呂尼似乎應有盡有。
儘管她躋身富豪名流，但看起來這位前超模卻不夠平易近人。
法國民衆近日將他們的總統夫人評選爲最令人反感的名人。
而同時登上法國最令人反感人物榜的還有布呂尼的丈夫尼古拉•薩科齊，他躋身法國最令人反感的政治家之列。
現年43歲的布呂尼在最令人反感的公衆人物榜中居首，52%的受訪者認爲她的出現“讓人很討厭”。
位居其後的是老牌影星阿蘭•德龍（得票率47%）和演員傑拉爾•德帕爾迪約（得票率46%）。該調查由哈里斯民調公司開展，共有1731名成年人蔘與。
對布呂尼來說，獲此殊榮可謂給今年的流年不利“畫上了圓滿的句號”。
今年二月份，歷史學家帕特里克•韋伯在講述布呂尼的一本書中稱她“脫離現實，是個輕佻時尚的犧牲者”。
緊接着在三月，她又不得不出面否認她與歌手本傑明•比奧雷的緋聞。
她的丈夫薩科奇在法國最令人反感政治人物榜上名列第四。前三位分別是社會黨總統候選人塞格琳•羅雅爾、內政部長布萊斯•奧爾特夫、以及國民陣線領導人讓-瑪麗•勒龐。
法國日報《巴黎人報》在報道中稱：“在未來一年，薩科奇夫婦無疑需要做大量的公關工作了。”
