In a Special Envoy dedicated to him, broadcast this Thursday evening on France 2, Kylian Mbappé opens up like never before about his daily life.
Behind the scenes. Or in the head of Kylian Mbappé who, off the field, confides as rarely in the journalist Elise Lucet as part of the program Envoyé Spécial. Having become a global football star, the child of Bondy sometimes regrets the anonymity that could have been his, and the spontaneity that goes with it.
“ The last time I went to buy a baguette by myself on foot? I don’t even know anymore… These are things that are so simple and which were chores when I was little, when my father said to me: “Go get that”… I would pay so much now to do this kind of thing which look like nothing to most people. There is an inevitability and it is an observation “, he whispers, embarrassed by the constant weight of fame.
“I deserve the money I earn”
So he can easily imagine if he were to change his appearance in the space of two days. “ I spend my 48 hours outside, that’s for sure. I do all. Things without thinking. I lost the spontaneity of being human. It’s all about organization, everything is organized. Is it heavy? Now, no, it’s everyday life. But it was. Go eat quietly in a brasserie, go out, go with friends, party incognito, no one comes to see you… The next morning, a good brunch in the sun on a terrace, admire things. The simple things in life. »
However, Kylian Mbappé admits: “ I was always convinced that it was going to happen, that I was going to become a world star. » All without denying the pharaonic income he receives today – of the order of 100 million euros per year; sum which includes the profits of his companies of which he cuts 30% for the benefit of associations. “ At 12, I also thought there was too much money in football. But I deserve the money I earn. I didn’t steal it from anyone. The world works like this “, he trumpets.
