Frank Leboeuf, crowned world champion in 1998 with the French team, is not a fan of the career led by his daughter Jade.

Being “the child of” can open doors, but also be a source of problems. Jade Leboeuf would be well placed to talk about it. Followed by nearly 270,000 people on Instagram, the daughter of the 1998 world champion lends her image to numerous brands and this notoriety exposes her to all kinds of comments, sometimes negative. Enough to worry her father Frank, who would have preferred that she pursue another activity.

“She does a job that I don’t necessarily appreciate, says the former Blues defender (56 years old), guest on the Jordan de Luxe show on the C8 channel. She is an influencer. I tell him that you must always protect yourself and know what you are doing. If there are people who need my daughter’s opinions or advice, so much the better if it reassures them. It’s a little beyond me because it’s not part of my generation. »

“It’s ‘Frank Leboeuf’s daughter gets naked’”

The one who shares the life of Stéphane Rodrigues, seen in
Secret Story And Ninja Warriorcan still count on the support of her father, who advises her as much as possible: “I tell him: you do what you want but you know that you have a dad who was famous and that you will always be ‘Frank Leboeuf’s daughter’. If there are contracts where she is a little naked, it’s ‘Frank Leboeuf’s daughter gets naked’. »

“We both have frank conversations about it. We have a public job and we cannot do and say anything. We must take responsibility for everything we say and everything we do”continues the former French international (50 caps, 4 goals). After his career, which he ended in 2005 after an experience in Qatar, Frank Leboeuf remained in the spotlight, as a consultant but also as a theater and film actor.
