(Washington Insider Magazine) – The Franco-Moroccan actor Jamel Debbouze had a bad time in his country of origin. The semi-final match of the 2022 World Cup, lost by Morocco against France, is always present in the minds of Moroccans. Already, before this match, the Franco-Moroccans were summoned to choose their camp. Many of them chose their country of origin while others refused to say. Among these dual nationals, Jamel Debbouze had a mixed position.
Indeed, he wore a half French, half Moroccan jersey. This TV and film star, who grew up in France, had not chosen between his two favorite teams, so he attended the semi-final wearing a half-French, half-Moroccan jersey. The actor had said that he had difficulty choosing between his two favorite teams. “It’s as if my father was fighting against my mother,” he simply explained. The image of Jamel Debbouze with a half-French jersey, captured by the Icon Sport photography agency, had caused a stir on social networks.
Moroccans Have Not Forgiven Jamel Debbouze For His Position During The France-Morocco Match
However, the Moroccans have not forgiven this actor for not supporting their team. They expressed it on social networks by castigating the binational star. This resentment has not died down two weeks after the French victory. Indeed, during his trip to attend the Stars in the place event, which took place at Jamaâ El Fna in Marrakech on December 31, the actor was not very well received. Worse still, the Franco-Moroccan was whistled by the public.
The facts happened when Maitre Gims wanted to introduce Jamel Debbouze as a surprise guest at the mega concert. Instead of the thunder of applause to which he is accustomed, the actor was whistled by an audience who still resent him for not having chosen Morocco in the semi-final of the World Cup.
