Gabriel Attal, 34 has become the youngest PM in modern French history 🙌
He is also France's first openly gay Prime Minister.
He will now have the task of leading the French government into important European Parliament elections in June.
He will also be the first openly gay occupant of Hôtel Matignon.
Ten years ago he was an obscure adviser in the health ministry and a card-carrying member of the Socialists.
Attal recently went on a famous TV show to tell the story of how he was bullied in middle school by a former classmate.
Attal distinguished himself from the pack by his willingness to speak out in public on any issue thrown at him and his talent for finding the bon mot and soundbite.
Their formidable communication skills and ability to think and speak on his feet parrying questions in parliament in public, has earned him the nickname the Word Sniper.
