Flair Factor: Presnel Kimpembe

When did you realise that you wanted to be a football player?

It was a very pleasant moment, we were able to collaborate with brands that I like. Very happy to have been able to do this for L'Officiel Arabia but also for fashion.

 

How did you get your nickname "Maestro"?

My new company is a family office, the aim is to defend the interests of all our talents and above all to accompany them on a daily basis in all stages of their lives.

Tell us about your experience playing for the French national football team and winning the FIFA world cup 2018?

The 2018 FIFA World Cup was a unique experience, winning this prestigious trophy was like living in a daydream. Representing your country and sharing it with the people was a huge pride for me.

 

The next FIFA World Cup will be in Qatar in the next few months, the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East, how excited are you to be part of this upcoming World Cup in the Middle East?

Like every game and especially every competition, I am very excited to play this kind of game. The support of a country is something unique, I hope to be among the selected ones to represent my country again.

You have also done voice acting for a few Hollywood movies, how did that happen and was it fun?

I had the chance to lend my voice for dubbing for Hollywood movies, it was a very fun experience, which I really enjoyed.

 

Who has inspired you the most in your life?

My parents are and will always be my role models. With all the social media attention and having millions of followers, it is almost impossible to have your own personal space.

How do you manage your work-life balance?

Pretty good. I manage to keep things separate. When I'm at home, I'm relaxing with my loved ones and when I'm at work, I'm 100% focused on my goals.

 

How was your experience doing this cover shoot for L'Officiel Arabia?

Everything went well, always in a good mood. The fact that I am doing the cover of a foreign magazine like L'Officiel Arabia is a source of pride.

Tell us about your next projects, we know you are opening a new business, we would like to know more about it.

My new company is a family office, the aim is to defend the interests of all our talents and above all to accompany them on a daily basis in all stages of their lives.

 

What's your relationship with fashion and your favourite brands?

I have a special relationship with fashion, I like to combine classic, original and unique pieces to have outfits that stand out.
