Overview

- He spoke in French throughout his speech and cited a 300‑year‑old ancestral link to Saint‑Malo, Canada‑bound Marc‑François Carré.
- The actor attended with his daughter Jane, his grandson Jackson, and his partner, named in coverage as Mina/Min Ah.
- Clips from the ceremony drew intense online attention, including speculation about cosmetic work and fringe claims that he was a clone or replacement, none supported by evidence.
