Thanks to the notoriety afforded him by Donald Trump, French president Emmanuel Macron has been signed by Proctor and Gamble to star in a new Head & Shoulders commercial.

Yesterday, as the two world leaders met in the Oval Office, Donald Trump made the surprise move of brushing a speck of dandruff from Macron’s shoulder.

Many are calling the episode “Dandruffgate” as there did not appear to be any dandruff on Macon’s jacket.

Nevertheless, because of Macron’s good-natured acceptance of Trump’s stunt, he has been rewarded by Proctor and Gamble with the starring role in a new TV ad for it’s best selling dandruff shampoo.

Macron said that in honor of Donald Trump, he is donating the proceeds from his advertising venture to Alzheimer’s research.
