Even with his busy schedule while traveling overseas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finds time to hit the gym.
And a popular American stand-up comedian snapped a photo of Netanyahu in a Paris gym during his recent trip – and shared it on social media.

 

A post shared by John Mulaney (@johnmulaney) on

“I saw Benjamin Netanyahu at a hotel gym in Paris last week,” wrote John Mulaney alongside the photo. “We were alone along with 9 bodyguards.” The stand-up comic, writer and actor then shared a few lines of the poem I’m in Paris With You by James Fenton, ending: “Am I embarrassing you? I’m in Paris with you.”
On Twitter, Mulaney posted one photo of the prime minister, and on Instagram he shared the shot and then shared another, close-up image.
Netanyahu was in Paris last Tuesday as part of his four-day trip to London, which included stops in Germany France and the UK.
In the photo, the 68-year-old Netanyahu can be seen using a hand weight while seated on a bench. The prime minister’s security detail can be spotted in the background.
