In recent 'discussions' with certain of my French national contacts, I observed that according to the recent edition of The Sunday Times ‘Rich List’, Mr. Francois-Henri Pinault had recently moved from Paris to London, and by virtue of his stated GBP £2.61 billion fortune - consequently become the 38th wealthiest person in the U.K.
Apparently his move was for reasons publicly stated as being because ‘all the new designers are coming from London’ (– and seemingly nothing whatever to do with avoiding President Hollande's socialist taxes = I pass no further comment - other than 'boy has he got a surprise coming - should Ed. Miliband and his Labour Party buddies win the imminent United Kingdom General Election' !?).
Mr. Pinault is apparently accompanied in his new life in England by his wife, Ms. Salma Hayek, who is (of course) much better known (to Anglophones) by virtue of her Hollywood acting career.
She is apparently currently making a film in Great Britain called :-

The response (from the 'greater Ille de France area') was a statement that (with that title) it sounded like it is going to be a farce / sex comedy (!).
