Fil-French actress Solenn Heussaff on Monday casted doubt on Miss France Iris Mittenaere’s interpreter at the Miss Universe 2016.
The actress hinted that the interpreter provided an inaccurate translation of the candidate’s answer.
Solenn said the French interpreter changed the France’s representative answer from “first year of Medicine school” to “first casting.”
Mittenaere’s translated answer was “I failed several times in my life. So I thought I failed the first time that I went on a casting because my name was not in the list. And the very next day, I found I was in a new book. So I think when you fail, you have to be elevated and you have to try again and keep going. If tonight I’m not one of the winners, I will still have the great honor being one of the three finalists. So I think I have failed before but for me this a great first opportunity.”
Miss France was eventually crowned Miss Universe 2016.
Solenn clarified in a later tweet that the inaccurate translation should not affect Miss France’s chances of winning the pageant.
“Congrats miss France! And all the women. Winner silang lahat,” Solenn added.
