Eric Cantona Sweating On Julian Assange’s Treadmill Is The Image Of The Week

Here’s Eric Cantona inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, busting a nut on the treadmill while Julian Assange looks on.

WikiLeaks tweeted news of the meeting at the weekend, before filmmaker Romain Gavras shared this wonderful gif:

So why has this completely normal and unsurprising workout taken place? Apparently the pair were discussing an as-yet unspecified “future collaboration”, which will be fully explained in “due course”. Right. So surely Gavras’ presence suggests that a film with the pair is in the pipeline, but it could also be related to the #counterintelligenceworldcup, which was launched to highlight Germany’s plans to resume spying on the United States.
