Mbappe Turns Woman Who Caught His Eye At Cannes Film Festival Into An Instagram Star

Published|Updated

Kylian Mbappe announced a couple of weeks ago that he was leaving Paris Saint-Germain.  The superstar soccer player is expected to take his talents to Real Madrid, but nothing has been made official yet.

Before an official announcement of his next move, he decided to skip PSG's final Ligue 1 game of the season on Sunday and instead made his way to the Cannes Film Festival with teammate Ousmane Dembele.

While there, Mbappe shared some of his star-power with a woman who caught his eye.

Being one of the biggest soccer stars on the planet means that all eyes are on him most places that he goes.  That was no different as he hung out at the restaurant La Guerite over the weekend.

Someone was taking video of the 25-year-old as he was talking with friends when a woman waving a French flag stopped him in his tracks.

The deer in headlights look on his face had social media opening a full-blown investigation into the identity of the woman that caught his eye.  They did some digging and claimed to have found her.

Here's the video of Mbappe being silenced by the flag-waving woman.

Catching The Eye Of Mbappe Can Change Your Life

Here's the woman, according to the internet detectives, known only as Lea on social media.

Since being named as the woman in the Mbappe clip, her Instagram account had blown up.  Lea's gone from less than 1,000 followers to tens of thousands in a matter of days.

She's now an Instagram star with an opportunity to turn this added attention and newfound social media fame into something more than a couple of days riding a viral wave.

Talk about being at the right place at the right time.  Or at the very least, being identified as the person at the right place at the right time.

Lea is quickly approaching 100,000 followers and the sky's the limit with her model good looks.  The internet is an incredible place.
