LISTEN TO ME: SPORT COMMENTATOR GRANTAIRE!
He’s won gold medal for fencing and occasionally boxes a little bit, but he’s mostly retired after an injury and now comments sports on one of France’s main channels. He’s beloved by the public because he’s a cynical piece of shit with one liners that become huge memes on the #upthebaguette tag.
“Welcome to France 3′s annual landscape documentary, also known as the Tour de France.”
People actually tune in to watch sports even though they’re not particularly fond of sporting events just to listen to him snicker and sass what’s happening. But when Enjolras is on the ice, Grantaire’s not so much sassying than he is… praising. He even shuts up during one very difficult figure because he was holding his breath and DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT TAKES TO MAKE GRANTAIRE SHUT THE HELL UP??????
(Although he probably calls Enjolras “Elsa” and “Let it Go” and sings the French version of the song when Enjolras gets on the ice, let’s be real)
