Within one or two billion euros, kim kardashian She is a mother like any other. What she worries about is the development of her children. While Kanye West, the father of her children, remarried, was overcome with absurdity and hatred (at the end of September, he was banned for life from the Venetian vaporettos for “indecent exposure”; at the end of October, the “New York Times” reported on a decade of anti-Semitism when, at the head of the collection adidas yeezy(the rapper drew swastikas on the sneakers he didn’t like), Kim K told himself that the time had come to find a positive male role model for his offspring.

Because after Tony Micelli in “Madame is Served”, Manny has finished imposing himself on the screens through “Friends”. As we mourn the loss of Matthew Perry, the eternal and sensitive Chandler who carries sarcasm on his shoulder, we think of another episode, the one in which he himself plays the role of Manny with Joey, or the one in which this anxious man impregnated with tenderness finally becomes a father… In a recent interview, the actor, who fought addictions and created a foundation to help other sufferers, said that he would also have liked to have children. “I think he would be a great father. » It will have been, in any case, a more than positive male influence.
