It seems the camera likes Antony Blinken (America's Secretary of State). I think he knows that, and cooperates with it. His profile looks good in most of the pictures I've seen so far.
Blinken is jewish, and his wife christian. They met at the White House where they were both working for the Obama and Clinton administrations.
At their wedding, the religious service was performed by a rabbi and a priest. (I wonder how that goes...never been to an interfaith wedding ceremony).
According to his biography he is fluent in French (he lived in France for a period of time, with his Mother and her husband , and went to school there). He also plays the guitar and sings.
Not everybody's happy with his guitar playing ('it sucks' , wrote someone). I believe, that with the kind of job he does, the guitar saves him. ( Currently, he's got Israel and Ukraine on his head, two very tough 'clients' !) .
Lately, he was seen in a bar in Kyiv, dressed in jeans and holding a red guitar, performing onstage together with a local rock band in celebration of some more military help given by the USA to Ukraine.
He combines diplomacy with music, and it probably works for him; the two domains somehow complement each other. (Bill Clinton as I recall, was playing saxophone).
