<p id=”par-3_68″>James told <a href=”https://www.themirror.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/exclusive-gerard-pique-body-language-1947095″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Mirror</a>, “As the boys dance with excitement and pride, Piqué opts for a much less enthusiastic-looking response in this clip as he sits slightly slumped in his chair in a pose that suggests it might require some kind of confetti canon to blast him up onto his feet, and he turns his head to the side, apparently unsmiling, as though untouched by the party atmosphere.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_53″>According to the expert, Piqué’s lack ofreaction to his ex’s music may be “more of an active act and non-verbal statement about how he really feels … the Final must have been something of a reminder of what might have been or what used to be when he was at his career peak.”</p>
