L'Oréal Groupe

Produced by L'Oréal Groupe with T Brand, the New York Times studio, and directed by Xenia Alexandra, “Meeting the Moment” follows four athletes as they prepare for major events: training, mental strength and self-care rituals. Jules shares the bill with sprinter Noah Lyles and lucha libre stars Persephone and La Catalina; Sue Bird narrates. Released online in January 2026, the film was screened at the 30th American Black Film Festival in Miami on 30 May 2026.

Career commitment

PatrimoineZer association · Benin · December 2025

In Benin, with the children of “Écris ton hymne”

During the winter break, Jules chose Benin, the country of his roots, over a holiday. He spent the afternoon with 50 children from the “Écris ton hymne” (“Write your anthem”) educational project, run by the PatrimoineZer association: the children recited and performed their poems for him, about the pride of being Beninese, friendship, love, disappointment and life. He answered their questions about his career, his ambitions, Barça (and his outfits), before a snack and a handover of shirts and goodies donated by FC Barcelona.Away from the spotlight, he was also spotted on the beach and in the streets playing ball with the neighbourhood children.
“It's always an immense joy to come to Benin and discover a little more of the country each time. This trip was very special for me.”Jules Koundé
