Photo Gallery The Trials and Tribulations of Jean-Claude Juncker
There has been considerable speculation in recent years about European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who holds the European Union's most powerful job. His health is not the best, and some believe that he drinks too much.
Juncker was also criticized sharply by a British government for the way he mussed the hair of his female deputy protocol chief in December.
He has also been known to touch the heads of male colleagues in an affable manner. Here, he is seen in the European Parliament with former Belgian Prime Minister and current parliament Brexit chief Guy Verhofstadt.
Last July, Juncker stumbled on his way to a dinner at the NATO summit. There was much speculation that he was drunk, but Juncker himself blamed his sciatica, which has bothered him for years. He says he was not drunk.
