Winston Churchill’s swimming trunks come off when he dives headfirst down water slide is revealed in a colorized footage. The embarrassing moment was filmed in 1934 when Churchill, aged 60, was on holiday in the French Riviera with his family.
Churchill is seen in the clip wearing a black pair of trunks as he lies down at the top of the slide and then plummets into the sea before his head re-emerges from the water. When the bubbles generated by his adventure die down, the politician’s trunks are seen floating next to him.
The clip comes from the Churchill family archives and founds its way into a Smithsonian documentary in 2021.
