Brigitte Macron's body is not visible in the footage, which quickly spread across social media platforms.
Emmanuel Macron denied reports of an altercation with his wife following the incident.
Speaking to reporters in Hanoi, the French president said he and his wife were "joking around, as we do quite often".
Macron described the gesture as playful, explaining that Brigitte's actions were not aggressive but rather part of their usual banter.
The president's comments came after the video sparked widespread speculation about tensions between the couple during their official visit to Vietnam.
