Champagne is the leader of the American spy agency Statesman. He is portrayed by Jeff Bridges in Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle[]
At some point in time, Champagne got his suit tailored from Kingsman.
Champagne first appeared when he greeted Eggsy Unwin and Merlin and demonstrated his skill as an agent by throwing his hat across the room right onto the top of a oversized champagne bottle with his back turned. He proceeded to apologise sincerely for all misunderstandings between the Statesmen and the Kingsman that had happened thus far, and offered them any support he can give. He also chastised Tequila for his behaviour, while also noting a blue rash on his neck, telling him to report to the sick bay. He then had Eggsy paired up with Whiskey to track down Charlie Hesketh's former girlfriend, Clara Von Gluckfberg. He sampled whiskey throughout the encounter.
He was deeply concerned about Tequila's well-being when the latter was affected by Poppy Adams's tainted drugs, and immediately dispatched all available Statesman agents to track down the cure in the interest of his agents and the world, despite contradicting the President. His other interactions with the rest of his team showed that his devotion to them is just as strong. He was constantly taking a sniff or a swish of bourbon while discussing important strategies with the Statesman and the Kingsman. He didn't actually swallow anything, however, and kept a spittoon by his chair.
Following Harry and Eggsy stopping Poppy, Champagne celebrates the occasion by expressing his support to the Kingsman agency on rebuilding their facilities in the UK, after it was bombed by Poppy. He also requests to have either Eggsy or Harry to join them for the position of Whiskey. When the two both declined, Ginger Ale offered to take up the position, which was met with open arms by the other agents. Champagne later attended Eggsy's wedding to Princess Tilde.
Personality[]
Champagne is described as a man of high-class and a wise businessman. He holds his position proudly as the head of the Statesman agency, and happily supports the long term positive relationship with the Kingsman agency in the UK.
As a leader of the Statesman, Champagne is very good-natured and amicable, willing to gather intel from his own agents before giving them full support to succeed on their missions. However, he also expects some sense of professionalism from them, as he often scolds Tequila for acting very unprofessionally and recklessly as a Statesman agent. Despite his frequent annoyances with Tequila, Champagne also cares for him deeply, as he feels concern for Tequila's well being, after he was inflicted with the blue rash. Champagne also appears to dislike the President, as he expresses disgust on the President's lack of empathy towards the Golden Circle victims, regardless of them being criminals or not.
