Charles de Gaulle was a French general and President of the Republic, he saved France from the Nazis during World War II. In the 31st Century, he lives at the Head Museum in New New York. He appears at the start when Fry feeling jealous picks up Charles and pretends to be him, he later appeared while Lars and Leela were walking through the head museum and Charles requests some oats to which Lars gives him some. He later appears again at Leela and Lars' soon-to-be cancelled wedding along with Leonard Nimoy and a few other heads and after Hermes lost his paradox body after it was crushed by a chandelaer, Charles and Hermes had to share a jar for the time being. He finally appears at the end of the film when Fry becomes Lars Fillmore and gets a job at the head museum he shakes hands with Charles and attending his funeral.

    Episode
    , he was only added into the film due to the snippet of The Jigsaw Seen's cover of Scott Walker's song 30 Century Man played at the end of the film;
    • I'll save my breath and take it with me,
      'til a hundred years or so,
      shame you won't be there to see me,
      shaking hands with Charles de Gaulle.
  • Fry has never heard of him.
