Woody Allen might drop ‘risky’ Carla Bruni from his film
March 19th, 2010 - 5:06 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 19 (ANI): After finally getting Carla Bruni’s nod to act in his film, Woody Allen is now considering leaving the French First Lady for his next flick.
The legendary director, 74, last year convinced the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy to take a role in ‘You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger’ after hailing her as “wonderful”.
But now, it seems Allen has had a change of heart, and he has admitted that he might drop the 42-year-old supermodel-turned-singer because of the “risk” of her duties as France’s First Lady interfering with filming, due to start in Paris this year.
The news comes a week after a frenzy of rumours that both she and Sarkozy were having affairs.
According to reports, she had been seeing a pop star, Benjamin Biolay, and that he was romancing French junior minister Chantal Jouanno.
“Carla Bruni is not a woman who earns her living as an actress. She is a First Lady. She could be taken away at any moment by other duties, like a political crisis or an important event. I have to take account of the risks that there could be, and hiring her is far from certain,” the Daily Express quoted Woody as saying on Swiss TV this week. (ANI)
