Woody Allen Shoots Down Carla Bruni Rumors

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 13th 2010 11:04AM

After rumors swirled last July that Carla Bruni-Sarkozy took 32 takes to shoot a single scene, Woody Allen has swooped in to defend the beautiful actress-French First Lady in distress.

"She was no problem at all," Allen declared at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, the AP reports. "I was delighted with her."

Allen was all defense at TIFF in an interview when asked about Bruni-Sarkozy when reports surfaced about her on-set troubles for the shooting of Allen's latest 'Midnight in Paris,' including a mentioning that Allen had to replace her at the last minute with another actress.

Allen reiterated that the number of takes was greatly exaggerated, saying that he usually does 10 or so takes for all his actors including big names like Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard and Rachel McAdams.

The wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy was no different.

"This is a hundred percent untrue," Allen said in the interview. "She's in the picture. Everything she shot is in the picture. I love her. She's great. It's not a big part, but it's a respectable part."

Allen did say he did make a last minute hire for another actress, but not for Bruni-Sarkozy's role.

"I did hire another actress late in the picture for another part, for a totally different role," Allen adamantly stated. "They're both in the picture."

Bruni-Sarkozy's role is a tour guide a the Rodin Museum, and the film is set to debut next year.

WOODY IS A PEDOPHILE THAT NEEDS SOMEONE TO DEFEND HIM!!

By Luci

Yes, he certainly is. He looks like a serial killer too. I think they should start looking at some of the unsolved serial killings, don't you?

By Apostate

After "Sleeper",I stopped paying attention to Woody Allen flicks.

By Jim

Like anyone who is a PEDOPHILE with his own daughter should have an opinion. Creep man

By Chuck

I can't believe Woody Allen has ever had more than one take on any of his movies, they all suck and they are full of the worst acting I've ever seen in my life. He should just retire and leave the movie making to more talented people.

By mwbeatles

Why would you bother reading an article about Woody Allen if you don't like him? I have a feeling you're not telling the truth.

By wilsman2

Chuck, have you ever seen a Woody Allen film? Every Director has films that are good and bad, but overall Woody Allen has had more success than failure.

When I saw the headline "Woody Allen denies rumor..." - I thought the story was going to be that his exwife's adopted daughter that he's banging came home and found naked pictures he took of the 15 year old baby sitter that he's going to replace her with - because I can belive that this peice of crap pedophile that most of Hollywood still wants to work with would do that.

Two, one word definitions of Woody Allen.
1) Overrated.
2) Pedophile.

I would have put pedophile first but I have a feeling saying he's overrated probably bothers him more.

By garyrjas

How are Woody and his stepdaughter wife doing?

By bilupu

Why on earth can't everyone see that this man is no better than Polansky? He is a perverted pedophile. Stay away from this nasty guy's films.

Too bad somebody doesn't shoot down Woodie.

By Jay

It is no wonder that any actor requires many take when doing a Woody Allen movie. They only receive a script with their own lines, they have no idea what the other actor(s) in their scene are going to say/do. They do not even know who the other actors are, and by contract cannot speak to them if they find out, Woody is a genius, and this is how his films have always been done, that is why they are so remarkably entertaining.

Soon Yi Previn was 22 years old when she and Woody hooked up, not an underage girl. He was never her stepfather, nor was Mia Farrow her biological mother. Farrow and her then husband Andre Previn adopted Soon Yi. Farrow has never been known for her emotional stability, even back to the days when she whacked all of her hair off, and married Frank Sinatra in the '60's.

Although Woody is significantly older than his wife, they have been married since 1997.

Just wanted to clear up some blatant fabrications and untruths about a legendary US filmmaker.
