布呂尼戛納缺席 放豪言勝過伊麗莎白

Carla Bruni has boasted that she is more popular than the Queen – in the eyes of Woody Allen, at least. The French first lady makes her acting debut with a small cameo role in the U.S. director’s latest film, Midnight in Paris. She told a radio interviewer: ‘When he [Allen] was asked in a press conference if he’d dream of casting the Queen of England, he said he’d rather cast me, which made me extremely happy and a lot of my artist friends – actors and actresses of which I have many – jealous.’

大導演伍迪·艾倫的新作《午夜巴黎》爲昨日戛納電影節來開序幕，從媒體場的反應來看，這封寫給巴黎的“情書”成功俘獲了法國人驕傲的心。而成功客串影片的“臨時演員”法國第一夫人布呂尼也雖然因懷孕而缺席電影在戛納的首映會，但是她對自己的“行情”卻自信滿滿，前日，她竟然放出言論說道：“在導演伍迪·艾倫的眼裏，我比女王伊麗莎白二世還受歡迎！”

據悉，在一場新聞發佈會中，當導演伍迪·艾倫被問道倘若選擇女演員會選擇女王還是布呂尼時，伍迪·艾倫：“我寧願選擇布呂尼，因爲布呂尼能讓我開心！而且布呂尼社交圈子很廣，有很多藝術家和演員朋友，這讓我十分妒忌。”

New role: Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has a cameo role in Woody Allen's new film Midnight in Paris - as they are seen here filming The film’s premiere marked the start of the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday. Miss Bruni, 43, failed to mention that she exasperated her director during filming by needing 35 takes to master a scene. She also took a swipe at U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, saying she would not have got the part ‘because she’s a lawyer’. Despite her brief appearance, the name ‘Carla Bruni’ even appears on the official film poster above that of Oscar winner Marion Cottilard – an unprecedented feat for a bit-part actress.

據透露，43歲的布呂尼扮演的是一位在麪包房內買麪包的女子，有報道稱，非專業演員的她反覆拍攝了35次，不過艾倫最終堅持將這一幕保留了下來，他說道：“我不會剪掉任何戲”。而即使是隻露一面，布呂尼還是成功地成爲了本屆戛納電影節的璀璨的明星。這位法國話題第一夫人還毫不留情地諷刺美國第一夫人米歇爾說她不可能在電影中取得任何角色，因爲米歇爾只是一個律師而已。儘管布呂尼只是客串電影，然而她在電影海報上的名字還是排列在奧斯卡獎得主演員瑪莉·柯提拉的上方。可見，第一夫人的政治魅力無可抵擋啊！
