Carla Bruni Sucking In New Woody Allen Film

7/29/2010 6:20 PM ET | Filed under: Film Flickers • Francophilia

So Woody Allen is feeling like a tool this morning.

When he snagged France's First Lady Carla Bruni to star in his new movie, Midnight in Paris, he probably thought to himself, "Yes! Finally, a real professional to work with."

And now, he's probably kicking himself in the face for not hiring a REAL actress.

Reports are coming in from the set that Carla isn't fairing too well. Apparently, it took her 35 takes to film one scene - a scene without ANY DIALOGUE! Apparently, she can't stop looking directly into the camera!

Ha! Oh, honey! That's such a big no-no!

Anyway, her lack of grace on camera is royally pissing off Woody Allen, but sources say he is being "very careful to show a lot of respect, especially since she was surrounded by bodyguards."

Someone else who isn't too thrilled with Carla's performance? Her hubby Nicolas Sarkozy!

He reportedly dropped by the set to see how things were going. According to onlookers, "he did not look particularly enthused by Carla's acting."

Yikes!

So, this will probably a short-lived acting career, oui?

Did this bitch actually think she was entitled to make a movie because she's married to a head of state? Pathetic! I bet you Michelle O at least would've pulled it off though

it is probably difficult for her because she was a model for so many years - where mostly what you do IS look into the camera.

She should focus on being "first lady" to her country instead of moonlighting. Grace Kelly had sense to do that once she became a "Princess Grace of Monaco". Too bad her kid Stephanie didn't try to find "royal" work. Look where she is in her life now.

Well I would imagine it`s hard to act when one has an IQ the size of an eggplant.

Re: mia01000 – Let me correct you… Grace Kelly wanted to continue her film work after she got married. It's her husband who prevented her from doing so. It made her very sad. She had to grieve her movie career…

What completely made up story… Carla was a supermodel. She's the epitome of grace… and if Woody shot the same scene 35 times it's because he's a perfectionist, not because Carla was looking into the camera… duh….
