Bruni in Woody Allen film?

France's first lady, singing ex-supermodel Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, has agreed to star in US artist Woody Allen's next movie, she told a television interviewer. "He suggested I appear in his next film. I don't know what the role would be, but I said yes," the 41-year-old told the main evening entertainment show on the Canal+ network. "I'm not an actress at all. Perhaps I'll be completely hopeless but I can't miss an opportunity like this one. When I'm a grandmother I'd like to be able to say I made a film with Woody Allen," she gushed.

Allen visited the French first couple this June during a trip to Paris to promote his last movie Whatever Works.
