Move over Scarlett. The world's most famous bespectacled neurotic, Woody Allen, declared that the person he would most like to put in one of his movies is France's First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
France's glamorous First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is director Woody Allen's latest leading lady of choice.
"Without question, Carla Bruni!" declared the U.S. director on RTL radio in Paris Thursday. "I'm sure she would be wonderful," Allen said through a translator. "She's got charisma, she's already acted so she's not unknown to an audience. There are a lot of ways I could use her though I don't have a story for her at the moment." Of course, Bruni-Sarkozy is no stranger to the limelight: She was one of the world's highest paid supermodels in the 1990s, then reinvented herself as a musician and released three albums before wedding Sarkozy after a whirlwind three-month romance and becoming one of France's most well-known faces. She made a brief film appearance in Robert Altman's 1994 fashion world black comedy, "Pret-a-Porter," as well as 1998 French comedy "Paparazzi" - but she has always appeared as herself. The 73-year-old director is rumoured to be planning a visit to the Elysee presidential palace and to stay with President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife. I wonder if he will ask her then? Which world leaders' wives would you most like to see on the big screen? U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama? Queen Rania of Jordan? Cameroon's First Lady Chantal Biya?
