A new muse for Woody Allen? Carla Bruni, the first lady of France, has confirmed that she will star in Allen’s next film. “He asked me to be in his next film. I don’t know for what role, but I said yes,” she told a French news program. “I’m not an actress at all,” she went on. “Maybe I’ll be totally horrible but I can’t in my life miss an opportunity like this.” Allen’s next project has not yet been announced but he has expressed interest in shooting in France.
