She’s also set to star in Allen’s next film. “He offered me a role in his next movie,†Bruni told Bloomberg News. “I don’t know for what character, but I said yes. I’m not an actress at all. Maybe I will be terrible. But, in my life, I cannot let such a chance go.†More than her performance, we’re looking forward to the inevitable Allen/Sarko throwdown over Bruni’s heart. [Bloomberg]
