Allen praises Bruni

Woody Allen was impressed by the “professional” performance of France’s first lady, Carla Bruni, on the set of his film 'Midnight in Paris', it was reported today.

Allen was quoted in the Italian daily Corriere della Sera today as saying that working with Ms Bruni was smooth and pleasant. The ex-supermodel was on set in July for her appearance in Allen’s romantic comedy, which stars Owen Wilson and Marion Cotillard.
