LONDON - French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife/former model Carla Bruni, who is set to star in Woody Allen’s new film, thinks she’ll be completely hopeless as an actress.

However, the 42-year-old beauty insists that she couldn’t let go the opportunity to work with the New York director.

“I am not an actress at all. Perhaps I will be completely hopeless, but I can’t miss an opportunity like this one,” Times Online quoted her as saying on a television show.

She added: “When I’m a grandmother I’d like to be able to say I made a film with Woody Allen.”

She further revealed: “Woody Allen kindly asked me not to do a film with anyone else before him.

“If anything concrete ever comes of it it will be a great experience for me. I go into everything blindly or I’d never do anything at all.”

Meanwhile, Allen has praised Bruni too, he said: “She has charisma and she performs, so she’s not a stranger to an audience.”

Also, reports have suggested that Allen will shoot the comedy in Paris next year. (ANI)
