Random Acts: Audrey Fleurot scares Woody Allen

21 June 2011 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

It’s the turn of Audrey Fleurot to be a bit random this week by scaring Woody Allen so much he edited her out of his latest film, Midnight in Paris.

“Tous mes potes pensent que je suis mythomane”, explique-t-elle à Télérama. “Sur le plateau, c’était étrange. Je suis allée dire bonjour à Woody Allen, il a fait un bond de deux mètres en arrière comme si je l’avais violé.”

“All my friends think I’m a pathological liar. On set, it was strange. I went to say hello to Woody Allen and he jumped back two metres as though I’d violated him.”

I love old 60s TV show The Champions – I wrote a big long essay on why I love it about five years ago. Who knew that it was so popular in France that someone would actually do a spoof, though? Okay, it’s French TV so it’s terrifyingly unfunny, but they still put a lot of effort into it

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
