It’s romance for Bruni and her Hollywood co-star, but drama off-screen as Sarkozy loses his cool

Between dozens of retakes during the evening shoot, France’s first couple had an intense, heart-to-heart chat that looked like it had been scripted for the film. Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy could be seen apparently trying to soothe her husband, who had arrived with bodyguards but no tie, casting an arm around him. Mr Sarkozy has a lot on his plate at present, as he struggles with record low approval ratings and a party funding scandal involving France’s richest woman.

Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy plays a museum curator in the film, about an engaged couple whose life is disrupted by a holiday to Paris. Speaking about the role last year, she stated she was looking forward to a “great experience” but that she might not be a natural.

“I am not an actress at all. Maybe I’ll be completely hopeless, but I can’t miss an opportunity like this one in my life.” However, she added: “I’d like to, when I’m a grandmother, to have done a Woody Allen film.”

Midnight in Paris, which has a £20 million budget, co-stars Marion Cotillard, Adrian Brody, Kathy Bates and Rachel McAdams, and features flashbacks to the 1920s jazz era.

Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy was expected to shoot a scene alongside Miss Cotillard this day before heading off with her husband to her family home in Cap Nègre, in the south of France.
