Scarlett Johansson may be a lot of things to a lot of people, but Woody Allen's latest muse is not a title the young American actress with a skyrocketing career is after.
Woody Allen, accompanied by Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer & Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, presented in Cannes his latest film Match Point.
For this 36th feature film, Woody left his stomping ground in Manhattan and shot the film entirely in London: “I made the film in London because the atmosphere was very good for me creatively." The film focuses on Chris, a modest tennis instructor, who breaks through into British high society.
Scarlett Johansson was asked what it was like to be Allen's new "muse" - a woman or force personified as a woman who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.
The journalist was referring to Allen's past on- and off-screen partnerships with Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow.
But before Scarlett Johansson, 20, could answer, Allen, 69, leaned over toward her and gave a stage whisper loud enough for their microphones to pick up: "Careful, careful." They both laughed.
"I guess I'm glad we're working together again," said Scarlett Johansson, who stars in Match Point and will work with Allen again on a new film mid-year. "I'm thrilled. I don't know about being his 'muse', but it's nice to work with him. We'll get to eat the free lunch from catering again."
