Carla Bruni-Sarcozy is making her acting debut in a Woody Allen film, "Midnight in Paris." The 42-year-old former supermodel and singer said she was a little unsure of her acting skills when she accepted Allen's offer to be in the movie.

"I'm not at all an actress. Maybe I'll be absolutely terrible," she said in an interview with Canal Plus TV station. The film is billed as a romantic comedy about a family traveling to the French capital for business. Her co-stars: Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard and Adrien Brody.
