France's first lady Carla Bruni is said to have given almost 32 retakes in five hours for a scene in Woody Allen's next project Midnight In Paris. She appeared alongside actor Owen Wilson on a busy street near the Pantheon (popular building in Paris) for a scene in the comedy film Tuesday, reports digitalspy.co.uk.

The 42-year-old, who plays the director of a Parisian museum, wore a casual white blouse and jeans for the scene.

"Carla and Woody got along incredibly well on the set. They talked constantly and laughed quite a lot between takes. Owen as well. They must have shot the same set-up, where she walks along holding a baguette in her hand going into a supermarket... around 32 (times)," said a source from the sets.

Midnight in Paris, which also stars Adrien Brody and Rachel McAdams, is scheduled for release in 2011.
