Oscar winner denies 9/11 story

[faceless]

I doubt she could care less about getting work in Hollywood, so why not say what she thinks? Good on her.

[RaulRipp]

Absolutely, even if you don't agree with her, you've got to admire her cojones!

its a shame she didn't mention building 7 not being hit by a plane and still collapsing

fair play to her though, i'd not heard of her before - but the way its being covered i don't think it'll do anything to further debate towards getting a proper investigation along with tracing the money trail

[nekokate]

I love the retarded comments by readers under the story.

someone better check if water was spilt on the mogwai

how can she live where the wtc once stood? they haven't rebuilt anything yet ... or maybe they turned building 7 into apartments

I am glad that she has no anglo film ambitions. At least I won't be bombarded with trailers for her films that I will never go see....

Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard has been forced to make an embarrassing U-turn after suggesting 9/11 was a hoax. The 32-year-old French actress became the toast of Tinseltown after winning an Academy Award for her portrayal of tortured chanteuse Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.

The award plucked Cotillard from relative obscurity and booked her a place on the A-list. But an interview given to a French magazine more than a year ago has threatened her prospects in the US. Cotillard was quoted as saying she doubted whether the attack on the World Trade Centre was genuine, saying: "I think we are lied to about a number of things." She even went on to doubt whether the US really did put a man on the moon in 1969.

But faced with losing out on a career in the notoriously patriotic Hollywood film industry, the actress has claimed her comments were misunderstood and taken out of context. Her Paris-based lawyer Vincent Tolesano said: "Marion never intended to contest nor question the attacks of September 11, 2001, and regrets the way old remarks have been taken out of context."

The actress will be hoping the revelations do not damage her image ahead of the release of her new movie Public Enemies, in which she stars alongside Johnny Depp.

The fact her publisher has said this now puts her right down in my estimation. If she's not got the balls to stand by what she believes any more then bollocks to her.

I found out last year that John Wayne was a complete right-wing nut, but that will not affect my enjoyment of his movies - the same goes for that gun-toting maniac whose personal politics are utterly repugnant, Charlton Heston.

So if her comments were taken out of context, then let her publish the quote, context and all, and we'll all make our judgement accordingly.

[RaulRipp]

Looks like her cojones aren't that big after all!

unfortunately I will probably see the film because I love Edith Piaf. I could care less what she thinks about 9/11 but I may have to throw down with her over the lunar landing!!!

[SpursFan1902]

Crap, I didn't realize that was who she was. I guess I AM going to see the movie, but I just won't think about her. I will just see her as The Sparrow....
