Woody Allen was more interested in a stain on his hand than filming the much-talked about lesbian kiss between Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson.
Spanish beauty Penelope revealed that the director was so concerned about a mark that had mysteriously appeared on his hand that he left the set to go to see a dermatologist.
The director had been filming a scene between Penelope and co-star Scarlett where they kiss in a darkroom for the film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which premiered last night at London Film Festival’s Sky Movies HD Gala.
“Everyone’s been talking about this kiss between me and Scarlett but on the day all the attention was on Woody and the stain on his hand,” she said.
“Even when we resumed filming he was still looking at it!”
Meanwhile, the director was forced to skip the premiere because it clashed with his children’s half-term.
A source told Metro: “Usually he brings his whole family with him when he gooes to premieres but because it clashed with half-term he had to miss it.”
None of the film’s other stars Scarlett, Javier Bardem, and Rebecca Hall attended the premiere.
