another reason to love oscar winner parisian marion cotillard -- not blindly accepting what governments tell us is truth.
the british paper, the telegraph reports today that because of comments she made last year about 9/11, she faces embarrassment and a backlash in the US. blah blah! i hope it only earns her more fans and praise for speaking her mind. good timing to trot out those comments now after her new found fame...
"I think we’re lied to about a number of things," she said, singling out September 11.
Referring to the two passenger jets flown into the World Trade Centre, Miss Cotillard said: "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes, are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours.
It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."
Miss Cotillard suggested that the towers, planned in the early 1960s, were an outdated "money sucker" which would have cost so much to modernise that it was easier to destroy them.
the article also notes that the actress (who gave us the incarnation of edith piaf so beautifully), "is an environmental activist, who once worked as a spokeswoman for Greenpeace."
sorry, sarkozy, but not every parisian is kissing american ass these days.
