While saying the Guardian’s report that he tried to kiss female extras was ‘totally untrue’, the director told Rolling Stone ‘they were young women I knew’
Francis Ford Coppola says that he did kiss film extras on the set of his forthcoming film Megalopolis but that “they were young women I knew”.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Coppola responded to a question about a report in the Guardian that said the director tried to kiss female extras during preparation for a “bacchanalian nightclub scene”, and that significant numbers of crew left the project during production.
