She may have picked up an Oscar for best actress for her performance as singer Edith Piaf in La Vien en Rose, but Marion Cotillard doesn’t sound like the sharpest knife in the draw when delivering lines not written for her by studio writers.

The French Twit said during a press conference in Paris that 9/11 was an American conspiracy.  She suggested that the Twin Towers were so outdated that it would have cost so much to modernize them that it was easier to destroy them.

“I think we’re lied to about a number of things,” she said, calling 9/11 a conspiracy.

She was quoted in several European newspapers about 9/11, “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.”

In earlier statements on the same subject, which didn’t receive much media attention at the time, and rightly so, Cotillard said that there were financial motives to destroy the buildings, because they had become outdated and it would have been expensive to remodel them.

Oh, and this rocket scientist of an actress doubts very much whether a man walked on the moon.  “Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered.  And in any case I don’t believe all they tell me, that’s for sure.”

Cotillard has been involved in environmental activism and has served as a spokesperson for Greenpeace.  Perhaps that explains her naivety.

The actress is due to start filming Public Enemies with Johnny Depp, a Chicago gangster movie.  After these widely publicized comments she should be as welcomed in America as Rosie O’Donnell.
