London, Jan 20: Former Italian supermodel Carla
Bruni finds French people "miserable" and Paris "unbearably
polluted" but when it comes to her true love, she thinks that
President Nicolas Sarkozy is like "Napoleon Bonaparte".
"I like to be Italian. I like the Italian temperament
and I like Italian food. French people are in a bad mood for
some reason, and the Italian people are in a good mood.
"French people are always negative. They're also crazy
about their own language, so every time there's something
that's not in French, they get so mad about it," the newspaper quoted Bruni as saying.
When asked if the famously elegant Paris was a nicer
city than London, she said: "I don't think so. I've really
been surprised at how beautiful London is”.
"And in London you don't feel the pollution because
there are so many parks. In Paris, I live on the edge of the
city because it's the only place where you have green spaces.
In the middle of Paris, it's really hard, really unbearable."
However, Bruni said that she likened the 52-year-old
Sarkozy to the pop star prince and Napoleon Bonaparte, saying
they were short men with "attitude". But when asked if short
men had more attitude than taller men, she said: "Well there's
something in that -- Napoleon, Sarkozy..."
The 40-year-old pop singer also claimed that she
preferred older men as they're "immature" in matters of heart.
"They never get mature -- only age. A man is the way
he is at the age of 20, basically forever. They don't seem to
have an evolution. The older man is just older. They learn in
life and from their job but in relationships, what they are
they stay," she was quoted as saying.
