Woody Allen: No one wants to see me flirt with Diane KeatonWoody Allen is done playing the romantic lead and is leaving that lovey-dovey stuff to the younger stars. In a candid new interview, the filmmaker says it's a joke to see two senior citizens getting steamy on screen. "I can't be the love interest any more. I can't play opposite Scarlett Johansson, it's not appropriate," Allen, 75, tells the Guardian of the 26-year-old "Match Point" and "Scoop" star. "So what can I do? I'd love to have a wonderful tour de force part with Diane Keaton but the problem is… doing what?" Though Allen and the "Annie Hall" actress, 65, may have made a great team in his films from the '70s, he doesn't believe they'd still have the same sizzle. "Nobody wants to see two septuagenarians get it on," he explains. "People may say they do but they don't. They want to see Leonardo DiCaprio chasing after Scarlett Johansson. They don't want me flirting with Diane Keaton."

I believe SoonYi has been diagnosed with Old Pole syndrome. The only know cure is to switch sides, aka become a lesbian.

I feel that anyone who would have to watch Woody Allen flirt with anyone should keep a barf bucket handy! Ewwwww!!
As much as I dislike Woody Allen, you need to understand he is NOT Soon Yi's adoptive father, and never was. He may be a slime-ball to have even dated Soon Yi, but he is not her father in any way.
So he's saying it's not appropriate to be in a movie opposite Scarlet Johansson? Isn't he the same guy who married his teen aged, adopted daughter? I'm not sure I trust his judgment on what is "appropriate."
The poop jokes are old and not even funny. Its quite boring actually.
Yes my wood will give you splinters so, don't forget little girls to put on gloves before you handle my wood.
Tuurd nocker?
I bet Woody leaves on his watch and black socks when he does it. just not feelin it!
Too early in the blog for p00p jokes. Be more creative!
Oh Sunni, you make me wish I wasn't your adoptive father.

Guess what Woody, you were NEVER qualified to play a romantic lead.
Thank you for saying it.
