Woody Allen surprised about statue of him in northern Spain

Woody Allen has said he’s utterly puzzled why a Spanish town has erected an statue in his honour.

Woody explained recently: “Ovieto is a lovely town in Spain. I went there a couple of times, and, without asking me, they erected this statue.

“I never saved someone from drowning and they put a statue up of me in the town. I thought it was a joke.

“Maybe when I leave town they take it in and when Brad Pitt comes to town, they put his statue out.”

“It’s a good statue of me; I’ve got my sports jacket on and corduroy trousers.”

“People keep stealing the glasses [though]. They’re welded on. Guys come with blow torches at night and they take the glasses off and steal them.”
