Francis Ford Coppola confirms he kissed extras on Megalopolis set

Describing the Guardian report as “totally untrue” Coppola said: “The young women I kissed on the cheek, in regards to the New Year’s scene, they were young women I knew.” Referring to the Guardian’s report on high crew turnover (and a previous article in the Hollywood Reporter) Coppola said: “The truth of the matter is, they were looking for some sort of dirt.”
