From IMDB:
Actress Marion Cotillard has hit out at media reports she questioned the official account of the September 11 terrorist atrocities in New York, insisting her remarks were "taken out of context." The French star - who scooped the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in Edith Piaf biopic La Vie En Rose - has landed in controversy after a 2007 interview surfaced in which she controversially blasted the accepted theory the World Trade Center was brought crashing down by planes. But Cotillard's lawyer, Vincent Toledano, insists the 32-year-old "never intended to contest nor question the attacks of September 11, 2001, and regrets the way old remarks have been taken out of context."

Her words were taken out of context in much the same way that a wife or girlfriend would take the statement 'I would really like to sleep with that French chick from the Edith Piaf movie' out of context.

Yuppers. But at least she seems to realise she said some really stupid things...which puts her ahead of most twoofers.
 
I doubt that anyone would ever be able to find out, but I wonder what she thinks of France's greatest conspiracy, the Dreyfus case.
 
Have you seen the movie "Ronin?" where they have the car chase - shoot-em up in the tunnels?

Hmmm, Princess Diana, I wonder. The French were IN ON IT - 111!!!

Yeah, and it was directed by John Frankenheimer, who also did the brilliant "Manchurian Cadidate" with Lawrence Harvey, which was about brainwashing and political assassination... A year before JFK!

Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard maintains that her comments about the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center were "taken completely out context and [have] been crafted into a story that has no merit." Appearing on the syndicated TV show Access Hollywood, Cotillard was asked about her 2007 comments in which she appeared to suggest that the attacks were staged. "At no point did I intend to contest the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001, one of the most tragic days in all of history," she said. "Nonetheless, I sincerely regret if my comments offended or hurt anyone."

'I sincerely Regret"?
Maybe she will a new verse to the Piaf Song "I Regret Nothing" about this.....

Most people had heard of her only vaguley before the Oscar Win...
She might be a scatterbrained fool,but she was Very Good as Edith Piaf in "La VIe En Rose" and it is well worth wathcing.
 
The stigma of being a truther is so bad she still feels the need to backpedal.

Toronto Sun, April 5 2011

"Cotillard tells The New Review magazine, "You know, I know how the media work. And I have to be honest: it was really stupid for me to talk about something that serious in a TV show at one in the morning. But we were talking about something totally different and I gave an example of what I had seen. And it was not very smart. But still: what was written out of it was very different from what I said...

""I didn't say that (the attacks were fake). The first reason is that I know people who have lost members of families or friends that were in those planes. So how could I believe in the conspiracy theory? It's nonsense." "
 
To be fair, it is likely she was responding to a question. I doubt she would engage this topic by herself in an interview since as you point out, she does not have any other option but to backpedal.

Good point. She's probably sick of the topic by now, and probably wishes she'd never said anything.
