The star of the movie Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulin refused to meet the director of Da Vinci Code because the screen tests interfered with her vacation.
Director Ron Howard was very persistant, and she finally accepted to do the screen tests with co-star Tom Hanks.
Tautou claimed, "I didn’t refuse to see him. He was doing one day of casting where he was going to meet everyone, but I was in Mexico."
