Jan. 22 2010, Published 7:30 a.m. ET
After a magazine article claimed Angelina Jolie was having an affair with her dialect coach, Howard Samuelsohn- the coach for her upcoming film Salt- spoke to RadarOnline.com exclusively to put the rumors to rest.
“I’m 5’6, I’m 51 years old, and I’ve never been to The Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, where the alleged affair occurred,” Samuelsohn said. “I would like for someone to get the word out. The story is total bulls--t.”
While he was listed as the only dialect coach for the film, Samuelsohn did say there were actually five other coaches working on the project but defended his colleagues’ honor as well.
“No way, no way! The thing is this is all crap. I’m sure it was not a dialect coach. If it was somebody I’m sure it was not a dialect coach,” he said adamantly. “What we do is very discreet, if you did stuff like that, you wouldn’t get hired.”
As for Jolie, Samuelsohn had nothing but kind words, calling the actress “sweet” and “great.”
