Working relationship: The 41-year-old actress worked with Brad Pitt for the project as many rumours swirled around about their relationship 

Marion did not hold a grudge when the gossip floated around as she said: 'I never take anything personally when it doesn't concern me.

 'So I didn't take it personally because I had nothing to do with those rumors or situation.'

She was then pressed by interviewer Matt Lauer who asked if she had let any of the whispers effect the making of the movie.

'No I don't give energy to this': She said the whispers did not effect how she felt about the filming of the movie

Marion replied: 'No I don't give energy to this and it was a wonderful, wonderful experience working with such a visionary director and amazing actor so that's all that matters.'

The La Vie En Rose star's been with her partner Guillaume Canet since 2007, and the pair have a five-year-old son named Marcel. They family are also expecting another child.

In September, after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from her husband of two years, speculation abounded that his on-set relationship with Cotillard might have been at least partially culpable.

A day after the divorce announcement, the Inception actress sought to quash the talk by way of an Instagram caption.

She insisted that 'many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need.' 

As the French beauty shares several steamy scenes with Brad, she was asked what it was like filming those sex scenes.

Marion said doing the choreography eased the tension just a little bit as she said: 'It's always an awkward situation, but it's also a very fun situation because it's awkward.'

As Brad had to speak in French for the film, the actress was impressed with his determination to get the accent right.

She explained: 'He did an amazing job, and his commitment to speak French and to be fair with the language [was admirable].'

Their film is centered around an intelligence officer and French Resistance fighter who fall in love on a mission as their relationship is tested by the pressures of war.

Allied - directed by Robert Zemeckis is - set for release on November 23 in the US with a UK release following on 25 November.
