A JOKE about the 9/11 terrorist attacks was cut from Jean Dujardin's new film so he could win an Oscar, it emerged today.
The 39-year-old star of The Artist scooped the best actor statue in Hollywood on Sunday.
In the scene in Les Infidèeles Dujardin plays an unfaithful New York husband who takes a girlfriend to a hotel room.
Behind him while he is talking to his wife on the phone is a window through which an airliner can be seen flying into the World Trade Center. Dujardin has his back to it and says to his wife: "Yes, yes, my darling, everything is fine!"
