Although there have been countless anecdotes about Francis Ford Coppola over the years, his scandalous behavior has never been captured on tape. The director’s passion project, the making of his ambitious “Megalopolis” film, turned him into a volatile person.
A documentary on the production of “Megalopolis” earlier this year showed the disgusting actions Francis Ford Coppola used toward his actors and crew. But in a recently released video, which appeared on the internet, he can be seen approaching an extra. Francis presented a picture of himself that the majority of people were unfamiliar with.
Francis Coppola belongs to the classic Hollywood era
The dark side of Hollywood filmmaking before the internet made it hard for them to lead more private lives is something that moviegoers don’t realize. Francis Ford Coppola was a member of the Hollywood elite, a group with immense influence that allowed them to pretty much do anything they wanted.
A new video of Francis Ford Coppola grabbing and kissing female extras on the set of ‘MEGALOPOLIS’ has surfaced online.
He reportedly announced with a microphone to the entire set, “Sorry, if I come up to you and kiss you. Just know it’s solely for my pleasure.”

Because there were no cameras in the 1970s and 1980s, powerful celebrities could act however they pleased as long as the local media stayed out of their business. For some reason, Francis Ford Coppola acted as though he was still in the same century while working on this passion project. The people at Variety were able to get and leak the video.
