Working with Woody Allen was a huge influence on actor Owen Wilson, as he grew enamored with the “City of Light” during the production of Midnight in Paris.

“I could easily live in the city, I think it’s just maybe my favorite city,” said Wilson during last weekend’s Cars 2 press conference.  “I love Rome.  I lived in Rome for a while working, and that’s beautiful and incredible.  But Paris obviously is beautiful but it’s also a real, functional city.  I have a couple of bicycles there so I always ride around.  I got one that was at my friend Wes Anderson’s and he got that one stolen.  So I don’t leave a bike with him anymore.”

Click on the media bar and listen to Wilson elaborate on his love for Paris (Cars 2 co-star Eddie Izzard is also heard in the clip).

Cars 2, which has Wilson voicing Lightning McQueen, opens Friday.  Midnight in Paris was #9 last weekend, taking in $5.2 million.
