Woody Allen has defended his marriage to Soon-Yi Previn, admitting that it “looked exploitative” to the “outside world”.
Previn, who was a college student when the pair’s relationship first began, is the adopted daughter of Allen’s former partner, Mia Farrow.
In a 2015 interview, Allen described his relationship with Previn as “paternal”. He said: “I’m 35 years older, and somehow, through no fault of mine or hers, the dynamic worked.
In the past, I had always gone out with actresses, but for whatever inexplicable reason, with Soon-Yi it worked.”
