Italian model and singer CARLA BRUNI was seduced by French President NICOLAS SARKOZY's physique and intellect, she reveals in a new book.
The pair married in January (08) after a whirlwind romance, just months after he had divorced his ex-wife Cecilia.
Bruni, who counts Sir Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton among her ex-lovers, claims 53-year-old Sarkozy swept her off her feet.
In new tome Carla and Nicolas, The True Story, Bruni writes, "It all happened so suddenly. I wasn't expecting someone so funny, so full of life... I was seduced by his physique and his intelligence.
"He has five or six brains which are remarkably irrigated."
