Larry David has come out in support of Woody Allen after reading his memoir and claimed he’s done nothing wrong.

The comedian read the director’s memoir Apropos of Nothing, in which Woody addressed his affair with Soon-Yi Previn and the allegations of abuse made by his former partner Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter Dylan.

Larry, 72, believes it would be ‘hard’ for people to not believe the director’s innocence after finishing the book.

He told the New York Times: ‘[The book is] pretty great, it’s a fantastic book, so funny.

‘You feel like you’re in the room with him and yeah, it’s just a great book and it’s hard to walk away after reading that book thinking that this guy did anything wrong.’

The Annie Hall director slammed the ‘loonies’ who had questioned his relationship with Soon-Yi, adopted daughter of his former girlfriend Mia Farrow.

He wrote: ‘I knew Mia was fond of telling people I had molested her underage daughter when in fact Soon-Yi was 22, and of course our love, which has resulted in a marriage of over twenty years, was hardly molestation…

‘There are still loonies who think I married my daughter, who think Soon-Yi was my child, who think Mia was my wife, who think I adopted Soon-Yi, who think that Obama wasn’t American.

‘But there was never any trial. I was never charged with anything, as it was clear to the investigators nothing had ever occurred.’

In 1992, a babysitter informed Mia that she had witnessed Woody behaving strangely with the couple’s then-seven-year-old Dylan.

The Midnight In Paris director still maintains his innocence against Dylan’s allegations, claiming he ‘never laid a finger’ on her.

He wrote: ‘I never laid a finger on Dylan, never did anything to her that could be even misconstrued as abusing her; it was a total fabrication from start to finish, every subatomic particle of it, no different from I’m the Goglia character.

‘The sheer illogic seemed to me dispositive.’
