She starred in a major production of the new love of her life – the director Tim Burton. And the film is a sequel to his 90s dark comedy classic Beetlejuice.

At 60, Monica Bellucci is still one of the biggest and hottest stars on the planet. She is an embodiment of Italian beauty, realized by Fellini in the middle of the last century. Bellucci breaks through as a model and quickly finds his way into the cinema. He created memorable images in French films such as “Doberman” and “The Apartment”, then he conquered Hollywood with “Dracula”, and at home in Italy he won as “Malena”, which became a hit around the world.

Monica Bellucci auditioned for “Irreversible” and played Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson’s megahit “The Passion of the Christ”, where she partnered with Bulgarians Hristo Shopov and Hristo Zhivkov. Bellucci was one of the good things in the Matrix series too. And at the age of 50, she became the oldest “Bond girl” in the history of 007 films in 2015 “Spectre”.
But we find her way to world fame in a little more detail. Monica Anna Maria Bellucci, as her full name is, was born in Italy in 1964. After graduating from high school, she began studying law. Along with her dream of becoming a lawyer, she also works as a model in a local fashion agency. Even before she finished her law degree, Bellucci was already one of Botuscha’s most famous models and dropped out of school soon after.

At the age of 25, Bellucci started attending a theater club and a year later he got his first film role in an Italian production. At the same time, she became popular with “Dolce & Gabbana”, who often invited her to be the face of advertising in their campaigns.

Offers for her for attractive, prestigious and attractive roles began to come from foreign directors, since Monica is well versed in Italian, English, French and Spanish.

This was followed by a galaxy of memorable incarnations in films such as the adaptation of Luciano Venchezoni’s novel “Malena”, where she plays the beautiful Malena, a widow in the Second World War, who is able to deceive only with her eyes. In “Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra” Bellucci is responsible for being the Egyptian ruler Cleopatra, in “The Brothers Grimm” she will be the Queen of Mirrors, and in “Passion of the Christ”, as we said about Early on, Monica is Mary Magdalene herself.

Other memorable films with her participation are “Dracula”, “Secret Agents”, “Crying of the Sun”, “Under Suspicion”, “The Secret Life of Pippa Lee”, “The Matrix”, and when “The Apartment” was shot. “she met and with her husband – the French actor Vincent Cassel. They were together for more than 15 years before they separated and they have two daughters, 20-year-old Deva and 14-year-old Leonie, and have a career Kaka already has a successful model.

In every film with her participation, Bellucci is different, unconventional and shows an amazing artistic presence. She knows very well how valuable her beauty is and talks freely about her role as a global sex symbol.

“I came to cinema from fashion circles. This is a double problem – a beautiful appearance and a role on the podium. Absolute guarantee that you will be considered a fool in your next endeavors. But beauty is like a mask that needs to be removed to reveal the truth and make it clear that there is something behind the shiny package, something beyond the glamorous covers,” says the star.

She is aware that her appearance inspires many kinds of curiosity. In this context, Monica likes to quote Oscar Wilde, who said that beauty only lasts five minutes if you can’t keep that curiosity. “I don’t think I would have had the career I would have had if I had relied solely on beauty. Directors are not looking for you because of your looks, but because of your talent,” said Bellucci.

He is not afraid of old age

In her interview, Monica Bellucci says that she is not afraid of old age. “There are so many women who feel free to age differently,” she said. He says he eschews heavy training and strict diets and instead prefers wine and pasta and the occasional session Pilates. “I’m not obsessed with looking perfect. I have always been a curvy woman and I have never been too skinny. That’s my nature. And I want to age peacefully. When you are 50 or 60 you don’t have the same needs as you do. when you’re 20,” she said.

“Life goes on. Physics is getting old and we have to accept that. There’s nothing we can do about it. At the same time, we’re lucky because if we get old, it’s means we’ve lived a long life. As the body declines, the soul grows,” Bellucci said.
