Monica Anna Maria Bellucci (Italian: [ˈmɔːnika belˈluttʃi]; born 30 September 1964) is an Italian actress and model. She began her career as a fashion model, modelling for Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier, and Dior, before transitioning to Italian films and later American and French films.

Bellucci made her film debut in Francesco Laudadio's Italian comedy La Riffa (1991). The following year she played a Bride of Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's gothic horror romance film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). For her leading role in L'Appartement (1996), Bellucci received a nomination at the 1997 César Award for Most Promising Actress. She played Malèna Scordia in the Giuseppe Tornatore's acclaimed Italian romantic drama Malèna (2000). Bellucci starred in Gaspar Noé's controversial arthouse psychological thriller film Irréversible (2002), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

In 2004, she portrayed Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson's biblical drama The Passion of the Christ (2004). Bellucci portrayed Persephone in the 2003 science-fiction films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. At the age of 50, by appearing in the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, she became the oldest Bond girl in the history of the franchise. Bellucci has since acted in films such as The Whistleblower (2010), The Wonders (2014), On the Milky Road (2016), The Best Years of a Life (2019), The Man Who Sold His Skin (2020), and Memory (2022).

Among her accolades are two Globo d'oro Awards, two Nastro d'Argento Awards, a Donostia Award, and a David Special Award. Bellucci received the Knight insignia of the Legion of Honour in 2016. She is a permanent member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Early life

Monica Anna Maria Bellucci was born in Città di Castello, Umbria, on 30 September 1964.[1][2] She is the only child of Brunella Briganti, her mother, an amateur painter, and Pasquale Bellucci, her father, who owned a trucking company.[3][4] Bellucci grew up in Lama (now Selci-Lama), in the comune of San Giustino.[5][6]

Bellucci was known to be an "intelligent child".[3] Her parents described her as "discreet" and "aware of her advantageous physique", with a growing interest in fashion. She was distant from other children her age, regularly making detours to get home after school and did not spend time with them around the comune's public space, with her father recalling that she complained that everyone stared at her. By then, her father had helped her to gain self-confidence.[4]

Career

Modelling

Bellucci began modelling at age 13 by posing for a photographer friend of the family in Città di Castello.[7]

Piero Montanucci, a hairdresser at Città di Castello, discovered Bellucci, then an 18-year-old student, and she became his model, getting styled for her first professional photo shoots.[8] At that time, Montanucci was her mentor.[4]

Bellucci, who planned to become a lawyer, studied at the university of Perugia.[3][9] She was noticed by a friend of her father, the director of a fashion agency, and she made her runway debut.[10][11] Bellucci intended to finance her studies by working as a model. Thus, her modelling career began.[11][3] In 1988, Bellucci was featured on the cover of Vogue Spain and Elle France, photographed by Oliviero Toscani.[12][13]

While studying, a friend encouraged her to apply to Milan modelling agencies.[3] Bellucci moved to one of Europe's fashion centres, Milan, where Elite Model Management spotted her and signed her to a contract in 1989.[10][14] Her work as a model for Elite led her to travel soon after, and she decided to leave the university due to this context. Bellucci would say later that being a lawyer would not have suited her.[9] Modelling agent Piero Piazzi witnessed Bellucci's debuts and considered she could be an actress.[15] Represented by Elite, she appeared in numerous international advertising campaigns, and Dolce & Gabbana hired her to become its muse.[14][10]

By 1989, she became a prominent fashion model in Milan, Paris, and New York City.[16] Bellucci was the Italian model that fashion brands vied to sign her. She was already a millionaire.[17]

In 1991, Bellucci was the brand ambassador for French personal care L'Oréal.[18]

In the 1990s, Bellucci regularly appeared in "sexy" calendar shoots, beginning in 1997 at the age of 33 when Richard Avedon photographed her for the Pirelli Calendar. In 1999, Fabrizio Ferri photographed her for the Max magazine's calendar. She posed for the GQ calendar in 2000 and was photographed by Gian Paolo Barbieri.[19] In 1997, Bellucci became brand ambassador and muse to Cartier.[20][21] Cartier would also accompany Bellucci throughout her acting career, notably on the red carpets, wearing high jewellery collections.[22]

Bellucci first appeared on the cover of Paris Match in June 2001.[23]

In 2004, while pregnant with her daughter Deva, Bellucci posed nude for the Italian cover of Vanity Fair in protest against an Italian law that "restricts the provision of fertility treatment to stable heterosexual couples and excludes single women or same-sex couples". It also "restricts surrogacy and research using human embryos, forbids sperm and egg donation, and limits the number of embryos created with in-vitro techniques to three".[24]

From 2006 to 2010, Bellucci was one of Dior's brand ambassadors and the face of a range of products.[25][26]

In 2007, Cartier designed a collection of luxury diamond jewellery with Bellucci as the inspiration.[20]

She posed pregnant and semi-nude again for the April 2010 issue of Vanity Fair.[27] In 2010, Bellucci appeared in a television advertisement for Martini Gold, a collaboration between Martini and Dolce & Gabbana.[28]

In 2012, she became the face of Dolce & Gabbana's Monica Lipstick Collection.[29] Bellucci was signed to Storm Management in London and D'Management Group in Milan.[30][31] In December 2012, she made her eighth cover of Paris Match.[23]

In August 2015, Bellucci was featured on the cover of GQ Italy for the seventh time.[32]

In 2017, she made another appearance on the cover of GQ Italy.[33]

Bellucci was chosen as the face of German Nivea personal care products for its 2018 and 2019 campaigns.[34] She walked the runway for the Spring 2019 Milan fashion week for Dolce and Gabbana.[35] Joining her included Isabella Rossellini, Eva Herzigová and Helena Christensen, continuing the influx of 90s supermodels returning to the spotlight of fashion.[36]

In 2020, still an ambassador for Cartier, Bellucci was a model for the (Sur)Naturel high jewellery creations composed of emeralds, opals, beryls, sapphires, and diamonds.[22]

Throughout the decades, Bellucci appeared on the covers of Elle, IO Donna, German magazine Madame, Marie Claire, Maxim, and international editions of Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, and Vogue, among others.[37]

Acting

In early 1990, Bellucci transitioned to acting and began taking acting classes.[2]

She played some minor roles in La Riffa (1991) and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). In 1997, she was nominated for a César Award for Most Promising Actress for her portrayal of Lisa in The Apartment and strengthened her position as an actress.[38]

She became known and popular with worldwide audiences, following her roles in Malèna (2000), Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) and Irréversible (2002).

She has since played in many films from Europe and Hollywood like Tears of the Sun (2003), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), The Passion of the Christ (2004), The Brothers Grimm (2005), Le Deuxième souffle (2007), Shoot 'Em Up (2007), Don't Look Back (2009) and The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010).[39][40]

She also voiced Kaileena in the video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and the French voice of Cappy for the French version of the 2005 animated film Robots. She was supposed to be seen portraying Indian politician Sonia Gandhi in the biopic Sonia, initially planned for release in 2007, but it has been shelved.[41] Bellucci dubbed her own voice for the French and Italian releases of the film Shoot 'Em Up (2007), saying it was a frequent practice to "do each film three times".[42]

At 50, she became the oldest Bond girl ever in the James Bond film franchise, playing Lucia Sciarra in Spectre (2015).[43]

In 2007, Bellucci received a Donostia Award, an honorary award recognising her entire career.[44] She later appeared in the Australian film Nekrotronic.[45]

In 2021, she received a David Special Award to recognise her career achievement at the 66th David di Donatello ceremony.[46]

Other activities

Bellucci was mistress of ceremonies of the 56th Cannes Film Festival, presiding over the opening and closing ceremonies held on the Croisette from 14 to 25 May 2003.[47][48] From 17 to 28 May 2006, she was a jury member of the 59th Cannes Film Festival.[49] Bellucci returned to her role of mistress of ceremonies at the 70th Cannes Film Festival, in charge of opening and closing one of the major international film events, which took place from 17 to 28 May 2017.[50][51]

In 2017, Bellucci was invited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to be a permanent member representing Italy, becoming one of the voting juries responsible for awarding the annual Academy Awards (Oscars).[52][53]

Bellucci has been involved in French state dinners known for being official dinners chaired by the President of the French Republic and organised as part of foreign heads of state visits.[54] On 21 November 2012, she attended the state dinner hosted by French president François Hollande at the Elysée Palace in Paris on the occasion of the visit of Italian President Giorgio Napolitano and his ministers.[55] On 5 July 2021, she was invited to a state dinner hosted by French president Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée Palace in honour of Italian President Sergio Mattarella and his daughter Laura. Among the participants were French ministers, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton's co-founder, chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, Dior's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, Kering's chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault, and French actress Carole Bouquet.[56][57]

Public image

In 2001, Bellucci appeared on the cover of Esquire's Desire issue.[58] In his 2001 review of Malèna, CNN International's Paul Tatara called Bellucci a "world-class bombshell".[59] AskMen named her the number one ranking of the most desirable woman of 2002.[60] Paris' Grévin Museum unveiled a wax statue of her in April 2005.[61] Also dubbed "Bella Bellucci", she was called "arguably the world's most beautiful actress" by The Times staff writers. They suggested that she has, by contrast, the propensity to specialise in acting "[u]gly scenes", which they exemplified by the rape scene of the 2002 film Irreversible.[62] In 2005, Mark Salisbury of The Guardian wrote that she represents an "international object of desire" and said, "[i]n person, as on screen, Bellucci radiates a rare, otherworldly beauty."[9] French actor Bernard Blier said, "She's completely relaxed with her image and with her own sense of modesty as well."[9] Blier compared her to "Ava Gardner, the stars of yesteryear".[63] On 9 May 2008, the news magazine L'Obs reported on a survey of 1,003 people conducted by the Superior Audiovisual Council as part of Europe Day, where Bellucci was the second of the European personalities (excluding France) favourite of the French.[64]

In 2011, she was ranked fourth in Los Angeles Times Magazine's list of the 50 most beautiful women in film.[65] Bellucci was featured in Empire's "Sexiest Women" list.[58] She appeared on Men's Health's list of the "100 Hottest Sex Symbols of All Time", encompassing both women and men,[66] and the magazine's Australian edition also named her one of the "100 Hottest Women Of All Time", ranking her at No. 21.[67] In June 2021, Vogue ranked her fourth of the "most beautiful Italian actresses of all time".[68] She is considered an Italian sex symbol by the media.[19][9][69] Rolling Stone Italy included Bellucci in its "10 greatest sex symbols of the 1990s" list, in no particular order.[19] The press refers to her as a style icon.[70][57] In January 2023, Elisabeth Vincentelli of The New York Times wrote that she has a "reputation as a symbol of European glamour and sophistication" that is "firmly established".[71]

Personal life

At the age of 20, Bellucci married Italian photographer Claudio Carlos Basso; they divorced after six months.[72][73]

From 1989 to 1995, she had a relationship with Italian actor Nicola Farron.[74][75]

She met French actor Vincent Cassel on the set of their 1996 film The Apartment.[76] They married on 2 August 1999 in Monaco.[77] Bellucci and Cassel have two daughters, Deva Cassel (born 12 September 2004) and Léonie (born 21 May 2010). Their daughters were born in Rome.[78][79] Bellucci and Cassel acted together in nine films from 1996 to 2006.[80] The couple announced their separation on 26 August 2013[76] and later divorced.[81] At the end of 2014, Bellucci said she was still enamoured of Cassel; both have remained close ever since.[82]

After her divorce, Bellucci was in a relationship with French sculptor and former model Nicolas Lefebvre, who was then 37 years old. They made it official in early March 2019 during a Chanel show at the Grand Palais in Paris.[83] She announced the end of their relationship in early July 2019.[84]

She began dating American director Tim Burton in early 2023.[85]

Bellucci lived with Cassel and their daughters in Italy, France, Brazil, and England.[77] In 2015, she decided to settle in Paris. Bellucci has said that "Paris is part of my history" but considers herself "completely Italian". Everything in me is Italian."[86] She has houses in Rome and Lisbon[87] in the neighbourhood of Saint George's Castle.[88] During the coronavirus lockdowns, Bellucci and Cassel lived in two nearby houses on the Basque coast (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) so that the latter could see his daughters and thus continue to share parental duties.[89] She said she votes in Italy, not France.[90]

Bellucci is fluent in Italian, French, and English,[58] and has knowledge of Portuguese and Spanish languages.[88] She acted in Aramaic and Persian languages.[58][88] Deva became Dolce & Gabbana's muse at the age of 15 and, later, their runway model.[91][92] Her daughters' native language is Italian;[93] Deva spoke five languages ​​at the age of 16.[94]

Despite having received a Catholic education, Bellucci called herself an agnostic.[95] She said, "I am an agnostic, even though I respect and am interested in all religions ... If there's something I believe in, it's a mysterious energy; the one that fills the oceans during tides, the one that unites nature and beings."[58] She said of her personality that "a lot of positivity also depends on the climate in which my parents raised me."[96]

In 2009, Bellucci signed a petition in support of director Roman Polanski, who had been detained while traveling to a film festival in relation to his 1977 sexual abuse charges, which the petition argued would undermine the tradition of film festivals as a place for works to be shown "freely and safely", and that arresting filmmakers travelling to neutral countries could open the door "for actions of which no-one can know the effects."[97][98]

In 2020, GEDI Gruppo Editoriale's alfemminile website ranked Bellucci as the third richest actress in Italy, with wealth valued at $45 million.[99][100]
