Monica Bellucci has become the star of the new issue of Elle along with her compatriot Chiara Ferragni.
Regarding the passage of time, Bellucci does not feel any pressure because she feels radiant year after year: I am not afraid of getting old. It is not a disease: it is simply the continuation of femininity that expresses itself differently”.
A strong woman, Monica has always wanted to keep her daughters away from the maelstrom of the press: I make sure that my public life does not splash my daughters. And I don't mean my artistic choices; I am still a free actress. We talk about them, not about me. Even if I make mistakes, I would like to think that I have done everything to the best of my ability. Love is the key. A beloved child already has the answer to why he is on Earth.
And about her long film career, the Dolce & Gabbana muse explains that “I have a dark part of her, but I have enjoyed the opportunity to experience it through cinema. Otherwise, I would never have shot Irreversible, The Passion of the Christ, or Malena.
