Famous Italians and Italians

Monica Bellucci: "I was unashamedly lucky"

“This year I will be 50, and I just got divorced,” - Corriere della Sera reporters interviewed the incomparable Monica Bellucci:

"I like Italians. No, I never felt attracted to women, but if I were homosexual, my life would be much simpler. We, Italians, are special. And dangerous: we have a very strong maternal instinct and some atavistic femininity. In "we managed to take our country of men, and men will not forgive us for this. The most famous Italian in the world is her, Monica Bellucci. When she entered the restaurant of the Paris Hotel Costes, located directly on the Champs Elysees, all the men stood up. Leggings, boots, a plaid shirt. Six oysters, foie gras, half a bottle of Bordeaux. "Our mothers at 25 years old, if they have not yet married, were considered old maids. This year I will turn 50, and I just got divorced. Someone will consider me crazy."

Love

You once said: "Sex is possible without love, but love without sex is never." Do you think so now?

"No. Then I was young: a kind of young beast. I listened to my body more. Now I know that there can be excellent sex with a person you don’t love, and not so good with a loved one. No, I have never experienced unrequited love "But men began to disgust me, striving not to protect me, but to possess me. I paid a very high price for my freedom."

Another time, Monica, you spoke out that in every woman there is "a little bit of a prostitute."

“I said this in order to advertise the film in which the prostitute played. No, I don’t think so. And this time I don’t have to advertise anything. I’m doing the film Kusturica in Serbia. Filming will last a year, in the heart of the wild.”

Career

"In the movie I always expressed the pain of women. I became Maria Magdalene for Mel Gibson: a manic workaholic, the shooting never stopped, in the cave city of Matera we spent more than one month. I was raped in Irreversibility: the audience in Cannes was in turmoil, but I’m ready to defend this film, I’m not used to retreating even if the director demands hard scenes from me, you need to have the courage to explore the dark corners of your soul in order to get a chance to clear them. And I was Malena at Tornatore: a woman who was considered in her town nothing more than a thing to respect again after my husband returns. I have always been given the roles of queens or slaves. I was also Tuscan Napoleon’s mistress with Virzi: sometimes I want to play an entertaining role. "

“In real life, I turned out to be unashamedly lucky. At sixteen I studied at the Lyceum, but missed two weeks a year to defile in Milan and Paris. I was chosen as a model for Oliviero Toscani: he needed a girl of my age and with such like mine, with hair long and dark; and if Tuscany didn’t like me, a replacement was already ready for me. But I liked it. I also posed for Avedon and Newton, the latter at that time was 82 years old, a wonderful man. "
"I am an absolute Italian, and my idols whom I follow are great Italian actresses. I never studied dramatic art: I looked at Magnani, Mangano, Lollobrigida, Cardinal, Vitti, Virna Lizi. Sophia Loren in "Special Day" is just superb".

For a long time they wrote about you that you do not know how to play.

"And at first they were right. But I thought to myself: if I am so terrible, why spoil so many pages to say so? I started with Francis Ford Coppola. Then I played with De Niro, Depardieu, Keanu Reeves. I worked for five months Hawaii with Bruce Willis. It’s not true that all men are trying to have an affair with me. On the contrary. Beauty sometimes scares, creates a distance. I like difficult personalities: they remind me of me. For this reason, I found a common language with Deneuve. "

Ex-husband

"At twenty, I married Claudio Carlos Basso, a photographer, and we broke up after six months. Disappointment. We lived with Vincent Kassel for eighteen years. We met him on the set of the movie" Apartment ". An unbearable attraction." Why is it all over? "The relationship has exhausted itself. We both have changed, but in different ways. We have become parallel lines that will never intersect."

Do you and Kassel have a different life now?

“There is no daily routine in our profession. It makes no sense to ask each other questions: what did you do, whom did you see. As a result, each pair establishes a common space and personal. Today we are still united by a deep mutual affection: I will rush if he needs me, and I know that he will do the same. We spent Christmas together in the mountains with our two children. I don’t know if he has anyone. But I am alone now. "

They wrote that you met with an Azerbaijani producer?

"Nonsense. I was invited to one of his parties in Turkey, there was still Richard Gere; and there was his wife there. Now I am alone. For the first time in my life there is no man standing behind me. And I can do it. I work on myself : I analyze, look deep into myself. I tried hypnosis and regained the childhood memories that I had lost. I could have spent my maturity sitting in a velvet chair; but I decided to get up, take a chance. And I feel that it should be so. I don’t I'm afraid. "

Italy

"My daughters were born in Rome and have only an Italian passport, just like me. The 9-year-old Virgin (Deva) has an Indian name, Leonie is 3 years old and has an old French name, but I wanted the girls to open their eyes in my country. It’s like they’ll be protected here. I have their photos on my phone, do you want to see it?

The daughters of Bellucci and Kassel confirm the laws of genetics.

"Italy is in a difficult position today. But when I say abroad that I am Italian, everyone sighs with envy. I still have a house in London full of energy: I do not like to see Rome and Milan so oppressed."
