Monica Bellucci

Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress and former model, born on September 30, 1964, in Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy. She began her career in fashion modeling during the late 1980s, working with major brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Dior before transitioning to acting in the early 1990s. Bellucci gained international recognition with her roles in Malèna (2000), where she portrayed a mysterious and persecuted widow, and later in films like Irreversible (2002), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and The Passion of the Christ (2004), where she played Mary Magdalene. Known for her beauty, elegance, and versatility, she became one of Europe’s most prominent actresses and one of the few Italian stars to achieve global fame. In 2015, she made history as the oldest Bond girl at the time, appearing in Spectre alongside Daniel Craig. Fluent in several languages, Bellucci has acted in Italian, French, and English films, earning a reputation as both an international sex symbol and a serious dramatic talent.
