Monica says:

โ€ข On her daughter: "Right now I don't know how to deal in my life without her. She's six months old and I've never left her, we're always together. But I don't know what's going to happen when she's older. I think life is going to change a bit."

โ€ข On how she is as a mother: "The typical Italian mother, very apprehensive. For Deva, I finally learned to cook: proteins at lunch, rice or pasta during the evenings, feeding-bottle before sleeping. And in the afternoons, after having played, a good snack. It's very tiring, but I certainly didn't give birth to a daughter to make her live only with a baby-sitter. For example, with vincent and me: becoming parents united us even more."

โ€ข On moving to the US: "They are obsessed with youth and beauty even more than us. There is this thing in America where actresses reach 40 and go mad. The film industry wants all these young people. They also like a different sort of woman. I will never be skinny. I also had a child a year ago, and I have been lazy. I love to eat. Who cares? I am natural."

โ€ข When asked if being beautiful is a handicap: "It is a handicap if you're stupid, but not if you are intelligent and know how to use your beauty. I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I'm beautiful. I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel. I'm a lucky person because I've been loved a lot. I have a great family."

โ€ข "Do I ever lose myself [in love]? Of course I do! And it's also important to lose yourself... For then in some way finding ourselves again. And to find another side of you. It's better to lose yourself because of love than because of heroin, don't you think?"

Wow.

From that site:
why we like her?

Monica Bellucci is all woman. She's insanely gorgeous, intelligent, cultured, talented, and can bring any man to his knees with one glance. It takes a lot to be named AskMen.com's Most Desirable Woman in the World, but Monica's got it all in spades.

why is she famous?

After roles in a list of Italian and French films, most notably Malena (2000) and Irreversible (2002), Monica Bellucci struck gold as Persephone in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.


overall rating
89


We'd like to say that Monica Bellucci is just a woman, but we would be lying. She is not a mortal woman; she is a cruel joke from Mother Nature with the sole purpose of driving men of all ages to the point of insanity. How can anyone be so beautiful? Why are perfect women like Monica rarer than a Chicago Cubs World Series title?

Alas, my friends, there are no answers. All we can do is enjoy the sight of a woman as irresistible as Monica Bellucci, and hope that the gods will be kind to mere mortals like us and give us more Monicas -- except those with "Lewinsky" as a last name. Lame joke, yes, but we can't help but be lame at the thought of Monica Bellucci. Even her name evokes beauty. We are weak, lame men because of her.

But who is Monica Bellucci? Actually, she's Italy's hottest acting export (after Sophia Loren, of course). This model-turned-actress generated a lot of buzz for her performance in Malena -- a story about a Sicilian woman who charms and enrages a little village.

Until 2003, she had limited exposure in large American features except for appearing in Dracula with Keanu Reeves and Under Suspicion with Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, but ever since her roles in Tears of the Sun and the Matrix sequels, North American audiences have been under her spell.


personality & talent
84



Let's be honest; you're not here to learn about her personality or talent, you want more pictures of Monica. Fine, we will oblige, but know this -- this beauty has brains.

Formerly a law student, Bellucci worked as a model to earn extra money, and we're thankful for that because her beauty would have been wasted in a courtroom. She is also a master at languages, as she is fluent in French and speaks English with only a slight trace of an American accent. She even pulled off Aramaic and Hebrew quite impressively, as Mary Magdalene in The Passion of the Christ (even though she barely speaks at all).

Monica Bellucci's acting talent has garnered her many accolades, especially for her work in L'Appartement, Malena and Irreversible.

sexiness
98

Can we say mamma mia 500 times? She is yet another Italian bombshell made from the same mold that produced Italian heart-attack-inducing star -- Maria Grazia Cucinotta.

At 5'10", she has the body of a goddess, the hair of a princess, and the lips of a siren. See? She has even managed to turn us into pathetic poets.

accomplishments & fame
79

With over 20 movies to her credit, she isn't a newcomer to the film industry, but it took more than a decade of working in Italian and French cinema for Bellucci to capture the world by storm.

In Italy, she can't buy a Big Mac without causing a commotion. And now, with roles in films like Tears of the Sun, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, and The Passion of the Christ, North Americans can get a taste of what Europe has been in love with for years.

In 2004, she can add The Brothers Grimm and She Hate Me (a Spike Lee Joint) to her resume.

natural beauty
96

Monica Bellucci started off as a model for fashion houses like D&G after moving to Milan, but then the acting bug bit her.

Monica is, in our humble opinion, beauty exemplified, and without a doubt one of the most beautiful women in the world. And her top spot in AskMen.com's 99 Most Desirable Women in the World (2002) is further proof of that. She leaves us speechless, and only seeing Pamela Anderson turn into a nun could do that.

personal style
90

Her classic good looks are matched by an equally sophisticated and refined fashion sense. Being a European woman, Monica Bellucci knows how a real woman should dress, and always steps out in elegant gowns and haute couture suits. You wouldn't catch her in a Juicy sweatsuit or ripped jeans, even if she were just lounging around at home.


That scientists use the ability to clone human beings, in order to have hundreds of women that look like Monica Bellucci.
