Monica Bellucci (born September 30, 1964,
Città di Castello, Umbria) is an Italian supermodel and actress. She is
married to fellow actor Vincent Cassel, with whom she has appeared with
in several films and had a daughter, named Deva.
Initially pursuing a career as a lawyer,
Monica decided to start modeling in order to help pay for her tuition
while at the University of Perugia, but the glamorous lifestyle tempted
Monica away from her law studies.
In 1988, Monica moved to one of Europe's
fashion centers — Milan, where she signed with Elite Model Management.
By 1989, Monica was becoming prominent as a model in Paris and across
the Atlantic, in New York City. She posed for Dolce & Gabbana and French
ELLE, amongst others. In that year, Monica made the transition to acting
and began taking acting classes.
She speaks Italian, French and English
fluently and has acted in all these languages as well as Aramaic in The
Passion of the Christ. In 2004, she topped AskMen's 100 Most Beautiful
Women in the World annual list.
