In an exclusive interview, Monica Bellucci reveals details about her relationship with director Tim Burton, referring to him as a ‘spectacular soul‘ – an endearing affirmation that comes months after the pair were first linked.. ”I found in Tim [Burton] a wonderful spirit. I met a spectacular soul,” she expressed in a conversation translated from Spanish. This blossoming romance follows a decade after her split from actor Vincent Cassel, to whom she was married for 14 years and shares two daughters, Deva, 18, and Leoni, 13.
Bellucci also candidly discussed the challenges of fame, describing it as a ”double-edged sword” that sparks curiosity but can also lead to mixed emotions. ”Fame is a double-edged sword, it causes a lot of curiosity and can also provoke conflicting feelings,” she elaborated. Despite her high-profile status, the actress emphasized the importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy and privacy in her daily life. ”When I am not working, I like to lead a normal life – I go shopping, I take my daughters to school.” Monica’s grounded approach to life, despite her global fame, is truly refreshing.
