“My body helped me. Sometimes beauty creates masks”

Monica Bellucci looks back on her career and talks about her new love, Tim Burton. The Italian actress and model posed and gave an interview to the publication Harpers Bazaar Spain: “Is my figure objectified? It didn’t bother me. And then I also made the most of it my body in certain roleshow in Malena or Irreversible“.

The Italian star grew as a model thanks to Dolce & Gabbana before moving first to TV and then to movies. Bellucci admitted that it was easier for critics to emphasize her sex appeal than to praise her career as an accomplished model, and then an actress: “When I heard a critical attitude towards me, I learned it. Sometimes beauty creates masks“, according to the Daily Mail.
