“I love him”: Monica Bellucci as a couple, she formalizes with a famous director

In an interview given to ELLE magazinepublished this Monday, June 26, Monica Bellucci – seen in a very chic look this Monday at the Jacquemus fashion show – formalized her relationship with Tim Burton, with whom she is preparing to shoot the next beetle juice (he as a director and her as an actress).

“What I can say… is that I’m glad I met the man, first of all. It’s one of those encounters that rarely happens in life… I know the man, I love him, and now I’m going to meet the director, another adventure begins. Me, I love Tim. And I have great respect for Tim Burton.“, declared the one who will soon be on display in a remastered version ofAsterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra by Alain Chabat (2002).

This idyll had been revealed by Paris Match last February. Our colleagues claimed that the 64-year-old American director and the 58-year-old Italian actress fell in love with each other in 2022. It all started in Lyon last fall, when the two stars were invited at the Festival Lumière.

Divorced from another film figure

Johnny Depp’s friend, with whom he has collaborated several times on films that have become cult like sleepy hollowthe legend of the headless horseman And Edward Scissorhands, was the guest of honor at the festival during which he had received a prize rewarding his entire career from the hands of the sublime Italian.

The two lovebirds dated out of sight for several months before the confirmation of their romance came out in the press. So far, neither had confirmed this information. So it’s done now. As a reminder, Monica Bellucci had lived a great story with Vincent Cassel. They dated for 18 years before divorcing in 2013. They have two daughters together: Deva and Léonie, born in Rome in 2004 and 2010.
