Heavenly Body! Xpose

Titian’s Venus and Homer’s Helen, metaphors each, for a bewitching beauty that could enchant gods and saints into sinful seductions. But even they would wither and burn in shame and envy if they were to but share daylight with the exquisite grace of the diva divine – Monica ‘ummm’ Belluci. Nature kissed her on the mouth and left the world green and gasping. As she blossomed, everything male in sight – either in thought or deed – just dropped and fell, if only to kiss the ground she walks upon! She’s spun a spell on the men and all that women can do is get intensely infuriated! No mortal could possibly possess such perfection, and even if they are born with such flawless features, time must take its toll, right? Wrong! At 42, the lady who says, “I believe that time destroys everything” looks not a day older than Aphrodite, as she bathed under the fountain of eternal youth. And she doesn’t diet and exercise to look her gorgeous self either, “I eat everything. I’m not fixated with getting skinny, I respect the natural” says Monica. She’s got the brains to compliment her lissome legs too; after all she was studying law before her part-time career took over her life!

Monica Bellucci isn’t just another pretty face, for she’s proved over and over that she can woo serious moviegoers as well, starting out with L’Appartement (1996) that won a nomination for the French equivalent of an Oscar. In her co-star of L’Appartement, Vincent Cassel, she discovered her future husband, with whom by the way she doesn’t share an apartment, so as to keep things from getting boring! English speaking audiences got a good look at the lady in Malèna (2000), a movie packed with some steaming hot scenes between Monica and a teenage boy. Monica has no qualms in appearing on-screen in her birthday suit, and has been caught saying, “I have shown my body because I do not object to nudity on-screen. That offends some people, I know, but not me.” More fame pursued her as she moved on to play Persephone in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions following which she portrayed Mary Magdelene in Mel Gibson’s labour of love, The Passion of the Christ. She’d even tried for the role of the Bond Girl but was rejected, much to the chagrin of Pierce Brosnan who holds that “Monica Bellucci is a ravishing beauty - a gorgeous, gorgeous woman”!
