Monica Bellucci has rightfully earned her place as one of the most beautiful and celebrated Italian actresses worldwide. Yet, time is relentless, and no one can escape the inevitable changes that come with age. This September, Monica will mark her 60th birthday, and the media has been abuzz with discussions about her appearance. Critics claim she has lost her signature beauty, gained weight, and even refer to her as an aging woman.

More surprisingly, some have gone as far as to accuse the actress of refusing cosmetic surgery, avoiding Botox, and steering clear of fillers to smooth wrinkles or soften her nasolabial folds. Everyday observers often express confusion over why Monica, who has the resources and access, chooses to age naturally. They point out flaws like under-eye bags, sagging eyelids, and the so-called “Venus rings” on her neck.

However, all this noise seems to leave Monica unfazed. She remains at peace with her appearance and steadfast in her decision to avoid going under the knife. There are no lip augmentations or facelifts for her. Monica’s beauty lies in her understated elegance, often showcased with minimal makeup.

In a heartwarming twist, last year, Monica officially confirmed her romantic relationship with renowned American filmmaker Tim Burton. The couple made their red-carpet debut in October 2023 at the Rome Film Festival, radiating charm as a pair.

In an interview with Elle magazine, the Italian actress shared candidly:
“Above all, I am grateful to have met this person. It’s one of those rare encounters in life that feels truly extraordinary.”
