SHC :: Monica Bellucci

You've seen her in The Matrix (Reloaded and Revolutions), you've probably seen her in The Passion of the Christ, you may even have seen her in the Brothers Grimm, but that's just the tip of the iceberg for this Italian actress.




Monica is now 41 years young, and I'm not saying that because she's young compared with me (she's 8 years older), but because she looks so fine you can barely believe it. Born in Italy she has been in many films in her native Italy, but she finally started to break through when she stared as the lead in Malena, and then later in Under Suspicion and Irreversible (which was Nominated for the Golden Palm Award at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival). It was the Matrix sequels that really shot her to the limelight and the magazine spreads have taken over from there.
Fluent in Italian, English, and French, she has acted in all of these languages including Aramaic (in The Passion of the Christ). Despite all this in truth she is known as being one seriously hot chick, and it's not surprising that she was once signed on with Elite Model Management (1988).
