"It would be funny to pretend I'm 20!", Monica Bellucci tells how

Italian actress Monica Bellucci recently revealed in an interview some very personal aspects of her childhood, family, and emotional formation.

Alongside her two daughters, Deva and Leoni, 20 and 15 years old, the actress, beloved by millions of people, has spoken about her relationship with them.

"The girls are the center of my life. I try to give them freedom, but they also give me valuable advice. We experience real moments together: we look each other in the eye, we talk from the heart," says Bellucci.

Further, as she focused on her age, she said that " it would be ridiculous to pretend that I'm still 20 or 30 years old."

Aging isn't easy for her either, but everyone copes with it in their own way, she says.

"Of course, aging is not easy and everyone copes with it in their own way. In the mornings I may see one more wrinkle, but it's normal. As long as I'm not in pain, I enjoy my cappuccino and I feel very lucky. In my life, beauty and sensuality have probably been masks, while now I express what I feel differently," she said.

"I feel the sun more strongly now, like it's going to burn me. My body no longer has the melanin of youth to protect me. The summers when I spent all day in a bikini, on boats, now seem far away... However, it's still fun from time to time," she tells Marie Claire.

She also talked a little about her relationship with Tim Burton, with whom she also shot a film. Asked if there would be other joint projects, she said that the priority is the partner and not the work.

"I like this creative part, when you are inspired by the other and vice versa. But the most important thing now is the relationship: the priority is the partner, then the work," she said.

As an only child in the family, she indicated that she felt the absence of a brother or sister.

"I liked having my parents all to myself, but around the age of 8-9, I felt the absence of a brother or sister. Fortunately, I had many cousins and friends that I loved. Our connections have been preserved even after decades ," she said.
