Just like her parents Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, Deva Cassel launched into cinema. While continuing her career as a top model, the young woman accepted a first role under the camera of Laura Luchetti. For “La Bella Estate”, Deva Cassel plays Amelia. The story? It is that of Ginia who left the family home with her brother. In Turin, in 1983, she left to find work in the city and was particularly creative in sewing. She thus landed a position in a workshop and became fascinated by a young woman who was a model for artists.
A new actress, Deva Cassal has rejected this profession for a long time. As she confided in the columns of “Madame Figaro”, it was the incessant comments from fans that ended up annoying her. “Because my parents are actors, people wanted to make this profession my obvious choice, to choose for me. In reaction, I made a sort of rejection. Without forcing anything, my parents tried to pass on to me a cinema culture but I was not always receptive (…) Fashion interested me much more than films.” explained Deva Cassel.
