“I wasn’t as professional”: Monica Bellucci admiring her daughter Deva Cassel, also an actress and model

On the occasion of his return to the cinema in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2”Monica Bellucci confided in Madame Figaro last August on her relationship with motherhood, she who gave birth twice late in life. She spoke about the birth of Deva and Léonie, the fruit of her love affair with actor Vincent Cassel. “I was 40 for Deva, 45 for Léonie, but I don't consider myself a good example, because I took enormous risks. Before, I couldn't, anyway. I worked and traveled so much! I didn't have time for anything.”she had first explained. Then add: “I loved going off with my backpack on, alone, on an adventure. Knowing myself, if I hadn't had this professional background before, a part of me would have been frustrated, and I probably wouldn't have been the best mother”.

Monica Bellucci, late mother

Tim Burton's companion then made it clear that she did not consider herself an example but that this journey had been important to her. “The fact of having had them when I decided allowed me to experience the time I devoted to them as a real pleasure and never a sacrifice”she added. And to regret: “Women have evolved, but not the condition of mothers: births have fallen due to too great a social burden. Otherwise, how can we explain that little girls do just as well at school, boys often do better, but that their careers don't follow? It's very complicated to be a working mother. After three months, most young mothers return to their professional activity.

The actress praises Deva, her eldest

In an interview given to our sisters at the magazine Ellethe actress admitted to being “nostalgic” since Deva Cassel left the house. We will soon find her in a series adapted on Netflix from Cheetah, by the Italian writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and everything seems to be smiling on the actress who took her first steps in The Beautiful Summer last November. The eldest of the couple, formerly formed by Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci, travels around the world and follows in the footsteps of her illustrious mother who nevertheless refuses the comparison between their careers. “At 20, she is full of enthusiasm but she has been working since the age of 16, she has taken the time to mature”began by confiding the actress. And to conclude with pride: “She made her way slowly, passed her baccalaureate, speaks five languages… I was not as professional as her at the time“.
