Monica Bellucci was born in Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy,[3] the daughter of Maria Gustinelli, a painter, and Luigi Bellucci, who owned a trucking company.[4] Bellucci started modelling at 16, when she was attending to the Liceo Classico. Initially pursuing a career as a lawyer, modeling helped Bellucci finance her tuition at the University of Perugia, but the glamourous lifestyle tempted her away from her law studies. She speaks Italian, French, and English fluently, Spanish semi-fluently, and has acted in each of these languages, as well as in Aramaic.

And the actress - whose brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, featured alongside Ledger in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain - reveals her co-star and friend’s untimely death has taken its toll on her.
She tells Britain’s Empire magazine, “It’s hard to talk about how it’s (Ledger’s death) affected me personally. It’s been really hard for me.”
“(And) the media has shocked me with the way that they’ve been disrespectful in some ways.”
