Monica Bellucci breaks silence on ‘wonderful’ romance with Tim Burton


The Italian actress and the American film director surprised fans when it was revealed last year that they had grown close. Now Monica can’t hide her delight at being involved with the Hollywood star.
Monica Bellucci has peeled back the covers of her romance with film director Tim Burton – describing him as ‘wonderful’ and ‘spectacular’ in a gushing admission of love.

The 58-year-old Italian actress has been linked to the 64-year-old American director for more than a year and has now made rare comment about their romance. The pair went public with their love at the Lumiere Film Festival in Lyon in October 2022 amid reports they had already been dating for four months.
The pair originally met way back in 2006 on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival – but they were both in relationships at the time. Now that the pair are together, Monica has nothing but good things to say about Tim.

Opening up to Harper’s Bazaar Espana, Monica gushed over the blossoming romance. She told the glossy fashion magazine: “I found in Tim [Burton] a wonderful spirit. I met a spectacular soul.”
She also opened up on her struggle to cope with fame – having been in the spotlight since the dawn of the 1990s. She declared: “Fame is a double-edged sword, it causes a lot of curiosity and can also provoke conflicting feelings. When I am not working, I like to lead a normal life – I go shopping, I take my daughters to school.”

It’s not the first time Monica has opened up about her feeling for Tim. She previously told Elle France: “What I can say… I’m glad I met the man, first of all. It’s one of those encounters that rarely happens in life… I know the man, I love him, and now I’m going to meet the director, another adventure begins.”
She went on to praise his directing skills – having been ordered around on set of Beetlejuice 2 by the man himself. She said: “I love Tim. And I have great respect for Tim Burton. I love this dream world where the monsters are kind, like we can turn our darker aspects into something bright, forgiving. Tim Burton’s films talk about that a lot.”

Monica was previously married to French film star Vincent Cassel, 56, with whom she shares two daughters; Deva, born in September 2004, and Léonie, born in May 2010. They met on the set of The Apartment in 1995 and married in August 1999.
But love was not to last, and the pair split in 2013 and divorced – but have remained close. Meanwhile, Tim famously was in a relationship with British actress Helena Bonham Carter between 2001 and 2014.
The pair never married, famously lived in adjoining homes and share a son and daughter together.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
