Monica Bellucci celebrates her birthday on September 30th. She turned 57 this year. We don’t know how the star herself relates to her age, but fans are having a hard time going through new times in the life of the actress.
What is 57 years old? Within the framework of modern show business, this is the heyday of a new era of beauty. Mature, wise, and accomplished, without fear demonstrating to the world both her weaknesses and at the same time her strength.
A couple of decades ago, many famous women over 50 often abruptly disappeared from the public eye. But today, another serious date, on the contrary, has become an occasion to remind everyone about yourself. And, perhaps, even take it and great surprise the fans, for example, by getting a gentleman half his age and deciding on a photoshoot in underwear. Or just give up makeup, not being afraid that someone will see your deep wrinkles and imperfect skin condition.
All this is very much in the style of 57-year-old Monica Bellucci. But while the world praises another photo of Elizabeth Hurley in a bikini or envies Madonna’s hot relationship with a young dancer, Monica gets only criticism. And, no matter how surprising it may sound, a complete disappointment of faithful admirers.
Monica Bellucci has always been the main decoration of films. She captivated the audience with her perfect beauty. Another Bond series, a low-budget independent film, or even a continuation of the legendary Twin Peaks. Only the episodic appearance of an Italian woman in the frame is enough to give the tapes a special aesthetic!
However, time moves inexorably forward. Forever young Monica will remain only on the screen. In life, it continues to bloom with a new color – so to speak, the color of maturity. That’s just much more often now the press discusses not the seductive photoshoots of the actress for gloss, but honest photos without retouching. With wrinkles, puffiness, and the rest of the spectrum of age-related manifestations.
It seems that the star itself is not at all obsessed with thoughts of eternal youth. We by no means assure that Monica is an ardent opponent of Botox and plastic surgery. But there are no traces of active anti-age disguise on her face either. Here there are “crow’s feet” near the eyes, a slight puffiness, and age-related bands on the neck. But in general, the actress is still beautiful. It’s just that we all need to finally accept her quite respectable age and the features associated with it.
But it was not there! If earlier Bellucci was swallowed up by avalanches of admiration, now the public’s opinion is polarized. Fans are sure: Monica is not the same. “Not so pretty anymore”, “Already old and plump” and “Does not look very good”. Like, at 57 years old, ordinary women don’t want to be the same as Bellucci.
Are they not flattering themselves about this? Or rather, are they not afraid that they will not be able to accept the passage of time as calmly as Bellucci did? The star calmly went into a creative “retirement” and almost quit filming. Nevertheless, Monica continues to be the main star of the red carpet and gloss. And she still participates in fashion shows, at the same time helping to build the career of her eldest daughter Virgo, who has recently been the face of Dolce & Gabbana.
Monica seems to show a healthy example of accepting the aesthetics of age with her whole appearance. A minimum of makeup, restrained hairstyles, and sometimes the rejection of underwear – Bellucci wants and can be desirable at her 57. And the actress is not going to pretend that no changes have occurred over the past decades and films with her. It’s time for the haters to think hard about this.
On the one hand, the claims of the crowd to Bellucci are very understandable. Ordinary women spend insane energy on their daily beauty routine. And most of all – during trips to surgeons and cosmetologists. For them, looking young is an achievement in life. And here a star brunette appears on the horizon, who didn’t give a damn about the fact that old age needs to be denied and driven away from herself, because she is already so beautiful! And yes, mutual understanding of the parties, in this case, can hardly be achieved.
But on the other hand, why is everyone so annoyed by the fact that Monica is aging? How, in fact, and absolutely each of us? One gets the feeling that the movie’s beauties for the audience are the main landmark of the passage of time. If they suddenly change, we also begin to think anxiously about the passage of years. And, of course, that we ourselves do not become fresher with age. Wrinkles appear on the face, like Monica, and the body, no matter how you eat, can become fuller. Or, on the contrary, dry …
So, maybe it’s time to stop measuring everything, looking back at Bellucci? In extreme cases, just remember her the way you liked her the most. And it’s better to finally find not only the minuses in the age-related beauty of the Italian. And try to overestimate them. Well, at least within the framework of love and acceptance of oneself 🙂
