Monica Anna Maria Bellucci ( born 30 September 1964) is an Italian actress and model. She began her career as a fashion model, modelling for Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier, and Dior, before transitioning to Italian films and later American and French films.

Bellucci made her film debut in Francesco Laudadio's Italian comedy La Riffa (1991). The following year she played a bride of Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's gothic horror romance film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). For her leading role in The Apartment (1996), Bellucci received a nomination at the 1997 César Award for Most Promising Actress. She played Malèna Scordia in the Giuseppe Tornatore's acclaimed Italian romantic drama Malèna (2000), nominated to the Academy Awards and Golden Globes. Bellucci starred in one of the highest-grossing French language films in the United States, Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001). She starred in Gaspar Noé's controversial arthouse thriller film Irréversible (2002), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Bellucci portrayed Persephone in the 2003 science-fiction films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. In 2004, she portrayed Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson's biblical drama The Passion of the Christ (2004). At the age of 50, by appearing in the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, Bellucci became the oldest Bond girl in the history of the franchise. She has since acted in films such as The Whistleblower (2010), The Wonders (2014), On the Milky Road (2016), The Best Years of a Life (2019), The Man Who Sold His Skin (2020), and Memory (2022).

Bellucci was born in Citta di Castello, Umbria, Italy, daughter of Maria Gustinelli, a painter, and Luigi Bellucci, who owned a transport company. At 18, she started studying law at the University of Perugia. As a side job, she had modelling work at the Liceo Classico from the age of 16. Two years later, however, she quit her studies and moved to Milan, where she signed a contract with the modelling agency Elite. During this time, she also started acting courses. Bellucci was best known in Italy and France in the 1990s. Her role in the film l'Appartement brought her fame across Europe. From 2000, Bellucci also appeared in US films. Bellucci was married to actor Vincent Cassel from 1999 to 2013. They had two daughters together.
