Tim Burton’s passionate quote reveals his true feelings for Monica Bellucci

Monica Bellucci is one of the most beautiful actresses and she is no stranger to compliments. It is quite possible that she did not pay attention to these words of Tim Burton, said 10 years ago, and even then the director almost confessed his love for her.

“I’m crazy about Monica Bellucci. I dream of being stuck in an elevator with her. She’s so beautiful…” Burton told French weekly Gala at the time.
At that time, Bellucci had just broken up with Vincent Cassel, from whom she gave birth to two daughters.

It is noteworthy that Burton himself was not yet free at that time, but, obviously, his personal life was already falling apart – he broke up with the mother of his children, actress Helena Bonham Carter, in 2014.

Since then, no information has been released about the director’s new love interests, but Monica still managed to be in a relationship with artist Nicolas Lefebvre, who was 18 years younger than the actress. But she broke up with him in 2019 and has been single ever since.

For the first time, Tim and Monica saw each other in 2006 at the Cannes Film Festival, but feelings between them only flared up at the Lyon Festival in October 2022. Interestingly, Burton came there to receive the award , given to him by Monica.

If the reports about the romance of two stars are true, then a very beautiful story awaits us – not only love, but also joint creativity, because Burton’s chosen ones had a strong influence on his work. In addition to Helena, his muse was once stripper Lisa Marie, whom Tim met in the 1990s.
