Monica Bellucci's ex-husband Vincent Cassel and her new boyfriend Tim Burton congratulated her on her 60th birthday

Today, Italian actress Monica Bellucci turned 60. The star of the new "Beetlejuice" was congratulated by her ex-husband Vincent Cassel and current lover, 66-year-old director Tim Burton.

Cassel shared archive photos with Monica and their daughters Deva and Leonie on Instagram*. The French actor, who is about to become a father for the fourth time, wrote under the pictures "Family" and "Happy birthday, Monica."

Italian Vogue presented the cover of the new issue and a photo shoot with Monica, which was shot in honor of her anniversary by her beloved, cult horror director Tim Burton. In the pictures, the actress poses in the park "Sacred Forest" in Bomarzo in the image of the "queen of the night", and the signature on the cover "Happy birthday, Monica. With love, Tim" is written by the director's hand.

Burton recreated the aesthetics of horror films of the last century, inspired by the works of director Mario Bava. The outfits for Bellucci, based on sketches by her lover, were created by the famous costume designer Colleen Atwood, who has been working with Burton for many years. In an interview with the publication, Tim admitted that he has been drawing Monica since he met her.

"I immediately felt a creative connection with Monica. Maybe because, like me, she wants to experiment with new, different things, she has a huge passion for everything that connects art with psychology, with feelings. So even in these photographs, horror images become something emotional, which she manages to interpret beautifully," said Tim Burton.

Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci's romance became known in early 2023, when a joint photo taken by paparazzi graced the cover of the French edition of Paris Match. A year later, the couple appeared together for the first time at the Rome Film Festival. Previously, the actress was married to Vincent Cassel, and Tim Burton was married to Helena Bonham Carter.
