Monica Bellucci has proven with her craft that she can excel in controversial roles with much fearlessness. She has gained international prominence with her Malèna Scordia role in the 2000 Italian romantic drama Malèna. Her acting work was highlighted in the early 2000s especially after she starred in Gaspar Noe’s controversial violent s-x drama, Irréversible.
Given that she was quite bold with her performance in the 2002 film, many might be surprised to know the reason why she joined Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.
Monica Bellucci portrayed the role of Mary Magdalene in The Passion of The Christ, one of the most significant characters in the story. The lady she played was one of Jesus’ followers who also witnessed his crucifixion and resurrection.
While she was the film director’s first choice, it would be quite surprising for many that she was the one who fought really hard to get her hands on the role.
