Monica Bellucci Reveals Her Feelings Kissing James Bond Star Daniel Craig
Monica Bellucci recently dished about her feeling kissing James Bond star Daniel Craig in "Spectre."
The actress, who is said to be the oldest ever Bond Girl at 51 years old, revealed how Craig was a gentleman.
Steamy and sexy scenes in a James Bond film is already a given, so it's not surprising to hear Bellucci talk about her on-screen chemistry with the lead star Craig. Now Magazine caught up with the Italian-born actress at the film screening of "Spectre" in London where she revealed what it was like kissing the James Bond star on screen.
"The scene where we are kissing ... it was like a tango," she said.
Filming love scenes usually get awkward for some. It specially becomes a problem when both actors don't know how to begin the scene. However, Bellucci revealed that with Craig there was no problem.
"Sometimes it is difficult to get into it, but with him it was so easy," she told Now Magazine, adding that Craig is a real gentleman on-screen and even off-screen.
In the same interview with Now Magazine, Bellucci also described her character in the film. She said she preferred to be known as a "Bond Woman" instead of Bond Girl.
"Lucia is a mature woman, but even though she doesn't have the beauty of youth anymore she has the femininity," Bellucci said.
Fellow "Spectre" cast Naomie Harris also agreed with Bellucci and told The Independent that the actress should be called a "Bond Woman" because of her age.
Craig also only has nice words to say about Belluci during an interview with The Red Bulletin. Talking about James Bond's conquests with women, one journalist asked the actor to expound on Bond "succumbing to the charms of an older woman" (referring to Bellucci's character) in "Spectre." Craig corrected the journalist regarding Bellucci's age.
"I think you mean the charms of a woman his own age," the actor replied, referring to himself who at 47 is only years younger than Bellucci.
"We're talking about Monica Bellucci, for heaven's sake. When someone like that wants to be a Bond girl, you just count yourself lucky!" Craig told the journalist during the interview.
The actor also commented about Bellucci's skills portraying a Bond Girl. Entertainment Online caught up with Craig at the red carpet premiere of "Spectre" in London, where he was asked about Bellucci becoming a Bond Girl at her age. The actor simply described the challenge of the role as a "no brainer" for Bellucci.
