Actors Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton announce they've parted ways in their relationship.
Tim Burton, the renowned director known for his distinctive style, and Monica Bellucci, the Italian actress with a captivating presence, have announced their separation. The news came on Friday, without specifying a reason for the split.
Before their separation, the duo had embarked on a creative journey together. Their collaboration began in October 2022, when they met at the Lumière festival in Lyon, France. This meeting marked the beginning of a new chapter in their careers, as they worked together on the film 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' a horror comedy sequel to Burton's 1988 film.
In 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' Bellucci played Delores, a malevolent creature seeking revenge on her ex-husband. The film premiered in 2024 at the Venice Film Festival and was a significant success, grossing nearly $300 million in North America.
Burton's involvement with the film extended beyond directing, as he also served as a producer. This wasn't the only project they collaborated on. Burton was also a producer and director of some episodes of 'Wednesday,' a series inspired by the universe of the Addams family.
'Wednesday' has been a significant success for Netflix. It is the biggest English-language series success so far on the platform and the second most viewed after the first season of 'Squid Game.' Burton presented the second season of the series at the Giffoni film festival in July, where he was last seen with Bellucci.
Burton's relationship with Bellucci is not directly related to the separation, but it's worth mentioning that he was previously in a long-term relationship with Helena Bonham Carter. They had two children together, but the relationship ended in 2014. Bonham Carter was also involved with the 'Wednesday' series, serving as a producer.
Monica Bellucci was married to French actor Vincent Cassel for 14 years and has two daughters with him. Before her relationship with Burton, she was also seen at the Giffoni film festival in July, where she had attended with Cassel.
While the reasons for Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci's separation are not yet clear, their collaboration has left a lasting impact on the world of entertainment. Their work together, particularly in 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' and 'Wednesday,' will continue to be celebrated for years to come.
