At 50, Monica Bellucci becomes the oldest actress to play opposite James Bond in the upcoming Spectre. Despite Daniel Craig being 47, Bellucci was considered “too old” to play a Bond girl. Bellucci would now like for you to fuck yourself with your patriarchal dick.
Hi Monica! You’re about to become the oldest James Bond love interest in history (1). Why do you think your casting struck such a nerve?
Because the world is a man’s world. Men have the power in everything: journalism, acting, direction; in banks, finances, schools. All the laws are made by men. Men think that women, when they’re not able to procreate any more, become old. That is not true – they are still amazing! That’s why I think that Sam Mendes [director of the new James Bond film, Spectre], in choosing me, an adult woman, created a big revolution.
I don’t know Hollywood very well. I’ve never lived in Los Angeles or New York. But what I can see in Paris, where I live, is that actresses like Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, Charlotte Rampling, still get the chance to play strong, sexy roles even though they’re not 20.
Some people take offence at the term Bond girl. Do you?
I can’t say I’m a Bond girl because I’m too mature to be a Bond girl. I say Bond lady; Bond woman. But I’m proud to be a Bond lady, because actually, Bond is the most amazing man. You know why?
Why?
Because he doesn’t exist.
I think this might be the first mic drop aliens could hear from space.
