Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci, “dark” couple of the summer. Between sweet effusions and a lot of alchemy

Summer has just reached a total black shade thanks to the presence of Tim Burton in Italy to present the second season of Wednesdayfrom August 6 on Netflix. For the occasion, he made himself accompanied to the Giffoni Film Festival by his partner Monica Bellucci, who showed off a “morticia style” with a black dress with a train.

The two – who have known each other for almost 20 years but have been a couple since 2023 and have arrived by helicopter on the Amalfi Coast – have always kept their hands intertwined, detaching them just to embrace each other. The 66 -year -old director walked the carpet of the event to accompany her in the room and then clinging to her a kiss on the lips taking her face in the palms, in a very tender gesture. And only then did he return back to indulge in photos and autographs.

A little intimidated and visibly moved in front of the crowd and the deployment of cameras and photographers, he said: «I am lucky to have grown before the partnerL, otherwise as a boy I wouldn’t have survived and I wouldn’t have juggled among the internet meanders. I am saddled to me just read the comments on me today, they are terrible and I would like to kill myself for the sorrow ».

Sensitive and passionate, she wants to clarify that his works are not all dark and Gothic but, like life “they have lights and shadows, sadness and joy. One in particular has marked me, even if it is based on a book and it is not my original idea, Big fish. It came to me shortly after my father’s death and it was a very emotional project, which concerns the mysterious nature and strange relationships we have with our parents, I could not have done it without that sense of loss ».
