Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci lovingly hold hands at his star-studded Hollywood Walk Of Fame ceremony
As a film enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of cinematic artistry over the decades, I must express my deep admiration for Tim Burton, a visionary whose unique imagination has graced our screens with enchanting worlds and unforgettable characters.
On Tuesday, at Tim Burton’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame induction ceremony, Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci affectionately clutched each other’s hands while seated among the spectators.
In a glamorous gathering graced by many stars, the esteemed 66-year-old filmmaker received a coveted star on the globally recognized walkway.
He listened to talks given by Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, both of whom share a career background with him that dates back to the 1980s.
In a surprising turn of events, I found myself stealing the spotlight, sitting next to Tim, age 66, nearly a year and a half following our initial public appearance together back in February 2023. That’s me, Monica, at 59 years young!
They seemed unable to resist touching each other, sitting closely together in the audience, while they listened attentively to the heartfelt praises for Tim.
Embracing the eerie and unique vibe that Tim’s films are known for, Monica, Tim, and even Winona, donned all-black ensembles, creating a striking trio that perfectly matched the mood of our evening together.
Monica, the former wife of Vincent Cassel and renowned Italian actress, chose an off-the-shoulder top paired with a cowl neckline and stylish trousers of the same color for her outfit.
Enhancing her radiant skin tone with cosmetics, she let her hair fall loose with a few bangs cascading over her dark sunglasses.
In her touching speech, Winona praised Tim: “It’s almost like bestowing this star upon him is similar to awarding a medal to Mount Everest for being the highest peak.”
At the tender age of 17, she made her debut as a shining star in Tim’s 1988 film “Beetlejuice”. Today, you can catch her reprising her role in the latest sequel titled “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”.
“Tim’s comprehension of the human heart is so captivating and distinct. He truly feels the pain of those who are misperceived, the odd ones, and the eccentrics,” she remarked.
Instead of merely comprehending them, he embraces and elevates them. Regardless if they’re misunderstood, unconventional, fear-inducing or amusing, he infuses them with complexity, wit, and a unique sense of chivalry. His heroes are none other than the very outcasts that he cherishes.
‘Working with Tim feels akin to exploring his mind and emotions. It’s like an extraordinary cathedral and one of my most valued and sanctified spots to be in. I always appreciate the moments I’ve had there.’
Addressing Tim next to her, she expressed gratitude by saying, “Your friendship has been an incredibly valuable present for me. When we first met, I was quite an unusual child.”
Translation: Now, it seems like you’ve grown into quite an unusual character as an adult! Tim chimed in with a chuckle, eliciting a laugh from Winona when she acknowledged, “Absolutely!” and continued with her dialogue.
In simpler terms, your affirmation supported my individuality. You reinforced my courage to stand out from the crowd, defy norms. Your openness to creativity displayed an exceptional example of artistic unity. Essentially, you validated being unconventional, making it something to embrace and even a bit exciting.
She expressed: ‘You’ve been a beacon of representation for the unusual ones among us, making us all feel understood and appreciated. Bravo! My admiration for you runs deep.’
In my line of work, I’ve had the pleasure of directing some remarkable talents. One such individual is Michael, who starred in two of my productions, Beetlejuice and its sequel, as well as the iconic superhero films Batman and Batman Returns. During one of our recent encounters, he graciously tipped his hat to me, a gesture that I appreciate deeply.
During his talk, Michael recounted the tale of how Tim staunchly supported his choice to cast him as Batman, despite the criticism that followed.
Michael first gained recognition as a comedic actor, a title further cemented by his role in the classic film “Beetlejuice.”
Consequently, choosing him for the role of Batman drew raised eyebrows within the entertainment industry, but Tim was unyielding in his decision not to reevaluate the casting choice.
Michael commended Tim for his “readiness to embrace new thoughts and artistic flair,” as well as his “refreshing absence of affectation” that he consistently shows in his films throughout the years.
Later, he reflected on the commotion that arose when Tim selected Michael to play Batman following his humorous portrayal of the main character in Beetlejuice.
Michael said, “It seemed like an invasion, absolutely incredible. The media went wild. Yet, he stood by my side. And the bravery it demonstrated in making that choice will forever hold a significant place in my heart.”
As I found myself nestled among the crowd at the event, I sat sandwiched between Monica and my longtime companion, Marni Turner, who turned 51 this year. For over a decade, our paths have intertwined in a beautiful dance.
In simpler terms, Monica had the pleasure of sharing a special moment with Danny DeVito during the audience segment, as they are both cast members in the latest film version of “Beetlejuice” called “Tim’s Beetlejuice.”
In his speech, Tim gushed that getting a star was ‘very special to me,’ remembering that ‘as a child I used to come down here from Burbank on the bus, no adults.’
Using a biting sense of humor typical of him, he remarked, “Back then, I was young enough to believe these were real tombstones when I first arrived.”
