Nepo baby model lands huge Netflix show but can you tell who her very famous parents are?
THIS nepobaby model is following in her famous parents footsteps after landing a huge Netflix show.
This 20-year-old is an Italian-French model and actress and has a very glamorous mum.
She has been the face and brand ambassador for Cartier and Dior and appeared in numerous Dolce & Gabbana fragrance ads, as well as walking their women’s Alta Moda fashion shows in 2021 and 2022.
Her latest role will be in the upcoming Netflix adaption of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s novel The Leopard.
It looks like acting runs in the family, with her mum being a European acting icon and her dad appearing in a string of hit films.
But have you guessed who her parents are yet?
Well it’s none other than Deva Cassel.
And Deva’s parents are Italian actress Monica Bellucci, 60, and her French actor Vincent Cassel, 58.
Monica is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful actresses in the world.
Starting out as a model when she was an early teenager, the Italian beauty moved into moving pictures by the 1990s and has gone on to star in mega block-busters and film franchises.
For her role in the 2015 Bond film Spectre, the make-up and lighting teams had to work to make Monica look older as they feared she could pass for someone in their 30s or 40s as she played the grieving widow of a mafia boss.
“They wanted to etch this sadness, desperation, loneliness into [my] face,” she told the Daily Mail as the film was released.
Monica Bellucci made her acting debut in the 1990 Italian TV movie Vita coi Figli playing a character named Elda.
She has gone on to star in a wide range of films including Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (in 1992), Gilles Mimouni’s iconic French film The Apartment (in 1996), and the live-action 2002 film Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra where she held the female lead.
She also played Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson’s 2004 religious epic The Passion of the Christ, starred alongside Matt Damon and Heath Ledger in Terry Gilliam’s 2005 The Brothers Grimm as The Mirror Queen, and appeared in the 2007 action film Shoot ‘Em Up alongside Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti.
Monica announced she and husband French actor Vincent Cassel had separated in August 2013 after 14 years of marriage.
The pair met in 1996 on the set of Gilles Mimouni’s film l’Appartement, tied the knot in 1999 and welcomed daughters Deva and Léonie in 2004 and 2010 respectively.
Monica had previously been married to Italian photographer Claudio Basso between 1990 and 1994.
While Deva’s dad Vincent is an actor, producer, and director, who has appeared in Westworld and other films.
He often played the roles of a tough guy in films such as La Haine (1995), Mesrine (2008), and Irréversible.
Vincent has four children, including Deva and Leonie with Monica, and Amazonie with new wife Tina Kunakey, 27, who he married in 2018.
Monica also found love again with director Tim Burton and have been dating since 2022.
Supportive parents
Deva previously said that her parents give her the freedom when it comes to her career.
Speaking about whether she’d quit acting or modelling, Deva said: “I’m too attached to fashion to completely leave the business or to have it take second place. I plan on doing both for the foreseeable future.’
“My parents leave me to make up my own mind. The most frequent advice is, “Sure, go for it, but always keep your head on your shoulders” and “Enjoy what you do”.’
She added: “I think it could be a lot of fun to find myself on the same set as my parents, shooting a movie or a series together.’
“We sometimes discuss the idea. I’m open to it, but not just yet, since I feel that I still have a lot of road to travel first.”
Last November, Deva praised her parents for encouraging and supporting her in a highly competitive industry.
She told the magazine: ‘They taught me to always look forward, to always protect myself, to always be kind, and always keep wonder in mind.’
“There’s much more, but the point is that they’ve taught me how to handle unexpected situations and live by my own rules, while always respecting people and the environment I’m in.’
“I remember browsing through my mom’s huge fashion books that she kept in the house for as long as I can remember.’
“Everything was so looked after and beautiful. I knew I wanted to work in that industry at some point in my life, but I definitely didn’t expect to love it this much and make a living out of it.’
She went on to say: “I really did not want to be an actor for most of my childhood. It was something that everyone kept asking me as a kid and it really pushed me away from that career path.
“However, with time, I started getting more and more interested in the cinematic industry, the people, and the experiences it could offer.”
Deva has worked hard on being recognised for her own talent.
