Sexy and mature: Monica Bellucci told Loaded Magazine about playing a love interest in the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre
Although she first auditioned to play a Bond girl back in 1997 - for the role that went to Teri Hatcher in Tomorrow Never Dies - Monica's franchise debut will be as Lucia Sciarra in 2015's Spectre.
'The only thing I can say is that my name is Lucia and, sorry, that's it I'm afraid,' the actress explained when asked to reveal her character's role.
Monica won't be the only Bond girl in the movie: Naomie Harris and Loaded cover model Lea Seydoux also co-star opposite Daniel's Bond and Christoph Waltz's villainous Blofield.

She wouldn't give away details on the Spectre plot, but Monica noted that her maturity was an asset to her sexiness.
'Instead of playing a James Bond girl, because of my maturity I play a James Bond woman,' she said.
While Monica admitted that her favourite James Bond of all time was Sean Connery, she was full of enthusiasm for the 47-year-old Daniel.

'James Bond is the ideal man for Italians,' said Monica.
'He's courageous, strong, mysterious, sexy and the perfect English gentleman. So I think Daniel Craig is perfect for that.'
Originally a model - a career Monica is has left behind ('I felt like a cow that is full of milk and no one will take it') - the actress received widespread notice with Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992.
