It seems hard to believe, but Monica Bellucci – who has spent four decades in the limelight as a model and actress – says she suffers from stage fright. Now appearing on stage in Paris, incarnating opera singer Maria Callas, the Italian diva confesses experiencing pure "terror".

"It is not that I was afraid of theatre, I am still afraid of theatre. I tremble," said the 55-year-old.
