The actress Lucrezia Lante della Rovere: «Women monsterified by plastic surgery: I would like to become a beautiful old woman»

The actress Lucrezia Lante della Rovere is 57 years old and has no problem admitting it: «And I don’t understand those who argue with the fact that, under the photos of the actresses, the date of birth is always specified. What’s wrong with that? It’s better to say how many you have and then, perhaps, hear back that you wear them well. I’m used to telling things like they are, it’s my character.” In an interview with The print the mother of twins and film, theater and TV actress talks about her debut on the big screen with Mario Monicelli in Let’s Hope It’s a Girl: «I was 19 years old, I was very skinny and very shy, at home they called me “scrocchiazeppi”, a little . Monicelli already had an exact vision of what men would become and how women were becoming aware of their strength.”

The debut

According to the actress «men came out of that film in pieces, Monicelli had understood everything, a genius. I remember Merli’s joke, he stretched his hands over my nipples and asked me “do you tip them every morning?”. She was very funny, it was a way to ridicule the character.” She then explains what type of mother she is: «I had twins at 21, I think I messed up a lot, it was inevitable, there are no mothers who don’t make mistakes. I also apologized to my daughters, I told them that perhaps I wasn’t the mother they would have liked to have, but the truth is that this is who I am and it’s up to them to keep me. Now I look at them with heart-shaped eyes, they have become mothers too, they make me feel immensely tender. Do you know that I have five grandchildren?”.

Aging

He is in favor of euthanasia: «It pains me to know that in this country you are not free to die as you want. I believe a lot in the battles of the radicals, in the words that my mother said before she died, it is not right that only those who have money can decide on their own demise. It should be a right for everyone.” Finally, she talks about her ideas on female aesthetics: «It certainly doesn’t give me pleasure to look at myself in the mirror and see my skin falling down, or to think about how much prettier I was when I was younger. Every now and then I put my hands on my face and think “well, what if I raised it a little higher here? ” Then I start laughing and do nothing. When I see women monsterized by plastic surgery I think that they look the same as they age and so it’s better to try to become a beautiful old woman.”
