Raging Bull's n-de scenes shocker
He may be more ageing bull than Raging Bull these days but, at 67, Robert De Niro shows he’s still got it.
The Godfather actor filmed a racy s-x scene for Manuale d’amore 3 with Italian beauty Monica Bellucci who, at 46, is young enough to be his daughter.
Manuale d’amore 3 isn’t in any way a fine film, despite the presence of Robert De Niro alongside Bellucci. But the actress dials up the oomph to almost caricaturish levels here, and it’s hard not to fall for her charms.
No wonder Robert De Niro has a smile on his face.
After spending the last few days working intensively on his new movie Manual d’amore 3, he was joined in Rome last night by his glamorous co-star Monica Bellucci.
With her black dress highlighting Monica's hourglass figure, the 46-year-old looked deep in conversation with her co-star.
The actors were filming the third installment of one of the most successful series of Italian cinema.
Manual d’amore 3, directed by Giovanni Veronesi, will see De Niro fall in love with the Italian beauty in one of four love stories that appear in the new film.
De Niro plays a divorced American professor living in Rome, who falls deeply in love with an Italian interpreter, played by Bellucci.
The actor, 67, is rumoured to speak Italian in the movie.
Despite the previous films having been very successful in Italy, they had not made waves in the U.S. or UK.
But director Veronesi has said they will make a good series to be launched in the U.S. market too.
The four separate phases of love which Manual d’amore explores are: love at first sight, the crisis, betrayal and the break.
But filming hasn't gone without incident, with police having to step in to calm matters.
According to the Italian press, residents in the capital have complained about the unusually large disruption the film is causing.
