The Italian actress, 58, stood beside Lumiere Award winner Tim Burton on Saturday afternoon before they headed in to watch the re-production of ‘Silent Documentary Film’, directed in 1895 by late French filmmaker Louis Lumiere.

The filmstar sgared her thoughts about getting older in an interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine, saying she prefers wine, pasta, and the occasional Pilates class to grueling workouts and restrictive diets.
‘I am not obsessed. I’ve always been a curvy woman, never so skinny, that’s my nature. And I want to get old in a peaceful way,’ she said.
‘When you are 50 or 60 you don’t have the same needs as when you are 20. You change, like when your baby comes into the room, you see that the first thing is her. We come in second. This gives us another perspective.’
