Italian actress Monica Bellucci has no time for Method acting, insisting it is much better to "fake" it on screen. The 41-year-old star, who plays a prostitute in new movie "How Much Do You Love Me?," claims creating the magic from scratch is preferable to living the part for real.

She says, "It's good to create something fake. In real life it would be too much work. I'm too lazy for that."
