Who better to honor one of them Gen Vfirst questions from rising star Deva Cassel?

Like the magazine itself, Cassel, 19, is just getting started. The daughter of Monica Belucci (59) and Vincent Cassel (57) made her debut this year, and now she returns to modeling for the fourth edition Gen V – previously known as Mini V.

Sitting down with the outlet, the model reflected on the lessons she learned from her parents.

“They taught me to always look forward, to always protect myself, to always be kind and to always have wonder in mind,” said Deva.

Bellucci and Vincent also have a daughter, Léonie, 13.

“There is much more, but the point is that they taught me how to deal with unexpected situations and live according to my own rules, while always respecting the people and the environment in which I find myself,” added Deva.

Deva shared that she “didn’t really want to be an actress” for most of her childhood because she was always interested in the fashion industry – thanks to her mother’s influence.

“I remember flipping through my mom’s huge fashion books that she kept in the house for as long as I can remember,” she said. “Everything was so well-groomed and beautiful. I knew I wanted to work in that industry at some point in my life, but I definitely didn’t expect to love it this much and make a living from it.”

Deva starred on the cover Italian Vogue with Bellucci’s in July 2021.

As the teenager entered the fashion industry, she became interested in an acting career, which she once rejected. Deva acted Nice summer this year, and will star in an upcoming Netflix series Leopard.

Looking to the future, Deva said she dreams of creating her own branded capsule and hopes to travel the world by the time she’s 30.

For now, the 19-year-old has one destination in mind for 2024 – Japan – and hopes to explore the country in the new year. And while she may have famous parents (and a burgeoning career in the spotlight), she also has more familiar teenage goals: spending more time with her family and getting her driver’s license.
