The Undoing’s Matilda De Angelis takes her pet pooch for a walk during break from Robbing Mussolini

She’s earned herself legions of fans over the past few months for her role as Elena Alves in hit HBO miniseries The Undoing.

And Matilda De Angelis was spotted enjoying some downtime on Sunday, as she took her pet pooch for a walk during a break from filming her upcoming movie Robbing Mussolini.

The Italian actress, 25, looked effortlessly stylish in a clean fleece jacket, which she teamed with loose-fitting blue bottoms and a pair of box fresh white trainers.

Covering her chestnut brown locks with a black hat, the screen star concealed her face with a patterned mask, which she later removed as she took a phonecall.

In the midst of her stroll, the brunette beauty sat on the grass as she continued to chat on her phone, letting her adorable dog roam free for a few minutes. 

Just weeks after wrapping Across The River And Into The Trees, Matilda De Angelis was seen embarking on filming Robbing Mussolini earlier this month. 

Little has been revealed about her upcoming film Robbing Mussolini, but its likely to focus on the ruthless Italian dictator of the same name, who ruled over the country from 1922 to 1943.

Forming the Fascist party in 1919, the journalist used his organised of ex-war veterans to – known as Black Shirts – to terrorise his political opponents, and after joining the coalition government in 1921, gradually took power as dictator.

Eventually, Mussolini was overthrown by Allied troops at the height of the Second World War, and after fleeing north, was captured by Partisans and shot in 1945.

Despite being buried in an unmarked grave in 1946, Mussolini’s body was famously stolen by Fascists supporters before being recovered, missing a leg, four months later. 

It’s been an exciting few months for Matilda after she soared to fame at the end of last year due to her role as Elena Alves in HBO drama The Undoing, which also starred Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant. 

More recently, the Italian actress was filming Across The River And Into The Trees alongside Liev Schreiber in Venice.

In the film, Matilda plays an 18-year-old Italian contessa called Renata. Liev’s character Colonel Richard Cantwell falls in love with her. 

Set in post WW2 Venice, US Army Col. Cantwell, haunted by the war, is a hero who faces news of his illness with stoic disregard.

Determined to spend a weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers a military driver to facilitate a visit to some of his old haunts in Venice.  

As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a remarkable young woman begins to rekindle in him the hope of renewal.

Based on the last full-length novel by Ernest Hemingway, the movie captures a fleeting moment of immortality where time stands still.

Matilda has previously revealed that her first ever role was the lead in an Italian film after an open casting call and she got the part as the director was looking for a ‘non-professional actress who had a specific accent from a specific region in Italy’. 

The star said that she has never studied acting and has instead learnt on the job, which can be both ‘great’ and ‘frightening’.
