Why Is She Famous?
As well as being devastatingly attractive and seriously talented, Asia has to be among the most eccentric actors we've ever encountered. Both on and off the set, this Italian beauty is completely uninhibited and carefree -- a couple of character traits that are bound to surface in her performance in the action thriller xXx.
Asia Argento was born in Rome, Italy, on September 20, 1975, to renowned Italian horror film director Dario Argento (the son of producer Salvatore Argento) and his companion, actress Daria Nicolodi.
It was fitting that Asia, who would go on to lead a life that could only be described as unique, would find herself immediately positioned counter to the status quo: The city's registry office refused to acknowledge "Asia" as an appropriate name, and instead officially inscribed her as Aria Argento.
Nevertheless, Asia retained the name that her parents had chosen for her, and embarked on a lifestyle of eccentricity and privilege that comes with growing up in the entertainment industry. For three days following her birth, her parents projected Gone with the Wind on the living room wall.
