Lea Seydoux

Lea Seydoux is a French actress and model. She was remembered by the audience for her participation in the box office Hollywood films, as well as in the famous French melodramas. After the first appearances on the screen, it became clear to film critics that a new Sophie Marceau had appeared. The actress, by her very presence, filled the frame with languor and sensuality.

The list of films in which Lea played speaks for itself: Girls Above: French Kiss, Secret Lover, Lovely Fig Tree, Lovely Thorn, My Wife's Novel and, of course, the sensational Life of Adele ...

Lea Seydoux was born in Paris on July 1, 1985 to a wealthy and famous family. Her father is an entrepreneur, and her mother is from a dynasty of oil tycoons, a former actress. The uncle and aunt of the future celebrity are the heads of the French film studio Gaumont Film, and her grandfather is the head of the Pathé film company.

Lea Seydoux's parents divorced when the girl was very young. Since then, Lea, who remained in Paris with her father, often came to visit her mother in Senegal. As a child, she saw the opera Carmen, and the impression was so strong that the future star decided to also become an opera singer. But her vocal talent was not that good, and she began attending a private theater studio. Studying here helped a young Frenchwoman to cope with painful shyness and learn the basics of theatrical art.

As a teenager, Lea began to experience panic attacks, the girl was burdened by society, she was afraid of heights and enclosed spaces. To overcome her fears, Seydoux once took a short flight from Paris to Lyon and flew. But the finally painful perception of the world passed with the beginning of an acting career.

At 18, Lea decided that she would be an artist. At first, relatives doubted the choice of the girl, but she managed to insist on her own. Lea went to study for theater courses in Paris and New York.

The creative biography of Seydou began in 2005 after the appearance of a girl in the video of the singer Raphael. And the very next year she made her debut in the youth comedy Girls Above: French Kiss, popular in France and America.

Every year Lea Seydoux appears on screens in new films. In 2007, she played Catherine in the film "Secret Lover" and in the detective film "French Street, 13", but the first tangible success came to the young actress when she played the role of Juni in "The Beautiful Fig Tree." She portrayed a young schoolgirl who became the object of desire of a young teacher.

Lea has created a new character in French cinema, receiving the Chopard Prize for this, as well as a nomination for the national Cesar Film Awards. They talked about Seydoux as the future of French cinema, calling the new Sophie Marceau.

Soon, the young artist's repertoire was replenished with work in the film "Girls and Angels", in which Sami Naseri, the famous performer of the leading role in the blockbuster "Taxi", also appeared. The next picture in which Lea played is the French love drama "Illusion".

In 2009, the actress appeared as Marie in the drama Lourdes. The film was screened at the Venice Film Festival and was awarded an honorary prize. She manages to find her own acting style. Critics note Seydoux's individuality and dissimilarity to any of the already famous actresses.

A girl from a wealthy French family cannot but be a fashionista. Moreover, when Louis Vuitton himself is a friend of the Seydoux family. The girl received the first shoes from the legend of the fashion world at the age of 12.

Despite the “unfashionable” height - 168 cm with a weight of 54 kg - Lea becomes a famous fashion model. She first appeared for the American magazine Apparel. And when her acting career took off, Seydoux appeared on the covers of a number of fashion magazines.

In 2011, the celebrity becomes the face of Prada's new Candy perfume. Soon, the same brand signs a contract with an actress to showcase a line of costume jewelry and fine jewelry.

By the way, Lea knows a lot about the latter: she has a whole collection of expensive jewelry with precious stones from famous world brands. Lea soon became one of the leading models of the agency Silent models.

Success brings the Frenchwoman work in the film "A Beautiful Thorn", shot by Rebecca Zlatowski. For this role, the film actress received another "Cesar". In the same year, critics praised the actress's performance in the tragic film "The Novel of His Wife". But the girl has played the most successful roles since 2011. Her best film at that time was called the drama Sister, which was filmed in a ski resort in Switzerland.

In 2013, Seydoux expected worldwide popularity after filming the provocative film Adele's Life. Here, viewers saw the film actress in the image of the artist Emma with sky-blue hair, and the role of Adele was played by the actress Adele Exarcopoulos. This film is about the unconventional love of two girls. The directors create many episodes and explicit scenes, but this was not at all embarrassing for the relaxed Frenchwoman, but that she had to dye her hair blue.

The work on the film, as conceived by the creators, began with the filming of a scandalous bed scene in which the girls participated. Several screen minutes were filmed for a week for 8 hours a day. This exhausted the actresses, but at the same time a real friendship was established between the performers. Later, Adele even called Seyda her older sister, who always gives wise advice in life. For her work in this film, the actress received another "Cesar" and "Golden Palm".

One of the last iconic works of the actress is called the film "Beauty and the Beast", where her partner was the actor Vincent Cassel. The film's budget impressed even the most ardent skeptics, because many suggested that $ 33 million for such a fantasy melodrama was too much. Nevertheless, viewers appreciated the efforts of the creators, demanding a continuation of the story.

Soon the charming Frenchwoman slowly made her way to the "dream factory". Here, the young actress is seen as a diverse texture, and at first only cameo roles are offered, but at the same time with famous directors. Lea Seydoux appears in an episode of Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino, which surprised viewers. She plays a small role as a saleswoman in the film "Midnight in Paris", which was initially claimed by Carla Bruni, and in 2011 Seydoux played Princess Isabella of Angouleme in "Robin Hood".

Soon in the film "Mission Impossible: Phantom Protocol" Lea Seydoux appears on the screen together with Tom Cruise, but the talented Frenchwoman's main success lies ahead. In the fall of 2014, it became known that Lea is the next girl of Bond's super agent. Another part of the James Bond film, dubbed "007: Spectrum", was filmed in Rome.

Soon, the actress's repertoire was replenished with work in a costume adaptation. Lea starred in the drama based on the work of the French writer Octave Mirbeau "The Maid's Diary". The main character, in search of an ideal place of work, changes several owners. In the last house, the girl falls in love with the groom Joseph (Vincent Lindon), but suspicion of murder falls on him.

In 2016, a new work from Seydoux's filmography was shown. Young French-Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan presented the film It's Just the End of the World, where Lea played the role of Susan. The director received the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival for this work.

The film tells the story of the writer Louis, who, after 12 years of separation from his family, managed to return home to report that he was sick, but eccentric relatives did not try to help him, complicating the recovery process. In the new film, Dolan for the first time worked exclusively with French actors and brought famous representatives of the French cinema to Canada for filming.

The French actress herself in one interview commented on her participation in the new project. According to Seydoux, Dolan was able to show his vision of some of the problems, and also filled the work with intelligence and emotion, creating in reality his own cinematic culture.

Today, the actress continues to take part in the filming of films. Back in 2016, the French media reported that Lea got a role in the film Kursk, directed by Dane Thomas Winterberg. Previously, Winterberg was remembered by the audience for the tapes "Triumph", "Hunt" and "Away from the Madding Crowd."

The new picture is based on real tragic events that took place on August 2, 2000 on the Russian nuclear submarine "Kursk", which was in the Barents Sea. Lea Seydoux presents on the screen the image of Tatiana, the wife of a submarine captain. The premiere date of the film is scheduled for 2019, the first trailer appeared on the Web in September 2018.

Lea also continues to participate in photo shoots. Her last large-scale action was shooting a video for an advertising campaign for Louis Vuitton perfume near the Lone Creek Falls in South Africa. On the Instagram network, users eagerly continue to follow her new images, expecting new impressions from the model.

Lea Seydoux's personal life is closed from prying eyes. The charming Frenchwoman prefers not to talk about her private life. It is only known that Lea loves shopping and expensive boutiques, leads a luxurious lifestyle, buys exquisite things and jewelry, spending everything she earns on.

At one time, the girl did not speak publicly about whether she had a young man, saying only that she most of all appreciates their attractive appearance in men. Such secrecy of the actress became the reason for rumors, and in the media after the release of the film "Adele's Life" they started talking about the girl's unconventional orientation, but still such assumptions turned out to be false.

In 2015, the model Andre Meyer became the actress's boyfriend. It was soon known that Lea was pregnant. Reporters filmed the actress walking along the seashore in a closed swimsuit. Even then, it was clear that Seydoux's figure had changed. Lea later appeared with a rounded tummy at the Toronto International Film Festival, where the film "It's Just the End of the World" was presented. In January 2017, the actress gave birth to a son. The boy was named Georges Meyer.

Already in February 2017, new photos of the 31-year-old actress with a newborn appeared on the Web. Parisian paparazzi spotted the family while shopping at the Bonpoint store.

Fans on social networks again noted the wardrobe of the Frenchwoman. Many recalled her photo shoots for An Other and Crash magazines. Earlier, her fans also appreciated a bright photo shoot for the French magazine Marie Claire.

In 2018, the actress again made a transatlantic flight to work on the Hollywood fantasy melodrama "Zoe". In the film, we were talking about two scientists of the future who are developing a new kind of humanoids, designed to become companions to humans, helping to escape loneliness. But experiments are reaching a dead end. Scotsman Ewan McGregor played in tandem with Lea Seydoux.

Lea has extensive experience on the stage, so in 2018 she was considered as a member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Cate Blanchett became the chairman of the jury. The judges also included Andrei Zvyagintsev, Canadian director Denis Villeneuve, American Kristen Stewart and others.

The favorites of the competition were the works of Kirill Serebrennikov "Leto", Jean-Luc Godard "Image and speech" (Le livre d'image) and Asgar Farhadi "Everybody knows". The winner of the main prize of the evening was the Japanese Hirokazu Koreeda with the film "Shoplifters".

Now the actress regularly participates in social life. In October, Lea attended the Louis Vuitton women's spring collection show in Paris. The evening was attended by other celebrities - Nina Dobrev, Isabelle Huppert, Thandie Newton, Sophie Turner and Alicia Vikander.
