While French actress Léa Seydoux began her career with roles in independent films like Blue Is the Warmest Colour—which won her a Palme d’Or at Cannes—and La Belle Personne, she has since gone on to become an understated Hollywood powerhouse, starring in blockbuster films like Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Midnight in Paris, and Spectre. However, like a modern Catherine Deneuve, Seydoux’s commercial success hasn’t dulled her art-house star quality.
This year, after much delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Seydoux sees the release of five films, among them her reprise of the role —Daniel Craig’s final appearance as James Bond—and a role in Wes Anderson’s highly anticipated alongside an ensemble cast including Timothée Chalamet and Bill Murray.
