- In this Screen Tests interview, French actress Lea Seydoux talks about learning English at summer camp, her upcoming film Blue Is The Warmest Color, the challenge of love scenes, how sex is the universal language, and her crush on Marlon Brando in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' but NOT 'Last Tango in Paris'.
At the Cannes Film Festival, Steven Spielberg, the head of the jury, phoned Léa Seydoux, one of the stars of Blue Is the Warmest Color, and told her to attend the awards ceremony.
At 28, Seydoux is one of the most versatile young actresses in her native France. She has played a loyal courtier to Marie Antoinette in last year’s Farewell, My Queen, a reckless young mother in Sister, and the object of desire in the upcoming Beauty and the Beast, opposite Vincent Cassel.
Spielberg did not tell the actress what category she had won, but Seydoux assumed that she and her co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos would receive the best actress prize. “Instead, we won the Palme d’Or!” Seydoux told me in June.
Blue Is the Warmest Color had ignited her career in America. The film, based on a graphic novel by Julie Maroh, tells the story of a young girl (Exarchopoulos) who falls in love with a punky blue-haired artist, played by Seydoux, has been divisive in more ways than one. The onscreen sexual encounters are very long, intense, and more in keeping with a male heterosexual perspective than a homosexual point of view. Maroh, who is openly gay, has decried them as “uninformed, unconvincing, and pornographic.”
Taking on Blue Is the Warmest Color was a typically bold move for Seydoux, who was born into Gallic cinema royalty. Her grandfather Jérôme Seydoux is the CEO of Pathé, the French TV and movie giant; her great-uncle Nicolas Seydoux is the president of Gaumont, one of France’s largest film companies. Léa, who has been in more than 20 films and on the cover of nearly every French magazine, recently became the face of Prada’s Candy fragrance.
In the United States, if she is known at all, it is for a small part in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, or as the foreign killer out to assassinate Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol in 2011. But her profile is about to change dramatically-sex has a way of drawing a crowd.
In that film, I noticed that you were at ease with your body. Still, does it make you uncomfortable to do nude scenes? Or sex scenes?
I like the difficulty of nudity sometimes. In love scenes, there is usually no dialogue-it’s almost like choreography. And sex is a universal language; everyone understands sex.
You recently said that the sex scenes in Blue Is the Warmest Color were “simulated” but that the “protection” was “small” and that it didn’t really alter the intimacy of the scenes. What did you mean?
We had fake p*ssies. The scenes are very sexual, but you don’t see our intimate parts. You do see a lot [she laughs], but only the other actress’s pussy shows, and it’s only for a moment.
Even so, the scenes are quite graphic.
Abdellatif Kechiche, the director, wanted them to be very sexual. When we met to discuss the movie, he asked me to spend one year with him. I had to tell him everything about my life, and we shot seven days a week for six months. One scene could last three days-he doesn’t want you to “act”: He’s looking for real feelings.
Are you a fan of American films? Do you have a cinematic crush?
Johnny Depp! In Cry-Baby, directed by John Waters. And Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire.
Not Brando in Last Tango in Paris?
No! No butter in the ass-it’s too much!

I love her stare - like half trying to make eye contact, half trying to get the hell out of there.
Very well said! I like!
well i think it’s also because of her body language
tina amandla are you shy?
😂😂😂
she is not only unbelievably beautiful but she also has such charm. she's amazing.
yeah her face has some gravitas you can't help but to be intrigued by her.
Yes, she's very charming and a natural beauty. Her smile goes straight through my heart. I feel instantly in love. How I wish I could wake up seeing her smile every morning. Or even once would be a true bliss!
She's incredible. Nothing fake about her at all. She and Marion Cotillard are my favorite foreign actresses.
Hannah Lin foreign ?
Yes she's natural beauty with plenty charisma. That beauty coming from inside, shining out.
Golshifteh farahani
you mean non american Hollywood actress...
@@meliams5661 yup
really love the way she looks to the camera, very alluring
Yes, very alluring. And stunning.
I think that's just how she looks. He has very seductive almond shaped eyes.
She has the most hypnotic voice. I could listen to her all day.
im a straight girl but like damn i have a crush on her
same....lol
***** You can admire anyone you wants beauty without being sexually attracted to them...not everything in the world is so black and white. When your an adult you will understand. Also don't tell me your not a child. I can tell by you user name and picture. Only children find that whole trolling trend funny.
-cheers =)
***** Maybe men are a bit more worried about being judged in that realm then. Women on the other hand are not afraid to knowledge all beauty I suppose. People are just so fixated with labeling sexual orientation, debating it, or concerning themselves too much with who would sleep with who. Title/label anyone as you please sir. I don't lose sleep at night =).
i liked her already from her movies but now i have a huuuge girl crush on her D: ( im a straight girl too xD)
rarifica XD! The Lea Club will grow after the world gets to know her from the new 007 movie..If you watch this interview her English is just french accent...now from being on the Bond set to long her English accent is, British XD.I watched Grand Budapest Hotel the other day and to my delight she popped up in it..I had no idea. Such a beaut.
I have a huge crush on her ! I'm in love with her!!!!
Join the club
Sam SAME
Me too and I'm not even lesbian 😉♥️🙊
She's close to being perfect. Her smirk, style, jokes, innocence at certain things, intelligence and honesty.
"We had like fake pussies" lol She's adorable
She's Fragile but she's not that fragile.
Lolol
I came for this comment
What makes lea special is that you can't compare her to anyone, she's very unique and instantly likeable
She's unique.
Before she delivers packages.
Fragile ;)
Fragile but not that Fragile
She looks better in real life, than in the game. Margaret Qualley exact opposite
@@oneternal647 So I'm not alone who thinks the same thing xDDDD
Eaon Eternal hmm for me lea looks better in the game, same goes for margaret
She look great in death stranding, looks even greater in real life. Hope we get to see more of her in upcoming films and/game projects
Justin Blake she’s gonna be in the next bond movie coming next April
@@Ooth9999 oh NOOOO, not that one 😔
BigAssPunk why? There’s a good chance that movie will be good
It sounds like that director was a creep.
Ikr??? Wtf
Right? Like he was training her to do eveything he asked.
Based
Nope
Sounds like a genius. The French don't have typically American witchburning hangups about female sexuality. As for some of the other commenters here....
“ it’s a universal language.....sex” I’m dead 😂😂😂 but so true
She's adorable.
I love Marlon Brando's performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire" !! Classics
Amen
even the butter?
@@enhanced6892 That was in Last Tango in Paris..But his character in Streetcar was abusive, though admittedly Marlon was very hot in that..
i love Lea Seydoux motion capture as "Fragile"
UPDATE: Okay. I just have to say it. Léa Seydoux is one of the sexiest women on the planet. And her being French CERTAINLY adds to her sexiness.
Her ❤️ girl crush hair crush accent crush she's everything
i love her. she's so beautiful. i love how frank european, and in particular french actors are. it seems like kechiche was a very difficult director to work with though, from what i've heard. she must be glad it's over
The part where she talks about the director reveals a lot about how she feels about her experience with him. Pay attention to the pauses she makes and the words she uses...
"The process of the film is very... very unique. He wanted the sex scenes to be very... sexual. That was his... wish."
She says so much by saying so little.
It's interesting that she mentions Brando, because Adele Exarchopoulos' performance in BITWC actually reminds me of Brando in a streetcar named desire. Lea on the other hand reminds me of James Dean in rebel without a cause.
hey, interesting, which part of the movie BITWC does she remind you of Brando in streetcar named desire?
Desde que la vi en la peli la vida de adel LA sigo Á ambas lea seydoux y adel Exarchopoulos
gosh shes soooo beautiful!!! massive crush on her
'when the actor is so good you fall in love with them' ...lea...
Only reason I watched Spectre, what a babe
+stipV same
i though i'm the only one!!
stipV me too
but she has a fake p
She has papi eyes and wolf eyes at the same time. She is wild and innocent at the same time.
It’s so refreshing to see absolute candor these days. If she were a dude, people would say “She embodies everything that is James Dean ‘Old Hollywood’ “
Because I’m Fragile...but I’m not “that” fragile.
Blows my mind that professional writers came up with that.
They played with the pronunciation of the word Fragile.
Michael Coletti shut up coward
Can we all just forget that line ever existed?
Why the writing in videogames is almost always so atrocious? :/
I'm mesmerized by her sad looks. Tragic romance suits her best.
I love her accent and she is an amazing actress.
french people are just naturally stunning
"Natural"
I like the way their hair is not perfectly groomed and they don't overdo the make up or way they dress. They look effortlessly cool.
I can listen to her talk all day
I have a massive crush on her!
i could be watching her all day just smiling
So sad seeing this now that the abuse of the director has been exposed, I'm sad they had to go thru it, they don't deserve it
She is so candid and easy going in front of the camera.
The way she says potatoes is so sweet and innocent. Puddadoze!
I'm straight, but I have to say .... I fell in love with her :3
I would make love to her even if I was a girl. Maybe especially if I was a girl. I would like to try it for a day. Or in my next life. Then I wanna be beautiful and charming like Lea.
Svein Grimstad hot
She's so candid I love it
What a beautiful young lady,” Blue is the warmest colour “ is an amazing love story but I also love her appearance in “ Midnight in Paris “ so French
The closed captions wrote the director's name as 'ability of quiche' LOL
she's the love of my life.
I love her character in Midnight in Paris.
She has good tastes! Marlon Brando and A Streetcar Named Desire!!!
She’s so, so charming. 💙
you melt my heart by only one look!! very irresitable charm
ahh~ her laugh. Can't get enough of that now...
I could listen to her for ever.
I feel so sorry for her😭
She felt like a prostitute in the set and were hit so many times.
beacuse the director screamed «hit her, hit her!!» and then stared at them having sex for days. People called him paranoid, he replide «better to be that than ....»
They said they suffered (the guilt, kinda way) it was horrible and they never want work with him again.
There was times that they almost gave up, but they thought «it’s just for the film, we can do it. Think about the things after this»
Don’t get me wrong, I looove the movie.
It’s an amazing story with strong woman who I adore.
I think you are the only person that actually touched this subject. She's clearly uncomfortable talking about it
Noticed that when she's talking about the director and the "scene" her mood suddenly changed, she seems to be uncomfortable. I read that news on twitter too, it's devastating.
One of most beautiful actress ALL time
Having to tell someone where I'm going and asking for permission for it does not seem like the most healthy relationship to me - even if it is a professional one.
I loved her in Midnight in Paris :) Can't wait til Blue is the Warmest Color comes to America
She’s like effortlessly beautiful...so fierce yet so fragile....😏💛
Blue is the warmest Colour. Loved that film. I recommend it often...but it’s tough when the world wants to be fed explosions.
'No butter in the ass'... XD
+Shishuraj Karmalkar what was that I didn't get it
It's a reference to "Last Tango in Paris" a Marlon Brando film famous for it's onscreen sex.
Lew Archer 1949 not sex, rape.
