Biography

Lea Seydoux, whose hot photos filled social networks, received the title of sex symbol. At the same time, the girl herself does not consider herself beautiful and often in interviews wonders why fans admire her appearance so much.

Lea was born in Paris in the summer of 1985. The girl's family was initially wealthy and famous. Her father is a successful businessman (oil service company). Therefore, the future actress spent her entire childhood in a wealthy, prestigious area. In total there were 7 children in the family. Lea turned out to be the second oldest.

Both Seydoux's father and mother come from a famous French family. The girl’s father is the grandson of a famous actor, and her mother herself acted in films. By the way, Leia’s other relatives are also involved in the film industry. Among them are the heads of a famous French film studio and even an entire film company.

When the girl was still very young, a serious conflict occurred in the family, and her parents separated. The future actress stayed with her father, but often visited her mother. Léa was constantly in the bohemian atmosphere, and from an early age she became acquainted with French celebrities. For example, Christian Louboutin and Mick Jagger visited the family's house.

This environment greatly influenced the life and views of the future actress.

Despite the bohemian surroundings, the girl received a strict religious upbringing. But she gradually forgot about this as she grew older. Today Lea openly says that she does not consider herself too religious.

Parents paid great attention to the girl's education. For example, she often went to camp in the United States to become fluent in English.

But at the same time, Seydoux does not hide that as a child she often felt lonely and unloved. She missed attention from her constantly working parents. For example, the father of the future actress regularly went on business trips, and her mother did charity work around the world. So, she was often in Africa.

At first Lea dreamed of becoming a singer, but after graduating from school, having fallen madly in love with an actor, she changed her mind. As a result, the girl began to study acting courses with pleasure.

Already in 2006, Seydoux starred in films for the first time. After that, her creative career began to actively develop. At first, the parents doubted that their shy and modest daughter should connect her life with cinema, but later they began to actively support her. Family connections helped the girl at the very beginning of her journey.

Valerie became the founder of a number of charitable organizations, including ASAO (Association of Senegal and West Africa), centers for homeless children in Dakar, and assistance to victims of violence. To support African artists, the actress's mother founded the CSAO boutique, and Lea worked there as a model for the Jokko jewelry line.

Personal life

The beautiful actress and model has never been married. Fans suggest that Lea does not have a happy personal life . The star herself denies this and notes that she simply avoids publicity in such an intimate matter.

Seydoux has been diligently hiding her personal life from prying eyes for several years. Only occasionally do rumors appear about her new love relationships. The actress always reacts aggressively to them. She does not like to answer questions, either about her significant other or about her family members.

Therefore, journalists often do not receive any comments on personal topics from the star. She may even refuse an interview if the interlocutor begins to ask too many personal questions.

According to unofficial data, Lea is having an affair with fashion model Andre Meyer. The actress herself does not say anything about this. But the paparazzi were able to photograph the young people kissing.

Nothing is known about the couple’s plans for the future. But Seydoux never hid that she had long dreamed of children. On social networks, subscribers constantly ask Seydoux to reveal the secret and admit when the wedding will take place. But for now the star continues to remain silent on this topic.

At the same time, at the age of 31, Lea had a son, Georges. For a long time, nothing was known about the birth of the baby in the media. Later, the actress hid the name of the child’s father for some time. But it became known that the boy’s last name was Meyer. This means that the couple’s relationship continues.

Lea Seydoux, whose hot photos greatly embarrass her famous relatives, often receives questions about her non-traditional sexual orientation. They appeared after the release of the film “The Life of Adele”.

Lea was even suspected of having a relationship with her colleague on the set. But in one of the interviews, the girls openly said that they both like the stronger sex. After filming, only friendship remained between them.

Seydoux explained that such questions do not offend her in any way. On the contrary, they even flatter. After all, this means that the actress completely poured into her role and was able to make the audience believe in her image.

Lea Seydoux - personal life

Successful, young and slightly mysterious French actress and model Lea Seydoux is constantly under the close attention of fans, critics and journalists. She owes her choice of profession not only to her genes, but also to the wonderful opera production “Carmen,” which influenced the little girl so much that she decided to become a singer. But Lea did not have good vocal abilities, and, nevertheless, the dream of the stage did not leave her. Despite her shyness, the girl went to a theater studio, where a professional teacher helped her cope with this problem. Having mastered the basics of acting, the young lady finally decided on the choice of her future profession.

The rapid rise in her film career forced many to pay attention to the biography and personal life of Lea Seydoux. Let us remember that the girl first appeared in Raphael’s music video in 2005, and this was her debut. Every year the actress became more and more famous, and more and more films with her participation were released every year.

Personal life of a shy beauty

Like most popular people, the girl prefers to hide her personal life from prying eyes, thereby giving rise to numerous speculations. One of these was the rumor about her alleged affair with model Andre Meyer. So, Lea Seydoux and Andre Meyer were photographed by paparazzi while kissing. And, although the girl denies having a love affair with the guy, this photo played almost a decisive role in refuting another rumor. The fact is that the piety of Léa Seydoux’s personal life almost suffered after the release of the film “The Life of Adele.” The unusual role left the imprint of a gay girl on the actress. This film attracted closer attention to the relationship between Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos. In real life, both girls are supporters of traditional relationships.

Star appearance

Léa Seydoux has been shy about her appearance since childhood. At the same time, you can find many of her hot photos on the Internet. Despite the embarrassment, the girl agrees to numerous shootings. She especially loves unusual thematic photographs.

Many fans of Lea think that she is tall because she is successfully involved in modeling. In fact, this girl’s height is only 168 cm. However, the actress does not like to wear heels and most often appears in public wearing flat shoes. She makes an exception only for important beautiful film ceremonies.

The weight of the star is about 50-55 kg. It changes periodically. Lea gained significant weight only during pregnancy. But she quickly managed to return to her previous parameters. Today the actress has the following measurements: 84 by 59 by 89 cm. Seydoux also has a second breast size.

Lea loves experimenting with her own appearance. Especially with hair. Most often, Seydoux is in the form of a blonde with short curls. But periodically, when the usual hairstyle gets boring, the girl darkens her hair slightly or extends it.

Lately, the actress usually appears in public with short blonde locks and red lipstick. The stylists chose this look for her.

At the same time, Lea herself admits that in everyday life her fans hardly recognize her. She rarely wears makeup outside of filming and business meetings and appears in the kitchen in sportswear and with her hair in a bun. The actress once said in an interview that in this form she could calmly stand in a supermarket line and not be afraid of being recognized.

The star often experiments with bangs. She wore both straight and oblique versions. But Lea is confused by the reaction of her fans to this hairstyle. Many openly write to the star that bangs categorically do not suit her.

Seydoux has no tattoos. The girl tries to exclude from her life any experiments with appearance associated with pain. Lea admits that she regrets spoiling her skin with tattoos, and she is afraid of the possible negative consequences of the procedure.

The actress also believes that such an “eternal” design is too difficult to choose, since it can affect a person’s entire future life and even radically change it.

Léa Seydoux was almost cast as the leading female role of the informal Lisbeth Salander in the detective and crime drama “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” in 2011, but the role went to another little-known actress, Rooney Mara. Lea later commented: “I was upset. But I don't think I was capable of going to any lengths for this role. It was completely against my nature. I tried, but the herion Lisbeth is a physically fragile girl suffering from anorexia, and I didn’t like it.”

Seydoux was chosen to play the role of saleswoman Gabrielle in the melodrama Midnight in Paris by Woody Allen. According to the actress, she was happy at the opportunity to star in a film by one of her favorite directors. Léa Seydoux didn't even have to go through the casting process - Woody Allen simply chose her photo from three other actresses.

2011 for Léa Seydoux became the most productive year in her film career. In the Hollywood box office action movie Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Léa Seydoux played assassin Sabine Moreau along with other world stars - Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner.

Plastic surgery

Lea Seydoux, whose hot photos even appeared in glossy magazines, claims that she has never had any plastic surgery. The reasons are the same: she is afraid of surgical interventions. In addition, the girl admits that there are no parts of her body that she would like to change.

Recently, after the birth of a child, she even began to feel attractive and sexy, which she could only dream of before.

But fans still suspect that the actress and fashion model had the following plastic surgeries:

• changing the shape of the nose - shortening the tip;
• changing the shape of the cheekbones;
• lip enlargement

In fact, if you look closely at the star’s childhood photographs, you will notice that these are just rumors. Lea has a very natural natural appearance. And she emphasizes her advantages exclusively with cosmetics.

Cosmetology procedures

Seydoux once admitted in an interview that she is not one of those girls who are ready to spend days at a spa. Sometimes she even forgets to apply cream. The actress is sure that the best way to take care of yourself is to get a good night's sleep, take a walk in nature with your family, and improve your diet by adding a large amount of vegetables and fruits.

Lea had to spend a lot of time with a cosmetologist only after filming the film “The Life of Adele.” The girl does not hide the fact that she completely devoted herself to the film for a whole year. She spent 12 months on the set, and she had no other life.

Due to constant makeup, stress and fatigue, Seydoux's skin condition worsened significantly. Therefore, the star had to resort to a variety of restorative procedures.

In addition, the actress chooses natural products to take care of herself. For example, at lunch she makes a fruit or vegetable mask, using dairy products for this.

Lea loves massage very much. This is one of the main procedures she uses to take care of herself. Seydoux regularly tries to visit a massage parlor after work to relax. She is sure that after such a procedure she immediately gets rid of fatigue and bad mood and comes to her family already calm and happy.

In the future, the actress does not exclude the possibility of minimal cosmetic intervention on her face. Lea notes that it will be possible to correct emerging wrinkles in any possible painless way. But she is not ready for serious changes.

Photo of a star

As noted above, Lea has over 20 covers to date. Most of them are quite modest without candid shots. On the covers, the actress usually appeared in modest dresses, formal trouser suits, and spectacular feminine dresses.

The only exceptions were “MAXIM” and “Marie Claire”. In the first case, the girl sits in the photo in a little black dress and shows fans her open back and stockings. And in the second, the actress was photographed topless. She covers her upper body only with her hands.

Léa Seydoux, whose hot photos are now appearing more and more often, is not at all embarrassed to pose even completely naked. It is known that her other half is not at all opposed to such filming.

Today on the Internet you can find, for example, footage from films in which a girl appears completely naked and even during intimate scenes with a partner. There are shots in which the actress is undressed, and she only slightly covers her body with her palms.

Lea also has several personal erotic photographs. She herself boldly showed their fans. For example, a photograph in which Seydoux first sits in a T-shirt, and then lifts it up and shows the absence of underwear underneath. This photo became the girl’s most scandalous. It was discussed for a long time by subscribers and critics.

But the actress is completely calm about any statements addressed to her. She repeatedly noted that she lives only the way she wants and does what she considers necessary and correct. She doesn’t always listen even to the advice of her significant other, let alone her fans.

Biography of Lea Seydoux

Was the path not so thorny?

Let's be honest: in a family with so many successful producers, Lea could easily pave the way for a big movie. The grandfather of actress Léa Seydoux, Jerome Seydoux, is the president of the oldest and most respected cinema), his brother Nicolas runs another famous film corporation (Gaumont). But they are film businessmen, not artists. Their granddaughter turned out to have real performing talent, which made it possible to easily portray “the girls next door” and transform into the charming heroine of “Beauty and the Beast.”

Overcome shyness

Actress Lea Seydoux is a Parisian, born on the first day of July 1985. As a child, she dreamed of becoming an opera prima, and now she would really like to play in a musical. The girl's first acting tests took place in the theater studio of a small Parisian school. She is very grateful to her director, Ms. Fitoussi, who helped the shy, modest little girl feel more confident.

But the Frenchwoman’s film debut took place at the age of 21. It was the teen comedy Girls on Top, and Seydoux portrayed Aurora, one of a spunky trio of girls taking part in a dance competition. Lea Seydoux’s biography was supplemented by several TV works, and a couple of years later she filmed the drama “The Beautiful Fig Tree,” which brought the young artist a Cesar nomination.

"Own" in Hollywood

After a small episode in Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” (she appears at the beginning of the film in the company of Christoph Waltz), Hollywood recognized the fragile Parisian as “one of their own.” She began acting with iconic directors. Ridley Scott - in the historical drama "Robin Hood", Woody Allen - in the romantic "Midnight in Paris", and most recently - "lit up" in the role of a maid ("The Grand Budapest Hotel"), so did Wes Anderson, who loves to collect her own “collection” of talents, accepted her into his warm company.

The public remembered both the bright, well-fighting killer from the next part of the action movie “Mission: Impossible”, and the blue-haired Emma from the film about lesbian fantasies “The Life of Adele”. It was Lea too.

Feminist fairy tale

And in 2014, a fairy tale by Christophe Gans was published, who was able to discern in actress Léa Seydoux both an ordinary girl going through the time of growing up, and the bride of a fairy-tale prince, who suits luxurious outfits so well. The project “Beauty and the Beast” stars Léa Seydoux and Vincent Cassel in the title roles. According to the performer herself, she dreamed of such a film. Even as a child, she was in love with the film adaptation of the fairy tale directed by Jean Cocteau. Although Hans turned out to be a much more “feminist” fantasy. Belle needs all her determination to fight for her happiness. By the way, one of the actress’s last roles was another Bond girl, Dr. Madeleine Swann.

How a star stays in shape

Lea Seydoux has a beautiful slender figure. In interviews, the girl is often asked questions about how she manages to stay in shape.

It turned out that the actress has several rules. Below they are arranged in order of importance for the star:

1. A lot of work and don't sit idle. The girl is sure that people often get fat precisely from boredom and lack of activities. When she stays at home and is not interested in anything, she also begins to entertain herself with her favorite dishes. This leads to unwanted changes in the figure.
2. Be sure to put a lot of greens and vegetables on your plate with any dishes . Even if she eats pizza or a burger, she always cuts up a large amount of fresh cucumber, baked zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and spinach leaves for fast food.
3. Arrange fasting days . The actress cannot give up her favorite dishes forever, but she tries at least from time to time to make her daily menu completely healthy and low-calorie.
4. Be in love . Lea advises everyone to immerse themselves in this feeling, but not to tell anyone about their happiness. She notes that girls in love do not have problems with their figure. They love themselves in any form and burn calories in the most correct ways.

But Seydoux is not too fond of sports. The girl only tries to do simple exercises from time to time. She struggles so much with excitement and painful anticipation. The actress really doesn’t like queues or waiting for anything. To speed up this process, she does squats or other similar actions.

Lea avoids the gym. She is sure that active work on the set is enough to keep herself in shape . Usually the process lasts for long hours and the actors are physically very tense during the process. When there is no filming for a long time, Seydoux begins to swim. Preferably in natural reservoirs.

The talented Lea Seydoux is known today not only in her native France, but throughout the world. Because of the girl’s hot photos, real scandals often unfolded around her name, but this only made the actress even more popular.
