“I used this body as a tool,” she explained. “Most of the time you see actresses with bodies that are very controlled, especially here in America. And if I can speak for myself, I’m a bit tired of seeing all these bodies that are just very skinny and not very real. I’m proud to show this body that we’re not used to seeing onscreen.”
The group also got into Seydoux’s long-time friendship with fellow French actress Adèle Exarchopoulos, who sported a “Léa Forever” T-shirt at Cannes this year. “We have a great relationship,” Seydoux said of her Blue Is the Warmest Color co-star. “I mean, we grew up together. She’s a great inspiration as well. I love her freedom—the way she’s not polished, you know? She is herself and very genuine.”
In addition to being a massively talented actress, Seydoux is also a “shopaholic,” as she puts it. She is a huge fan of buying vintage and scouring online auctions, though on this latest trip to New York, she made a stop at Los Angeles Apparel; they don’t have outposts in France. Art is another passion: “I collect paintings that represent motherhood.”
Also on today’s episode, Senior Wellness and Beauty Editor Margaux Anbouba and Global Talent Casting Director Ignacio Murrillo sit down for a chat with Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams about winning the WNBA championship last week.
