Léa Seydoux has had lots of success with Hollywood blockbusters, showing in two James Bond movies — Spectre and No Time to Die — and now in Dune: Half Two, the place she performs Woman Margot Fenring.
However regardless of these triumphs, the French actress stated in a latest Harper’s Bazaar interview that performing in Europe is simpler on a girl than it’s being within the business within the U.S.
“The business in America…” she trails off, looking for the phrases. “I discover it harsh on girls. It’s onerous for girls to age. I don’t wish to be afraid to not be fascinating or to lose my contract. In America, it’s financial, and when it turns into a matter of earning money, you lose your freedom. I don’t really feel snug with the truth that you must tick all of the containers. Being a girl on display is simpler in Europe.”
She added later within the interview: “My power is that I’m capable of journey and adapt. I’ve extra freedom as a result of I’m a European actress, which fits me. I’m not making an attempt to be standard, I’m simply making an attempt to get pleasure from myself. In America you must conform. I don’t wish to adapt myself to the system, I need the system to adapt to me!”
Her newest French movie, The Beast, satirizes mainstream American moviemaking and its obsession with youth.
Seydoux portrays the identical character in 1910, 2014 and 2044. The Beast has one scene the place Seydoux is required to lie in a shower of gelatinous black gunge for a number of hours.
“I used to be like, ‘Oh no…’” she says, laughing. “Ultimately, it wasn’t that unhealthy. I even fell asleep! Typically you must do uncomfortable issues.”
Comparable to work in American motion pictures.
