Lea was born on July 1st, 1985 in Paris, France. Although having a strict Protestant upbringing, Seydoux didn’t grew up into a religious person. On the contrary. Her career takes credit for Lea not having the problem with nudity at all. At early age, Lea studied music at the Conservatoire de Paris, pursuing a career of opera singer. Strangely enough, one of the main reason why she quit was her shyness. But couple years later, new dream career enchanted her – becoming an actress. Being shy obviously slowed down her progress also here but she persisted and received her first role in 2006. It took two more years before young Seydoux (23 years old at that point) gained the valor to undress in front of the camera. Her role of Junie de Chartres, The Princess from Cleves, opened her new opportunities.
