A role that slipped away
That year, Seydoux was set to star in Michael Gondry's Mood Indigo, but scheduling conflicts with Blue Is the Warmest Colour forced her to leave before filming, and Charlotte Le Bon took her place.
A role that slipped away
Seydoux landed the lead in Arnaud des Pallières' Party of Fools (2023) in June 2020, with Charlotte Rampling and Cécile de France also attached. Before filming began, all three actresses dropped out, and Mélanie Thierry took over Seydoux's role.
A role that slipped away
Seydoux dropped out of David Cronenberg's The Shrouds and was replaced by Diane Kruger. She said she left because she was a bit tired and wanted to have a break, though she loved working with Cronenberg.
Early training
Seydoux once said that she dreamed of an opera career as a child and took music classes at the Conservatoire de Paris, yet her shyness led her to give up that goal.
