Early life

edit

Born on 1 July 1985,[9][10]Seydoux is the daughter of businessman Henri Seydoux and Valérie Schlumberger. She was born inPassy,in the16th arrondissementof Paris, and grew up inSaint-Germain-des-Présin the6th arrondissement.[11]She had a strictProtestantupbringing,[12]but she is not religious.[13]Seydoux is one of seven children. She has three older half-siblings (Marine Bramly, Noémie Saglio and Ondine Saglio) from her mother's first marriage, an older sister, stylistCamille Seydouxfrom her parents' marriage, and a further two paternal half-brothers, Ismaël Seydoux and Omer Seydoux, from her father's marriage to modelFarida Khelfa.[14]

Seydoux's parents are both partly ofAlsatiandescent. Her father is a great-grandson of businessman and inventorMarcel Schlumberger,while her mother is a granddaughter of Marcel's brother, Maurice Schlumberger.[15][16]The family name came to exist in 1902,[17]when Seydoux's great-great-grandfather Charles-Louis-Auguste-Jacques Seydoux (1870–1929) married Mathilde, daughter of Languedoc aristocrat François Fornier de Clausonne de Lédenon, whose family held thetitlesof Baron de Lédenon andseigneurde Clausonne, de Laugnac et de la Bastide d'Albe.[17][18][19][20][21]The Seydoux family is widely known in France and influential in the movie industry. Her grandfather,Jérôme Seydoux,is the chairman ofPathé;[22]her granduncle, Nicolas Seydoux, is the chairman ofGaumont Film Company;[22]her other granduncle,Michel Seydoux,also a cinema producer, is the chairman of theLille-based football clubLille OSC;and her father is the founder and CEO of the French wireless companyParrot.[23]She has stated that her family initially took no interest in her film career and did not help her, and that she and her influential grandfather were not close.[23][24][25]As a child, she had no desire to act. She instead wanted to be an opera singer,[13][26]studying music at theConservatoire de Paris.[27]

Seydoux's parents divorced when she was three years old and they were often away,[24]her mother in Africa and her father on business, which, combined with her large family, meant that she "felt lost in the crowd... I was very lonely as a kid. Really I always had the feeling I was an orphan."[23]Through her family involvement in media and entertainment, Seydoux grew up acquainted with prominent artists such as photographerNan Goldin,musiciansLou ReedandMick Jaggerand footwear designerChristian Louboutin.[23]For six years, Seydoux went tosummer campin the United States, at the behest of her father, who wanted her to learn to speak English.[28][29]

"My grandfather Jérôme has never felt the slightest interest in my career. [My family] have never lifted a finger to help me. Nor have I asked for anything, ever."

—Seydoux dismissing suggestions that her family connections have helped her career[30]

Her mother Valérie Schlumberger is a former actress-turned-philanthropist and the founder of the boutiqueCompagnie d'Afrique du Sénégal et de l'Afrique de l'ouest(CSAO), which promotes the work of African artists. Seydoux once worked as a model for their jewellery line Jokko. Schlumberger, who lived inSenegalas a teenager, is also the founder of the charitable organisationsAssociation pour le Sénégal et l'Afrique de l'Ouest(ASAO) andEmpire des enfants,a centre for homeless children inDakar,of which Seydoux is the "godmother".[13][23]

Seydoux describes her youthful self as short-haired, slightly dishevelled, and widely viewed as a bit strange: "People liked me, but I always felt like a misfit."[12]Still concerned for her shyness in adulthood, Seydoux has admitted to having had an anxiety crisis during the2009 Cannes Film Festival.[31]

When asked about questioning her own sexuality while shootingBlue Is the Warmest Colour,Seydoux said: “Of course I did [question my sexuality]. Me as a person, as a human being... It’s not nothing, making those scenes. Of course I question myself. But I did not have any revelations.”[106]

I was very young, 18 years-old. I was coming out of a very troubled teenagehood, and I didn't really know what I was going to do with my life. I met Louis, and it was like I saw myself in him. He suddenly embodied something that I could envision myself in. Yet we’re very different, Louis and I, but strangely he kindled in me a desire for cinema to which I had never had access before. I had never seen him in a movie, he was a student at the Conservatoire, and I had this vague desire to become an actress, so I was doing casting calls for projects I wasn't actually interested in... I stalked him a little, I wanted to talk to him, but he was quite distant... I was annoying him, I think... He was a bit arrogant at the time.”[112]

In June 2024, Seydoux signed a petition addressed to French PresidentEmmanuel Macrondemanding that France officially recognize theState of Palestine.[113]
