French actress Léa Seydoux tells NPR’s Leila Fadel she’s drawn to complex characters.
In Marie Kreutzer’s latest film, Gentle Monster, Seydoux plays a singer-pianist whose life is upended when her husband is accused of a horrific crime that may have involved their young son.
Seydoux also shares that she didn’t grow up wanting to be an actress, but acting has become a “need” for her to express intense emotions.
