Léa Seydoux – The Beast: “Gaspard Ulliel was there with us”

“I’m a big fan of Tom Cruise, being able to play things as subtle as Eyes Wide Shut and at the same time doing action films like that (Impossible mission) it’s incredible. Tom Cruise is truly a great actor, I find it very strange that he never won an Oscar.“.

Tom Cruise was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for Born on the 4th of Julyin 1990, and Jerry Maguirein 1997. Then for best supporting role in Magnoliain 2000. But he was not cited for his role in the Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick.

“He’s the biggest star, when we talk about stars“, continues Léa Seydoux. “More than Brad Pitt?“, the Konbini journalist asks him?I believe. There is more mystery in Tom Cruise, he is a bit of a superman, like Michael Jackson, these are people who are not human.”

Léa Seydoux had the opportunity to play Sabine Moreau in the 3rd part of the Mission Impossible saga, Ghost Protocol, and therefore to give the answer to Tom Cruise. A collaboration that visibly marked her:

“He arrives, he changes the atmosphere of a room (…) I still really enjoyed being part of this film, plus the one I made is very good. I didn’t see the others (laughs).”

The career choices of Tom Cruise, who has devoted himself mainly to action cinema for more than 20 years, have kept him away from the race for statuettes. But it’s up to him to return to Oscar roles. Cruise is currently working on Mission Impossible 8but according to rumor, he could also participate in Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, The Movie Criticwhere he would meet Brad Pitt.
