Her Words Are Her Bond
Harper's BAZAAR Singapore|May 2020
Ahead of reprising her role as an atypically complex female foil to 007 in the long-anticipated No Time to Die, Léa Seydoux speaks candidly about film, family and the Me Too movement.

Her Words Are Her Bond

In the window seat of a restaurant in SoHo, New York, Léa Seydoux is figuring out how to tame a gargantuan burger, which she needs to eat as fast as possible so that she can think. She is extremely hungry. She is also extremely tired. Seydoux has a three-year-old son who likes to climb into her bed at night (“I have no authority,”she concedes mildly) and a brutal schedule simultaneously promoting the forthcoming James Bond movie, No Time to Die, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, and shooting a French film by Bruno Dumont in Munich. But the world’s attention, inevitably, is on the former—a project that seems to have been beset by challenges, most recently having its release date pushed back to November in response to an open letter calling for public health to be prioritised above marketing schedules.

TAURUS (21 APR - 21 MAY) Happy birthday, Taurus! This May, your life takes the form of a mandala an intricate shape made from coloured sand that is destroyed after its creation. This doesn't mean that you'll lose everything. In fact, the whole month has the potential to be highly abundant, especially around the 19th, when Venus transits through your sign. Be brave and let go of attachments.
