‘I always feel like I’m starting from zero. Despite being hand-picked by Woody Allen for Midnight In Paris and by Tom Cruise for Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, ‘I’m never sure of myself,’ the 28-year-old confesses. ‘He wanted to see if I was OK with all the scenes,’ she says, ‘and I was.’ When she met Kechiche to discuss the project, he asked her to read the graphic novel first. In truth, Seydoux knew Blue… would be hard. Kechiche, meanwhile, told France’s Télérama magazine that the film shouldn’t be released because it had been ‘sullied’ by the controversy and, more recently, appeared to threaten legal action against the actress. Seydoux complained that she was made to feel like a ‘prostitute’. It wasn’t long before comments made by Seydoux and Exarchopoulos to journalists about Kechiche’s gruelling working methods ignited an ugly spat with the film-maker. But, as my interview last year revealed, that wasn’t the whole story. Publicly, there were smiles and tears of joy.
