Birthday for Léa Seydoux who FSWL interviewed last year. Léa is the latest addition to the line of gorgeous women who has been a 'Bond Girl' after portraying Dr. Madeleine Swann in the 24th film, SPECTRE (2015), directed by Sam Mendes.

Of her pivotal role in SPECTRE, Léa Seydoux said: “She’s a doctor and she’s a strong woman. She is intelligent, independent and she doesn’t want anything to do with Bond when she meets him for the first time. She’s not impressed.”

As the story progressed, events forced a change in their dynamic and their relationship softens. “She understands Bond very well because she has an insight into the world that he lives in. For his mission he needs to understand things from his past and he needs Madeleine for the information she can provide. Eventually, it is a very strong relationship between them.”

With this special page, From Sweden With Love would like to extend our sincere best wishes to the gorgeous actress from France.

“Bon(d) anniversaire Lea, it was a genuine pleasure to meet you in London.”
