Nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star award this time last year after her role in Palme d'Or winning lesbian coming of age story Blue Is The Warmest Colour, Seydoux is already a pretty big star in her native France. 2015, though, could be the year that she becomes an equally big name in the rest of the world. Seydoux's films for the upcoming year include The Lobster, an unconventional romance set in a dystopian future with Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, and Diary Of A Chambermaid, a turn of the century French romance on which she replaced Oscar winner Marion Cotillard. It is neither of these that are likely to make Seydoux a Hollywood star though. Last month she was announced as the latest in the long line of Bond girls, due to appear opposite Daniel Craig in November's Spectre. Of course, being a Bond girl hasn't always been a sure-fire route to long term success, but given Seydoux's obvious talent and the fact that her Bond film is following by far the most successful in the series (the billion dollar earning Skyfall), it seems likely that her future career will be more like her compatriot Eva Green's than, say, Denise Richards'.
