Lea Seydoux didn't tell mother about film career

Press Trust of India London
Actress Lea Seydoux has revealed that her mother Valerie only realised she was an actress recently.

The 31-year-old actress has starred in a plethora of blockbuster movies including "Spectre", "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" and "Inglourious Basterds" but says her mother didn't realise she was a movie star for a long time, reported Contactmusic.

"My mother is in this iconic film, but she never wanted to be an actress. Acting is not in our family ... And my father, maybe because his father is in cinema, it is not his thing. He is more into technology. He makes headphones. He is like a geek
 

with his glasses and his passion for computers," Seydoux said.

"My mother, I don't think she realised I was doing this job until recently. My mum called me and said, 'Oh, what are you doing now?' I said I was packing to go to Canada to shoot 'Mission: Impossible'. She paused for a moment and said, 'Oh, OK, and when do you come back?' My mother is definitely in her own world. She has a special personality. She is uncommon. Like me, she is a dreamer.
