Some degree of inbreeding in her lineage.


Wikipedia;

Her father is a great-grandson of businessman and inventor Marcel Schlumberger, while her mother is a granddaughter of Marcel's brother, Maurice Schlumberger


Her paternal great-grandfather was her maternal grandfathers brother.

It's too late at night for me to calculate the degree of inbreeding, it's minor in any case but an interesting tidbit into her family background.

Her family is quite interesting. I've knew for a while she's allegedly disliked to some degree in France as she's considered the benefactor of nepotism and grew up somewhat privileged.

The Seydoux family is widely known in France and influential in the movie industry.
Her grandfather, Jérôme Seydoux, is the chairman of Pathé;
Her granduncle, Nicolas Seydoux, is the chairman of Gaumont Film Company;
Her other granduncle, Michel Seydoux, also a cinema producer, is the chairman of the Lille-based football club Lille OSC;
Her father is the founder and CEO of the French wireless company Parrot.




"My grandfather Jérôme has never felt the slightest interest in my career. [My family] have never lifted a finger to help me. Nor have I asked for anything, ever."

—Seydoux dismissing suggestions that her family connections have helped her career.

A great actress. I love her full name, Léa Hélène Seydoux-Fornier de Clausonne. So aristocratic, so French.
