As a child, she had no desire to act. She instead wanted to be an opera singer, studying music at the Conservatoire de Paris.
And Lea relies on her childhood and adult experiences to shape her character development process, she said: ‘Actually, I think I don’t act. I never act. I don’t think that I inhabit someone else. I always act myself in all the films. It’s always the same character but molded in a different way.

Fukunaga penned the movie’s script with Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Lea also discussed her thought on the post #MeToo era.
‘I think that it’s really difficult now,’ she said. ‘The world has become so binary. Everybody gets so politically correct, and it frightens me, because some people have done very serious damages and things that are unacceptable, but we need to forgive also. And now c’est la guillotine.’
