In an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, Seydoux said female characters in the franchise are not simply there for decoration or as the spy's love interest. "We are not here to please Bond's sexuality," she said. "My character is not a stereotype. It's not cliched. She's a real woman, and an interesting woman."
The 34-year-old French actress is unafraid to voice controversial opinions. "I hate the politically correct. And I hate morality, the judgment," she said. "The world has become so polished now, I find it very scary. We're not allowed to commit any mistakes," she added, before going on to suggest that some men should be forgiven for their transgressions. Seydoux has previously alleged that Harvey Weinstein once jumped on her in a hotel room and tried to kiss her. "There is a lot of hypocrisy. Because people knew," she said. "And they take advantage now to say, 'Yes, I've been a victim', and they become heroes. Come on! A hero, for me, would forgive. We need forgiveness, right?"
She added that while it is important for people to be feminists, "we should be masculinist too. And vice versa. We should support each other".
She concluded that she had "never felt inferior to men", but that "I can understand that for past generations it was a real struggle".
