Lea Seydoux, one of France's most famous actors, may miss the Cannes Film Festival after testing positive for Covid-19.

Seydoux has been fully vaccinated but she tested positive while working on a film, her publicist Christine Tripicchio confirmed Saturday (July 10). She is asymptomatic and isolating at home in Paris, hoping that negative tests on consecutive days could allow her to still attend the festival in the south of France.
