Lea Seydoux won’t be in Cannes this year after testing positive for Covid-19 back on Saturday. The star is staying in Paris to serve her self-isolation and to do her “part to keep everyone
safe and healthy.” She was asymptomatic following the initial diagnosis and tested negative the day after, on Sunday, but French rules mandate 10 days of self-isolation after a positive
result. The news is a real shame for the French actress, who was _Deadline_‘s cover star for our Cannes-special Disruptors magazine this year due to her having four features here: Wes
Anderson’s _The French Dispatch,_ Arnaud Desplechin’s _Deception_, Bruno Dumont’s _France_, and Ildikó Enyedi’s _The Story of My Wife. _ Here’s a statement from Seydoux: “Sadly, I have to
self-quarantine in Paris and won’t be able to attend the Cannes Film Festival this year. I wish I could celebrate the return of cinema to my favorite festival, but it is in everyone’s best
interest to err on the side of caution and do my part to keep everyone safe and healthy. I applaud all four of my directors and the cast ensembles for their remarkable achievements. From a
distance and in thoughts, I am with you with all my heart.” WATCH ON DEADLINE _Deadline_ first broke the news that Seydoux had tested positive the day before she was due to arrive.
