“Oh, my God, it’s real!” Léa Seydoux, the Bond Woman, made a surprise appearance at the Expo! Even Kika Fujiwara was excited!
Surrounded by a large crowd, she smiled shyly.
Expo ’70 Osaka-Kansai (Yumeshima) was a great success every day.
The number of visitors averaged nearly 200,000 a day, with some pavilions requiring a five-hour wait. The popularity of the Expo was also boosted by the “National Days,” in which events from various countries were held every day.
September 13 was France Day, and actress Léa Seydoux (40), who serves as an ambassador, made a surprise appearance.
Born in Paris, Léa first gained attention in the ’08 film “A Beautiful Person” and made her Hollywood debut in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds,” released the following year. In the 2011 film “Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol” starring Tom Cruise, she played the role of Sabine Moreau, an assassin, which proved to be a hit. This role made her popular worldwide.
In ’13, he starred in “Adele, Blue is the Hottest Color,” which won the Palme d’Or at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival. Since then, she has twice been chosen as a Bond Girl (the title was changed to Bond Woman in “007: No Time to Die” in 2009) in the “007” series starring Daniel Craig. She is a representative French actor who can play a wide range of characters, from tragic heroines to action heroines,” says a reporter from a movie magazine.
Let us return to the beginning of the story. On the day of the event, a “HUMAN AKAI-ITO (Red Thread Project)” was held at the Expo site, in which a red thread was used to connect the 300 meters between the French and Japanese pavilions as a sign of friendship between Japan and France. 200 volunteers dressed in red connected the two pavilions with red batons in their hands. Soon after, Rhea appeared in front of the crowd, which was waiting for the event to start, with her bright blonde hair and suit.
“Oh, my God, it’s real! Oh my God! and “Oh my gosh! Then, smiling shyly, Rea met up with Norika Fujiwara (54), the honorary director of the Japan Pavilion, who was dressed in kimono, at the midway point between the two pavilions. They passed the baton of the tricolor (the blue, white, and red of the French flag).
At the press conference that followed, Kika spoke to Rea about her conversation with him, saying, “Japan is very humid, so take care of your health,” to which he replied, “‘You’re sweating too. I replied, ‘Yes, I sweat every day,'” she said excitedly.
The hot days in Osaka will come to an end in just over a month.
