Trivia
She has often been mistaken for Margot Robbie, and vice versa. This inspired Greta Gerwig to cast her as a Barbie in the film Barbie (2023), with the plan to shoot a doppelganger scene with Robbie.

Quotes
[In an interview for Irish Times in regards to French and British cliches] I can't speak for an entire country. I don't see France as repressed. But I don't see it as super-liberated either. I do get annoyed at the cliches. No, not all French people want to have sex all the time. Not all French people have hairy armpits. It's the same with British people. We are not all stiff-upper-lip and coy. That's not true either. Let's get past these things.
