Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sasha Luss is an actual Russian supermodel with zero acting experience; Besson discovered her on a magazine cover and essentially repeated his Léon playbook of 'pretty person learns to hold a gun.'
This was Besson's first release after multiple sexual misconduct allegations surfaced in 2018, making the 'woman uses sexuality as weapon' narrative feel... awkwardly timed at best.
