Tom Leeb is going through a particularly busy period. The son of Michel Leeb, discovered by the public in “Sous le soleil de Saint-Tropez,” has since built a fairly diverse career in theater, music, and on film sets. After several experiences in theater and television, the actor is now one of the faces of “L’Or bleu,” the new saga on France 2 airing from May 20. In this fiction centered around water and ecological issues, he plays Tristan, a manipulative and sometimes dark character. A role that immediately attracted him. “What really attracted me to him is his uncertainty,” he explained to “Télé-Loisirs” on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Tom Leeb is already preparing for what’s next: he will be part of the cast for Season 2 of “Cat’s Eyes” on TF1 and is also working on a film project that he dreams of directing himself. “It’s a dream that is becoming very concrete, but it’s like climbing Everest,” he shared.
But in recent days, it’s a much more unexpected confession that has caused a reaction. Very committed to environmental issues, Tom Leeb revealed certain habits that he and his partner apply daily to save water. Naturally, this surprised many people. “I turn off the water when I wash my hair in the shower, and some will find that disgusting, but with my partner, we don’t flush after urinating, for example,” he humorously declared. An approach embraced by the actor, who believes that these small gestures could have a real impact if more people adopted them. “If everyone did this, the amount of drinking water saved would be enormous.” This statement fits perfectly with the universe of “L’Or bleu,” a series focused on tensions surrounding drinking water in a village in southern France.
Lastly, he could not talk about his journey without mentioning his father, Michel Leeb, whom he greatly admires. The actor was particularly moved when discussing his father’s return to the stage, as he is currently preparing a solo show titled “Ma vie en rire” for his 80th birthday. “It’s completely crazy! I am very emotional to see him working on his solo show for late 2026-early 2027, in which he really puts all his soul into it,” Tom Leeb confided to “Gala.” He especially admires his father’s ability to continue reinventing himself after so many years in the industry. “My father is a great inspiration,” he declared, before adding, “By seeing the evolution of my father’s career, I feel that the further he has gone, the more beautiful things he has accomplished.” These powerful words show how central the bond between the two artists remains in his journey.
