Eva Green: 5 Things To Know

1. Pain = Beauty

This is how far Eva goes for her movie roles: Rise of an Empire features a particularly violent sex scene, and Eva was totally willing to get down and dirty for it. “I bruise very easily,” she told OTRC.com. “It’s all for art. All that pain for art.”

2. She’s An Older Sister… Barely

Eva was born just two minutes before her twin sister, Joy, on July 5, 1980.

3. She’s A Self-Confessed Nerd

Though Eva is incredibly hot and powerful on the big screen, the actress actually considers herself a bit of an introvert. And she’s not much for dating — instead, she calls her Border Terrier her “husband,” according to The Age.

4. She’s Put That Gorgeous Face To Work

Eva has also paid the bills by modeling for a slew of high-end brands. The sexy star has been the face of Heineken, Emporio Armani, Lancome, and Christian Dior.

5. But Mostly, She’s A Total Badass

All you need to do is look at Eva’s movie roles to see that she’s a girl who prefers to dominate the boys rather than date them. Before stealing Rise of an Empire, Eva played the mysterious femme fatale Vesper Lynd in the James Bond film Casino Royale, and she’s also starred as a brutal heroine on the Starz series Camelot.

Is Eva your new Hollywood crush? Because she’s definitely ours.
