Biography |
Born on July 5, 1980, in Paris, France, Eva already had a
foot in showbiz because her mother is well-known French
actress Marlene Jobert. Jobert didn't want Eva to be an
actress, however, saying the business would be too rough on
her thin-skinned daughter.
Fortunately, Eva didn't listen to her mother's advice, and
we eventually got to see some of that skin. She studied her
craft for several years in Paris and London before making
her film debut in 2003 in The Dreamers. Eva described the
movie as being "about a twin sister and brother who have a
passionate, almost incestuous relationship." She appeared
completely nude in this flick. At first, she wasn't
comfortable with the idea of baring it all, but once she
started doing the scenes sans clothing, it was pretty much
business as usual.
Her second big-screen role was as Clarisse in the French
film Arsene Lupin, in which she appeared alongside Romain
Duris and Kristin Scott Thomas.
In early 2005, she portrayed Sibylla in Kingdom of Heaven,
co-starring Liam Neeson and Orlando Bloom.
Eva passed on the chance to be in Brian De Palma's The Black
Dahlia (2006), featuring Josh Hartnett and Scarlett
Johansson, but was later cast in the biggest role of her
career -- the British treasury agent Vesper Lynd in Casino
Royale (2006), alongside Daniel Craig. |
