Biography |
Eva Padberg was born January 27, 1980, in Bad Frankenhausen,
Germany. Blessed with beautiful blonde hair and dazzling
blue eyes, it wasn’t long before she caught the eye of
talent scouts upon entering her first modeling contest in
1995. Despite a complete lack of experience, Eva managed to
place in the top 10 and soon won a coveted modeling contract
with Louisa Models, a prominent agency in Munich.
Following three years of occasional gigs, Eva committed
herself to modeling full time in 1998 after graduating from
high school. Her new focus clearly paid off; within months,
she was getting high-profile jobs in Tokyo, Paris and Milan.
1999 brought with it even more travel as Eva invaded New
York. In addition to attending her first New York Fashion
Week -- arguably the biggest event of the fashion year --
Eva also modeled for Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Carolina
Herrera.
Eva’s growing reputation led to her first major spokesmodel
position in 2000, when Palmers Lingerie wisely chose her to
be the face (and body) of their autumn/winter campaign. Eva
also increased her international exposure over the next two
years with succulent pictorials in Elle, Face, Gloss,
Harper’s Bazaar, Madame, Vogue, and Marie Claire, among
others.
Reluctant to become known as just another model, Eva broke
out of the traditional mold in 2003 when she released her
first album with Niklas Worgt, her long-time boyfriend.
Entitled Dirty White, the self-produced disc has been
described as “a colorful music mixture” that combines
Worgt’s minimalist techno sounds with Eva’s fragile, breathy
vocals.
Eva’s versatility naturally made her a popular guest on
German talk shows, and she spent much of 2004 appearing on
programs like TV Total while also helping to anchor
Germany’s Star Search jury. Luckily for us, she didn’t
abandon modeling altogether and she made a particularly
memorable appearance in the May 2004 issue of Playboy. Eva
was also selected as the spokesmodel for Astor, a popular
cosmetics company previously represented by supermodels
Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen.
Eva kicked off the following year with a bevy of magazine
appearances, including sexy spreads in publications like
Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Elle, and perhaps most memorably, the
German edition of FHM. In addition to putting Eva on its
cover, the racy men’s mag also chose her to headline its
list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World.
Already one of the world’s top models, Eva set her sights on
becoming one of the planet’s most recognizable movie stars
when she was cast in In the Name of the King: A Dungeon
Siege Tale (2007). Based upon the best-selling game series
Dungeon Siege, the movie also stars Jason Statham, John
Rhys-Davies, Ray Liotta, and Burt Reynolds. |
