Her twin sister Joy was born just two minutes after Eva. The actress says she and her sister are complete opposites in both personality and looks. Interestingly, both are natural blondes, though Eva has kept her hair dark brown since age 14.

As a child, Eva was passionate about history and even dreamed of becoming an Egyptologist. At 14, after watching Isabelle Adjani's stunning performance in «The Story of Adele H.», she knew she wanted to act.

At 17, Eva left France to study English in Ramsgate, Kent. A year later, she returned home to continue her theater studies at Drama School in Paris. After graduation, she studied acting at London's Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and directing at NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts.

The first roles

Eva then returned to Paris to launch her career. Her performances in «Turcaret» and «La Jalousie en Trois Fax» marked her first steps toward that goal.

Director Bernardo Bertolucci spotted the young actress on stage. He later described her as «obscenely beautiful» and cast Green in his film «The Dreamers» (2003).

Her role as seductive Parisian Isabelle, entangled in a complex sexual triangle with a young American (Michael Pitt) and her brother (Louis Garrel), instantly catapulted the young actress to fame. Eva showcased her originality, natural screen presence, and fearless approach to nudity.

Green wasn't afraid of suffering the same fate as Maria Schneider, who was psychologically damaged by an experimental director during the filming of «Last Tango in Paris». Following this film, Eva Green appeared in another French production, «Arsene Lupin» (2004). Her performance in this «gentleman thief» caper earned her an enticing Hollywood offer.

Her career in Hollywood

The actress made her Hollywood debut in Ridley Scott's epic drama «Kingdom of Heaven» (2005), which chronicled the Christian Crusades in Jerusalem. Eva got the role of Jerusalem Queen Sibylla. The Crusader Balian (Orlando Bloom) fell in love with her. Green not only delivered a brilliant performance as the ancient ruler but stunned audiences with her striking appearance. She seemed as if she'd been born in another era entirely.

After this film, she got the role of James Bond's girlfriend, Vesper Lynd, in the new episode of the adventures of agent 007, «Casino Royale» (2006). The actress didn't just captivate audiences—she completely overshadowed her co-star Daniel Craig. Her portrayal of Bond's love interest became one of the most compelling and complex characters in the franchise's history.

Eva Green always carefully chooses her roles. She gravitates toward characters who alter destinies and reshape reality, avoiding the typical roles that already saturate cinema. The actress likes low-budget movies. In the fantasy film «Franklyn» (2007), Eva Green starred alongside Sam Riley and Ryan Phillippe. Green tackled a dual role in the film. She portrayed both Tracey Emin, an unhinged and worn-down woman, and a witty, upbeat character reminiscent of Mary Poppins.
