French film actress Eva Green (Eva Gael Green), born July 5, 1980 in Paris. Her family (in the words of Green herself) was moderately bourgeois, her father was Walter Green, a Frenchman of Swedish descent, a dentist, her mother was Marlene Jobert, a philologist, a specialist in children's literature. Eve was educated at the American University in Paris in the English language department. However, the girl’s future was determined after she watched the film “The History of Adele G” by Isabelle Adjani in the title role at the age of 14. Young Eva Green, whose growth and external data is fully consistent with the "stellar" parameters, decided to become an actress.
First films
Green made her first steps in her artistic career in the theater, and she made her film debut only in 2003 in the film "Dreamers" directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Eva Green, whose filmography was in anticipation of her first motion picture, played the main role, student Isabelle. The plot focuses on the sexual experiments of three young people. The next film, in which Eva Green participated, was a historical epic called "Kingdom of Heaven" directed by American director Ridley Scott. This picture made the young actress popular. And after the release of Martin Campbell's movie "Casino Royale" with agent 007 (the role of another James Bond friend), actress Green became truly famous. Eva Green, whose filmography already contained several paintings, continued her career in Hollywood.
The Golden Compass
One of the most interesting works of Eva Green was the fantastic fairy tale "The Golden Compass", in which the actress played the witch Serafina Pekkala, ruling the northern skies. The role was associated with flights above the ground, which did not allow the participation of understudies, since fairly large plans were filmed. And since Eve was afraid of heights, she was constantly shaking with fear, but overall the film was a success and even received an Academy Award for best visual effects. In the same year, Eve almost got a role in the film "Family Secret", but she was ahead of another French actress - Cecile de France.
First failure
Another film entitled "Antichrist" Eva Green, whose filmography did not need middle-level films, refused herself because of disagreements with the director Lars von Trier. In 2009, the actress played the role of the mentally unstable girl Emilia. The picture was not fun, critic Derek Ellie explained the failure of the film by the fact that Eve was unable to convincingly play a split personality of the heroine. Then the actress took part in the historical television series "Camelot", where she played the role of Morgana, Arthur's sister.
Controversial roles of the actress
The 2009 film "Cracks" directed by Jordan Scott, where Eve acted as a young teacher Miss Gee, did not add to the actress's popularity, but gave her the opportunity to feel the depth of acting. Then, in 2010, the film "The Womb" was shot in 2010 by the Hungarian director Benedek Fligauf, in which Eva Green played the role of Rebecca, which caused mixed criticism. Opinions of film critics were divided, some claimed that the plot of the film was quite logical, others said that the plot of the picture was far-fetched and too fantastic. The next film with the participation of Eva Green, entitled "Last Love on Earth" was shot in 2011 by Scottish director David Mackenzie. The fantastic plot did not impress, and the picture failed.
Johnny Depp
In the same 2011, Eva Green, whose filmography already included two tales, again became a witch, having received the role of Angelica Bouchard in the tragic comedy "Dark Shadows." On the set, the actress first met Johnny Depp, who at that time was already a recognized Hollywood star. No one noticed obvious signs of a love alliance between him and Eve, but rumors circulated about it. In addition, Johnny Depp soon divorced Vanessa Paradis.
Personal life
Personal life of Eva Green was distinguished by constancy, back in 2004 she met on the set of the film "Kingdom of Heaven" with Marton Chokash, a regular participant in fantasy-style films. Their relationship lasted for five years, until 2009, when the happy couple broke up. From time to time, actress Eva Green complains about herself in her interviews, they say, she is cold and impregnable in relations with others, and the actress began in order to be able to wear a mask in certain life situations. Sometimes the actress is nostalgic for the theater, she is convinced that only on the theater stage can a real reincarnation occur. And the movie is too opportunistic, the initiative and creative impulses of the actors are destroyed in the bud.
Eva Green and Hollywood
About Hollywood, Eva Green speaks of an overly influential structure in which there is no place for art. The directors fulfill the order, the actors do what they order, and His Majesty the Box Office collectively rules the film empire . Nevertheless, the personal achievements of the actress are impressive, according to Empire magazine, Eva Green is recognized as the sixth in the rating “The Sexiest Movie Star of All Time”, and in 2011, the actress took 18th place in the list of “Most Beautiful Cinema Women”. Films with Eva Green are popular mainly due to the beautiful appearance of the actress.
