An ethereal beauty like no other, Eva Green has scooped up multiple roles in innumerable star-studded projects and never once ceased to leave viewers baffled with her tremendous emotional complexity. After starting her acting career through theatre, she debuted in Hollywood in 2003 and didn’t take long to become one of the most sought-after actresses of all time.
Also renowned for playing a Bond Girl in 2006’sCasino Royale, she didn’t hesitate to bare herself to star as the peerless spy’s love interest even though it was only the beginning of her career. This was because, before this film, Green starred inThe Dreamers, which had her pulling some risky moves with her co-star to calm her nerves before shooting an intimate scene.
Eva Green Took Some Real Risks While ShootingThe Dreamers
When she got cast inCasino Royale–Daniel Craig‘s smash-hit masterpiece that marked his debut as James Bond – Green was already a Hollywood hotshot famous for not hesitating to undress for the screens. This fame came from her 2003 film, which both marked her official debut and served as her breakthrough role: The controversial erotic drama,The Dreamers.
For one that marked her debut, this movie must have been truly hard to shoot, especially for Green, because baring yourself right from the first film isn’t something all actors are comfortable doing. In an interview with Vulture, she confessed having complex, mixed, and truly scared feelings about the same, saying (viaThe Things):
It was so scary and surreal. I’m somebody who doesn’t even dare to — I’m not very confident in my body. I don’t like hanging out in a swimsuit around people without a towel around me, even at that age. So it’s like, Here you go! I’ll show my body! I don’t understand myself. I don’t get it.
But while being scared about it was one thing, Green didn’t hesitate to do something about it. That said, she agreed to pull off some pretty risky moves with co-star Louis Garrel to calm their nerves beforeshooting their intimate scene– they flashed each other their private parts.
As theKingdom of Heavenstar continued to admit in the interview:
There was a breaking of the ice before the s-x scene. The actor Louis Garrel came into my trailer and said: ‘I will show you my d—k if you show me your br—ts.’ So I did, and he did. He said to me: ‘They look great.’ So when it came to the s-x scenes, it made it a little easier.
Of course, had they agreed to do it in today’s day and age, it would have resulted in something immediately frowned upon; enough to land them in trouble. However, back then, it seemed to work perfectly as it not only helped both actors shoot the intimate scene together with ease but also launchedEva Greenas one of the most in-demand actresses in the entertainment industry.
Eva Green Also Had “Some Whisky” to Prepare For Her Virgin Character
In another interview with Britain’s The Sun (viaToronto Sun), Green went on to talk about the scene in the film where she had to show her character, Isabella, losing her virginity. Sharing her experience of shooting the same, theMiss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Childrenactress said:
The s-x scenes were quite full-on and frank in The Dreamers. I had a scene in which my own character has to lose her virginity. I had to remember how I felt when I first had s-x. I am so reserved in real life, but I surprised myself completely.
That’s not all. While stripping for the screens,the Bond girlalso revealed that, before agreeing to flash each other with Garrel, she tried on some whisky as well.“I was asked if I wanted some alcohol before some of the scenes,”Green came clean, continuing,“and admit that I did have some whisky.”
