Pleasantly un-bimbo – she’s a natural blonde but prefers the brunette look – French-born Eva is kind of like your weird hot cousin who comes over to visit on holidays. She went to an English-speaking school in Paris, and today’s there’s barely even a Gallic twinge to her accent, just a smouldering sensuality you’d never find on a girl from Essex.
Her first break came in arty, clothes-optional flick The Dreamers in 2003, but it was opposite Daniel Craig in Casino Royale that she became a superstar and was (erroneously) named fourth best Bond girl ever in Entertainment Weekly.
You might also have seen her in Kingdom Of Heaven, or more recently in kids’ adventure The Golden Compass; the forthcoming Cracks, however, sounds far better, because she plays a swimming teacher who seduces a student.
