I am so shy, and, at the same time, I kind of expose myself literally to thousands of people. I don’t really understand why I do that. I need to go through therapy!” Green’s enthusiasm for the strange, coupled with an odd shyness, intrigued Tim Burton, who met her five years ago, when he cast her in Dark Shadows. “Eva was not instantly knowable. There was something private and mysterious about her, and that’s not common in this day and age. People think she’s ‘dark,’ but she’s more interesting than that. People assume I’m dark too, but I’m really not. Is it just because I wear dark clothing? Do people want me to be in a white suit, like Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island?! Eva faces the same dilemma. We share a complicated way of looking at things. We both have an interest in the unusual.” As a child, it was Green’s dream to work with Burton. Despite being introverted, she always wanted to act. “I was not popular in school,” Green recalled. “I was a real geek, hugging the walls. I blushed whenever the teacher would ask me a question. I was paralyzed.” On the upcoming Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: “Miss Peregrine is like a dark Mary Poppins,” Green said. “She has the ability to manipulate time and uses her powers to protect the children. Miss Peregrine will kill for them.” Green smiled in a slightly wicked, knowing way. “And she does! Which was fun.” While Burton remained largely faithful to the plot in Riggs’s novel, he did not adhere to his rather geriatric depiction of Miss Peregrine. Instead, he imagined her as a strange beauty—he imagined her as Eva. “You know, Mary Poppins is fucking weird,” Burton said. “And Miss Peregrine is the weirdest version of that weird character. There was only one person I could see in that role.” If any info is used, the link back to: http://www.wmagazine.com/people/celebrities/2016/06/eva-green-actress-tim-burton-film/ must be included.

She’s no stranger to baring it all on the big screen, appearing completely in the buff for films like 300: Rise of an Empire and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

But it’s Eva Green’s real life personality – which she describes as ‘so shy ‘- that makes her penchant for nudity that much more unusual.

The 35-year-old French beauty went on: ‘I am so shy, and, at the same time, I kind of expose myself literally to thousands of people. I don’t really understand why I do that.

Green first found fame in 2003’s The Dreamers, a provocative role that led her to starring opposite Daniel Craig in the James Bond flick Casino Royale in 2006.

After initially turning down an audition because she thought her bikini-clad character ran the risk of being one-dimensional, a closer look revealed ‘that she was sensitive and full of secrets. I could understand that.’

And in addition to her more sultry scenes, Eva – whose cover features a dramatically contrasting look between her cerulean blue eyes and raven tresses – finds another commonplace theme in her roles that she can’t seem to wrap her head around.

‘I die in a lot of movies. I don’t know why – it’s one of the unusual things about my career.
