In one of her latest interviews, the artist acknowledges that her age already bothers some Hollywood casting directors, highlighting the longstanding ageism that continues to plague Tinseltown. We know little about her day-to-day life beyond the fact that she lives in London, works in Paris and uses her Instagram account (which has more than a million followers) to post old film photos and to show her support for activist causes, such as Ukrainian resistance to the Russian army’s invasion. Regardless of the reasons, few actresses today have been able to afford the luxury of leading the casts of blockbuster productions while also keeping such a low profile and preventing the media from reporting about the ups and downs of her love life, for example. “I don’t know, maybe it’s my dog hair, maybe it’s because I don’t talk much,” she says when asked about her image as a mysterious and inaccessible figure. Green poses at the Chanel spring-summer 20/21 collection fashion show. Even after more than three years without appearing on the big screen, Eva Green’s legend is still as strong as ever.

“I still feel like an ugly duckling in this world,” she confesses. Just when she was poised to become the next big global star, Green decided to step away from Hollywood. The introverted performer dislikes exposure and the glamour of Hollywood’s red carpet and photocalls. A Bond girl and Tim Burton’s muse, at 42 Eva Green is still a dame to kill for and the last great example of the quintessential cinematic femme fatale.

It was a fitting tribute to celebrate her birthday and an unmistakable sign that the Casino Royale and Dreamers star has left her mark on an entire generation of viewers who grew up longing for the Parisian gothic beauty, with her black-lined blue eyes, pale skin, and jet-black hair. On July 6, Twitter users made her name a Trending Topic for the entire day. It doesn’t matter that almost 10 years have passed since the height of Eva Green’s popularity.
