Eva’s Education: Schooling/University

Eva Green was raised in France and attended the American University of Paris, an English-speaking institution. She also spent time between London and Ireland growing up. Her school days were not that much into the limelight, but she opened up about it and said that she was quiet and a gentle one through the school years. During her school years, she developed an interest in Egyptology when she visited the Louvre at age seven. At the age of 14, after seeing Isabelle Adjani in The Story of Adele H., Green decided to become an actress. 

Her mother initially feared that an acting career would be quite the hassle for her sensitive daughter but later came to support her ambitions and didn’t leave her daughter hanging. Green continued her studies at St. Paul Drama School in Paris and took an acting course at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London. After that, Green returned to Paris, where she performed in several plays. Green stated that when she was in drama school, she “always picked the really evil roles,” as she said it’s a great way to deal with your everyday emotions.
