Eva Green used to come close to fainting because of her shyness.
The ‘Casino Royale’ actress – who has previously stripped naked in first film ‘The Dreamers’ – claims she hates drawing attention to herself and often finds herself struck dumb in social situations.
Eva, 29, said: “At school when a teacher asked me a question I would almost pass out
“I was terrible and still can be. It overwhelms me. I can be having dinner with people and I find I can’t say a word.
“So being an actor is kind of masochistic.”
The French beauty recently revealed she was also insecure about her body, despite a successful modelling career.
She revealed: "I hate my bum. I'm like everybody. I only really decided to act because I am crazy.”
However, Eva has said that, despite her own insecurities, she worries about being typecast for her looks.
"I am aware of the whole sexy French girl thing. You become a product and people typecast you. It is very stressful, because you take it personally if you are not right for a part and you question yourself a lot."
