EVA GREEN'S 'NICE DADDY' DANIEL CRAIG

Casino Royale Stars Eva Green And Daniel Craig

Eva Green claims Daniel Craig was like a "nice daddy" to her when the pair filmed 'Casino Royale' together.The French actress - who won the Orange Rising Star Award at this year's BAFTAs for her performance in the Bond film - played Daniel's lover, Vesper Lynd, in the movie but insists she felt more like his daughter on set. Eva said: "Daniel is a real gentleman, and he's a real actor. He's not all in the head, you know, he's very visceral, plays with his guts and he was very paternal, very reassuring. Like a nice daddy."Eva, who dazzled in a red Dior dress at the prestigious event complete with a unkempt wig, also revealed she likes her hair to look messy when she goes to awards ceremonies. She said: "I have a wonderful hairdresser, French, and I like it when it's a bit crazy and messy."

EVA GREEN REFUSED TO STRIP FOR CASINO

Casino Royale Star Eva Green

Eva Green refused to strip for her role in 'Casino Royale'. Sultry French actress Eva bared all in previous flick 'The Dreamers', but insisted she wouldn't do the same in 'Casino Royale' despite producers' pleas. Stunning Eva told Britain's The Guardian newspaper: "I've been nude in a film before and found it very troubling, so I was quite glad not to be in this film."In the shower scene, they wanted me to strip down to my panties. We had a good fight about that."The actress, whose performance earned her an Orange BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination, said she turned to 'Bond' co-star for support. While Eva doesn't regret appearing nude in 'The Dreamers', she admits having her family see her naked on screen was "shocking". The movie, which also starred 'Dawson's Creek's' Michael Pitt, tells the controversial story of a brother and sister who share an unusually intimate relationship. Certain scenes were cut before the film was released in the US, due to the level of sex and nudity portrayed.
