If you’re a lover of British independent cinema, you may have seen English actress Alice Eve in such movies as Starter for 10 or Big Nothing.
If you’re not, then may She’s Out of My League be a fitting introduction. In the comedy opening Friday, Eve plays the “perfect 10” love interest for a geeky airport security guy (Jay Baruchel). Airports are familiar ground for Eve, as she commutes between work in America — she’s also appearing in this summer’s Sex and the City 2 — and her flat in London. “I couch surf, which I think I’m going to have to change,” Eve says.
“You can only live out of a suitcase for so long.” I talked with the 28-year-old actress for a piece in last weekend’s Who’s News page, but read below for more of our Q&A and check out a clip from She’s Out of My League.
BRITISH actress Alice Eve says she’s “excited” to be starring in the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel.
In Sex and the City 2, Eve, 28, plays Charlotte’s (Kristin Davis) Irish nanny.
And the busty beauty says she can’t wait for the film to hit theaters.
“I’m allowed to talk about how excited I am about it,” Eve said in an interview with The Miami Hurricane. “I’ve watched those shows since I was a teenager. I play Charlotte’s Irish nanny.”
Meanwhile, in an interview with Mania, Eve spoke about being the new kid on the block on the set of SATC.
“I had to make sure I was very prepared, and I do believe in doing your homework,” she said.
“That movie runs like a slick machine, and you have to fit into that.”
“I tend to gravitate towards romantic comedies,” she added. “If there’s a great serious movie, then obviously I love that too, but I end up doing lighter fare.
“Maybe because that’s what I’m entertained by myself. Really, the projects I do are the ones where the people are impressive, that has a good script and with good people involved. That’s what going to make the product positive and pleasurable.”
