Bond girl Eva Green insists she’s ‘not confident’ about her body – but you might beg to differ, given her latest sultry photoshoot.
The 29-year-old seemed to show no inhibitions when she posed naked for the latest edition of style bible Tatler, recreating a classic Seventies portrait of British actress Charlotte Rampling.
Sitting on a polished antique table in front of an ornately gilded mirror, the Casino Royale star has only a glass of wine for company as she mimics erotic photographer Helmut Newton’s 1973 memorable image.
One thing has changed through the decades, though – the pack of cigarettes behind Ms Rampling’s derriere has vanished, a nod to the fact smoking is no longer promoted as sexy.
Despite her protestations, this is not the first time Paris-born Ms Green has been naked in the line of duty.
Before starring as Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig’s 007, she took a lead role in The Dreamers, a film by Last Tango In Paris director Bernardo Bertolucci that featured several explicit bedroom scenes.
Even though the role was her big-screen debut, Ms Green’s father and twin sister Joy refused to watch it.
The actress said: ‘They’re not in the business. They get confused.’

And she admitted: ‘I felt a bit ill when I saw it. I’m not confident with my body.’
But she seems to have conquered her coyness for Tatler. Another image shows her wearing only a mink coat – again echoing a familiar theme from the work of German-born Newton, who died in 2004.
His 1973 photograph of Ms Rampling for Vogue magazine – taken at the Hotel Nord Pinus II in Arles, near Marseilles, and titled The Sexiest Woman In The World – firmly sealed her reputation as a sex symbol.
Ms Green thinks she is unlikely to earn the same plaudits.
‘I opened a magazine the other day and they called me the worst-dressed person in the world,’ she said.
‘And I was like, “I like that dress.”’
Well, at least no one can criticise what she’s wearing in this latest picture ..
- Gorgeous picture of a gorgeous lady.
