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 modeling career.
