Eve earning her stripes as TV career takes off in The Knick
BONO’S daughter Eve Hewson reunited with actors Clive Owen and Andre Holland at what was a high- spirited ‘Meet the Actors’ discussion in New York city.
The U2 frontman’s daughter looked stylish in a black and white striped outfit as she did a Q&A session about her new Cinemax series The Knick.
And the trio clearly had a whale of a time together on set – a mood that they brought to yesterday’s event.
Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the American TV drama focuses on a doctor, played by Owen, who pushes the boundaries of medicine, morality and race at the Knickerbocker Hospital, aka ‘the Knick’, in 1900s-era New York.
The 24-year-old plays a nurse from West Virginia at the hospital.
Season two of The Knick pre- mieres in the US on October 16. Meanwhile, rumours have linked Eve to the lead role in Robin Hood: Origins, along with a string of other actresses.
Speaking to GQ earlier this month, the rising star said public recogni- tion was a downside to her growing acting career.
Dubliner Eve said: ‘It freaks me out. I’m going to have to start behaving in public. I think I have a “blur face”. I assume no one will recognise or remember me.’
Born in Dublin, Eve is the second daughter of Bono and his activist wife Ali Hewson.
Though she’s now living in New York, she said her Irish roots seem to follow her wherever she goes.
Without even meaning to, the young actress ended up choosing an apartment in trendy Brooklyn that was right across the street from an Irish bar. ‘It’s the bane of my life,’ she said.
Eve also starred in Steven Spielberg’s latest release Bridge Of Spies.
The American historical thriller sees her share screentime with the likes of Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance and Amy Ryan.
Last July, Hewson appeared on the cover of Town & Country’s Modern Swans i ssue, which spotlighted 50 young women ‘making their mark on the world’.
