Heels are sexist, says Bond girl Eva (who’s worn a pair or two!)
SHE fell into James Bond’s arms while wearing them in Casino Royale – and even appeared to jump from a staircase in a pair.
But Eva Green says high heels are ‘antifeminist’, claiming they leave women looking ‘like birds on stilts’.
The French actress became a household name across the globe playing Vesper Lynd in 2006’s Casino Royale opposite Daniel Craig as 007. Vesper is shown leaping from a staircase in heels, but Miss Green later admitted a stunt double did the scene. She tells the latest issue of Town & Country magazine: ‘My mother would tell you – I should know how to do my hair, to make an effort. I ought to wear more colours, to be more of a woman, but I like comfort too much. High heels just feel really anti-feminist to me – we’re like birds on stilts.’
Miss Green, 39, who now lives in London, admits she finds it ‘difficult’ to be confident in her looks. She said: ‘There is always that insecurity. I read interviews with women going, “Oh, I’m soooo confident now I am in my 30s or in my 40s, I have found myself.”
‘Well, actually, pfft, it is difficult for an actor, or for any woman, ageing. You think, “My God, will people still like me?”’
