Eva Green as a child

Today I bring you another raritie from Eva’s childhood, and old issue of Paris Match with her mother Marlène Jobert on the cover. Jobert, who was supposed to promote a film, couldn’t stop talking about her twins Joy and Eva. In fact, the proud mother said that she didn’t call the girls “twins” but “kittens” or other sweet names instead, because she wanted them to be different from each other, and have their own personality since the beginning. Apparently Joy isn’t actually Joy’s first name. We weren’t sure about it, but another old issue of Paris Match did call her Johanne. This week calls her Jo-Ann but tells us that Marlène calls her Joy instead of Jo-Ann. Jobert confirms that Joy is her middle name, and that at first they weren’t sure if they should call her Joy because they weren’t sure that Joy Green would be phonetically pretty but that they changed their mind with time. She also said that she thought of Joy and Eva Green because they both have the same numbers of letters and that they’d take the same amount of time to write their names at school. The actress also said that her babies were very different from each other even at 6 months old! Joy was more independent, she could play for hours in her craddle, all by herself. But Eva loved to be with her parents. But they both had one thing in common: they were little girls who hardly ever cried, who didn’t give any trouble to sleep, and woke up with a smile on their faces!
