Getty ImagesEva Green says she used to be so shy, she'd almost faint when called on in class. Good thing the
Casino Royale actress seems to have mostly gotten over it -- she stripped naked in her first film
The Dreamers, after all! Still, the actress says she doesn't like being the center of attention, and gets pretty freaked out 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. She revealed: "I hate my bum. I'm like everybody. I only really decided to act because I am crazy.”
However, Eva has said that, despite her own insecurities, she worries about being typecast for her looks. "I am aware of the whole sexy French girl thing. You become a product and people typecast you. It is very stressful, because you take it personally if you are not right for a part and you question yourself a lot."
