Eva Green has opened up about what it was like starring in her first movie and overcoming the initial awkwardness of the sex scenes.

The 44-year-old is best known for her roles as a bad-a** Bond girl, starring alongside Daniel Craig in - the best movie of the franchise - Casino Royale.

Despite tackling sex scenes in the Bond movie, alongside many other of her films, Green spoke out about what it was like filming sex scenes for her first major role and how she 'surprised [herself] completely'.

In 2003 erotic drama The Dreamers - directed by Bernardo Bertolucci - Green took on the role of Isabelle, one of a pair of French twins who bond with an American exchange student named Matthew who's come to study in Paris, France.

Isabelle, alongside her twin Théo (Louis Garrel) and Matthew (Michael Pitt) end up becoming intertwined in a sexual relationship. Alas, we all know the saying three's a crowd, the question is, who will be left out?

Given the sexual relationship between the trio and the film's classification as an erotic drama, it's not a surprise that Green had her fair share of sex scenes while filming.

In an interview with The Sun in 2012, Green - who was 21 years old at the time - revealed the scenes were 'quite full on and frank' and she even had a scene where Isabelle 'has to lose her virginity,' opening up about how she approached the scenes and got over her nerves - with a helping hand, or should I say, private area flash, from one of her co-stars.

Green reveals she was 'asked if [she] wanted some alcohol before some of the scenes' to steady her nerves and admits she 'did have some whisky'.

However, the main 'breaking of ice' before the scene came when her co-star Garrel popped over to see her in her trailer.

Green says Garrel came in and allegedly said: "I will show you my d**k if you show me your breasts."

"So I did, and he did. He said to me: 'They look great.' So when it came to the sex scenes, it made it a little easier," she explains.

When tackling the scene where her character loses her virginity, also Green explains she also drew on her own memories of when she 'first had sex' to help navigate her way through the scene.

She reflected: "I am so reserved in real life, but I surprised myself completely."

UNILAD has contacted Louis Garrel's representatives for comment.
