Early life

Hewson was born in Dublin, Ireland, the second daughter of activist Ali Hewson (née Alison Stewart) and U2 lead singer Bono (Paul David Hewson). Her name is derived from her time and date of birth (7 a.m. on 7 July), as "eve" is the middle of the word "seven". [2] Her godfather is musician Gavin Friday. [3]

She has an older sister, Jordan, and two younger brothers, Elijah and John. [4] She attended nearby Dalkey School Project primary school, and St. Andrew's College in Booterstown, also in Dublin, for secondary education. The U2 song "Kite" was inspired by a moment when Bono took a kite up on Killiney Hill with Hewson and her sister, but the kite blew away and smashed. [2]

She did a short course at the New York Film Academy in 2008. [5] In 2009, she commenced studies in acting, with subsidiary focus on psychology, at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 2013. [4] [6] [7]

Although Hewson's parents were against her performing, [8] she made her acting debut in 2005 alongside her sister Jordan in the short film Lost and Found. She made her feature-length debut in 2008 in The 27 Club. [9] The same year, Hewson took part in the acting programme at the New York Film Academy.

[13] In November 2013, she was nominated for the Tatler Irish Woman of the Year Award for her work in films. [14]

From 2014 to 2015, she co-starred in Steven Soderbergh's Cinemax TV series The Knick . [15] In October 2015, she appeared as Carol Donovan in Steven Spielberg's Cold War movie Bridge of Spies . She portrays the daughter of the film's main character, played by Tom Hanks.

She played Maid Marian in the Otto Bathurst version of Robin Hood , which was released in November 2018, and starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Dornan. [16] In August 2019, it was announced Hewson had been cast in the role of Adele on the Netflix psychological thriller miniseries Behind Her Eyes , which premiered in 2021. [17]

In 2020, she starred as Anna Wetherell in the drama The Luminaries . Broadcast on BBC One in June, it was based on Eleanor Catton's 2013 novel, set in New Zealand during the gold rush of 1866, and also starred French actress Eva Green. She plays Anna Wetherell, a young woman who migrates to the country's South Island and is soon trafficked into the sex trade. [18] She subsequently starred in the Apple TV+ limited series, Bad Sisters . [19] In 2024, she joined the Netflix mini-series The Perfect Couple released in September 2024. [20]

Personal life

Hewson grew up in Killiney, an affluent suburb of Dublin; [21] she later lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. [22] [23] She graduated from New York University on 22 May 2013; her father, Bono, declined an offer of an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from NYU on the same day, stating he wishes to focus on "being a proud father". [24]

Hewson dated One Tree Hill actor James Lafferty from 2010 to 2015. [25] Hewson moved back to Ireland and was based at the family home during and after the COVID-19 pandemic; she remained based in Killiney as of early 2023. [4] [26]
