Early life
Hewson was born in Dublin in 1991, the second daughter of Bono and Ali Hewson. She was named after being born on 7 July at 7:00; "eve" is the middle of the word "seven". She has three siblings: older sister Jordan and younger brothers Elijah Bob Patricus Guggi Q and John Abraham. She was educated at St. Andrew's College in Dublin and attended New York University (NYU).
U2 song "Kite" was inspired by a moment when Bono took a kite up on Killiney Hill with his two daughters, but the kite blew off and smashed and Eve asked if they could go home to play with their Tamagotchis.
Career
Although her father and mother were against Hewson performing,she made her acting début in 2005 alongside her sister Jordan in Erica Dunton's short film Lost and Found. She made her feature-length début in 2008 in another film directed by Dunton, The 27 Club. The same year Hewson took part in an acting programme at the New York Film Academy. In 2010 she appeared in the music video and accompanying short film for Irish band The Script's song "For the First Time".
In 2011 Hewson appeared alongside Sean Penn and Frances McDormand in Paolo Sorrentino's This Must Be the Place, playing the role of a young punk called Mary. She will play Yvonne in an upcoming thriller film called Blood Ties by French director Guillaume Canet.
