1. > Eve Hewson may
have shed her gentle
Irish brogue for a
West Virginia twang
to play a nurse on
Steven Soderbergh’s
early-1900s period
piece The Knick,
but Ireland followed
her to Brooklyn: She
inadvertently moved
across from an Irish
bar. “It’s the bane of
my life,” she says.
Recently, she broke
up a highly sauced bar
fight by yelling Shut
the fook up! from her
balcony. Williamsburg
hasn’t softened her
ability to fight Irish
fire with Irish fire.
Eve’s do-gooder
instinct runs in the
family: Her dad is
Paul Hewson, known
colloquially as Bono.
While most offspring
of famous people
wait for trust funds and
easy attention, Eve’s
devoted herself to
serious acting. She’s
fantastic in The Knick,
back this month,
in which she plays a
ballsy nurse who’s
courageous enough to
inject cocaine into a
man’s genitals. And
she plays Tom Hanks’s
daughter in Spielberg’s
Bridge of Spies. (Which
is about a pilot shot
down in a U-2. Really.)
She might soon
become the next
über-famous Hewson.
”It freaks me out. I’m
going to have to start
behaving in public,”
she says. Then again,
“I think I have a ‘blur
face.’ I assume no
one will recognize or
remember me.” May
we submit this photo
as proof otherwise.
