Eva Green used to come close to fainting because of her shyness.

The 'Casino Royale' actress - who has previously stripped naked in first film 'The Dreamers' - claims she hates drawing attention to herself and often finds herself struck dumb in social situations.

Eva, 29, said: "At school when a teacher asked me a question I would almost pass out.

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.

"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 modelling 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."
