Eve Hewson: "I went right in the deep end and survived"
Richard Phibbs Eve Hewson’s family has a motto: “Work like a dog, live like a shih tzu.” This work hard, play hard philosophy permeates every story the actress tells me, each instance of effort balanced with an enthusiastic enjoyment of life’s pleasures. It’s very Irish – as is she, proudly so, though she has spent much of her life travelling the world. When she was small, the whole family would follow her father, the U2 frontman Bono, on tour. Then, when Hewson applied to the prestigious Tisch School to study acting, she moved to New York, which has been her base ever since.
